Rush lvling a character

I don't know the correct term. Leech lvling?

If I want to rush my friend or vice versa, specifically rushing their level, is there a still a way to do this?

I only sort of remember old D2LOD. I think we were able to leech exp well enough, and then they changed it at some point.

I just read what gRushing is, basically using a bumper to get past ancients then get reduced exp in hell Chaos runs.

cRush is using classic.

I don't want to do either. I just want to know if there's a way to leech exp to the desired character in a reasonable way to reach the required levels for hell and nm ancients.

I understand now there's a penalty if you're not in the correct range for an area. Is there also a penalty for when party members are much higher and doing the killing?

No , you can get exp.

The term you are looking for is "powerleveling".

And since time immemorial the "standard" way of doing it is:
1-15: Normal

Tristram
15-20: Normal

Tal Rasha's Tomb (all tombs, not just one with

Duriel)
20-24: Normal

The Secret Cow Level
24: Normal

Rite of Passage: Quest
25-40: Normal

Baal (all waves; optionally

Baal)
40: Nightmare

Rite of Passage: Quest
41-60: Nightmare

Baal
60: Hell

Rite of Passage: Quest
61-99: Hell

Baal

There used to be another way: killing skeletons summoned by Über

Mephisto, but this exploit has been fixed and they no longer give exp.

You can skip this by doing

Tal Rasha's Tomb until lvl 24.

yes there is a Exp Penalty for higher lvl doing the killing in normal mode and for characters under lvl 25 in nitghmare/hell

At lvl 25 a high lvl can do all the killing in nightmare or Hell and you get very fast exp

its also possible for a high lvl power lvl in cows normal if its 8 player game with exp penalty, but still gives ok exp.

Another way to get faster Exp is to get a high lvl

Enchant your weapon so you kill fast thus getting exp fast (bow would be good weapon to

Enchant even if you are not amazon)

There's a nice xp penalty chart here that can help you.
