Ready, Set, GO!

Shoveling snow at the church, my nephew and I contribute our small portion of hard labour for the week and check out while the adults finish the horrible job we started. Our, perpetual uber noob, nephew continues to tell me the stories of how he's running Frostfell Cheer for the XP boost, as it's February and EQOA still has the Christmas event in play. In these tales of Grinches, CotHs, PLs and raids, there arises the question of how my Hunter on WoW is doing.
"Still 64, went down to 460 gold because I bought some stuff, but I can easily push that back above 500."

"Well since my friend said he is probably gonna pull another all-nighter xping, he invited my 50 Wizard to afk treants with him. Laugh if I get to like 53 over night. Hey wanna see who can level their character faster?"

"Ha, I've already won by 4 levels, highest you can get is 60 =P"

"No, I mean max level."

Naturally we accepted, fully knowing how unfair it is. All I have is my wit and pets to get me to 70 through quests and killing. He sits in front of his TV with a continuous +200% XP boost from Frostfell Cheer in a group of 60s killing 24/7 and he barely has to lift a finger.
Hey, lets make this even more unfair, since I stopped playing EQOA for WoW, I've been letting him play on my accounts and he's been using MY hard earned 60s to collect Siloth Rings and PL his own little butt as much as he wants when he comes over to visit.

If you do the math, I'm winning for now. 64/70 = 91.5% against 50/60 = 83.33%. Just another incentive to get 70 now.

The race has begun.
