I know a lot of grind asking threads are up lately but whatever..

quick question, how bad is the grind on shaiya? It looks really cool and the ultimate mode seems kickass but I don't want to grind for 2 months just to be able to get to ultimate mode...lvl cap is 50 so it doesn't seem like much of a grind but correct me if I'm wrong.

Like basically, how long does it take to get to lvl 50 on normal/hard/ultimate?
