The thing is.. you reach 110 by just maxing a single skill. And in reality, only 1 (or 2-3 depending on your goal) skill(s) even need to be maxed to compete. Once you reach 110 and your hp/stats are maxed, your experience doesn't matter as much and you will realize the pointlessness of continuing to grind. Overall this can be done in 2 days on a minimalist's budget, or maybe a week to get all the core-skills done. As I said before, 2-3 weeks to 107 them all.

-Agility is completely and utterly pointless since traps aren't used and you can't steal meaningful items. Ignore this.
-Magic can be stopped at 18-20 where you can learn every single skill. This can be done in quite literally 15 minutes. You could spend a hour and get level 50~ if you want your walls to last awhile without killing your mana costs.
-Personality is completely and utterly pointless since you can summon monsters. Ignore this.
-Mental is pointless unless you plan on writing scrolls or doing alchemy as a source of income, though you can just buy scrolls for cheap and platinum isn't needed for anything really. Should you want to, this is the easiest skill to max and can be done in a matter of a day (it took me about 7 hours after gathering/being given the materials). I'll say 2 days since you gather the materials.
-Physical is the only really required skill to compete in the game, and is the second easiest to level, cause once you hit the 50~ break-point you can do it yourself without needing a party to leech from you. All you need is a Messiah Bow of Bile, and it can be maxed in 2 sets of reaper spawn. So 2 days, or 1.5 if you offset the spawn times.
-Wisdom is iffy. You don't need it in any way, you can just pray to your god with grace gear, get your spells, and be done. But if you want to bless things (really has less value now than before.. since everyone has maxed with different gods, and they bless for basically free/1 tig) If you do want to max it, you only need to go to 88/96 depending on your god.. which either way ignores the toughest bit of leveling. By now you should have a few friends since you played for at-least 2 days maxing Phys... idle-farming can get this done in 15-20 hours depending on your god. Oh and holy-P I guess matters in PvP, do this.

Basically, it shouldn't take a month to reach 110 even if you did it the hard way and did a bit of each skill legitimately (without just partying). Hell this might actually be faster since your exp/hour wouldn't decrease as you hit the breakpoints. And 107 in all skills is completely irrelevant to the point of competing in the game where it matters. You only need to do 1.75 skills fully to be on the same level as Conq (who has 107 everything) in a PvP scenario.
