[QUOTE="Buugipopuu, post: 5856422, member: 41173"] The million level fives all get into groups of 125 and draw lots. Those who win in each group of 125 kill all the remaining level 5s, earning enough experience to level up to level 13 (at which point they stop earning experience from killing level 5s). The level 13s all get into groups of 125 and repeat the process. This handily brings them all up to level 20. There were 64 groups in the second stage. I think, if my experience calculations work. I suspect 64 20th level characters, even with whatever gear they can cobble together from all the 5th level PC gear they have, will probably own a 20th level Wizard Lich. You can probably optimise the process further to increase the proportion of the starting million that survive. I believe if you stop at 16th level, 320 survive, and I wouldn't bet on one 20th level Wizard Lich against 320 16th level characters. EDIT: It's also possible to optimise further, as you can choose not to level up even if you have earned enough experience to do so, but I can't be bothered to do the maths to work out the best way to do that.
