Leveling up fast has always been possible in Diablo III, especially after the introduction of Paragon levels and Seasons, but it's still impressive what some people can do in this respect when they put their minds to it and when they take a number of preparatory measures: one person, who has a video of the feat posted on YouTube (link to video) , has managed to push a character to level 70, which is the non-paragon level cap, in around half a minute.
Mind you, this is obviously not the best way to experience the game, but for those who already have several level 70 characters, it can be a fun little experiment to try.
The first thing to do is to set the stage of the experiment, and that should be a cow rift, because that's where better items, more gold and more XP are dropped. Now these levels aren't that frequent, but they are much easier to come by following the latest patch of the game. Once the cow rift is found, all the bounties have to be farmed on Torment X difficulty, and they have to be dropped on the ground.
Gold-to-XP bracers are obviously a must: the Custerian Wristguards have to be combined with Kanai's Cube (for the legendary affix) so all the gold gets turned into XP. The Gem of Ease is also part of the recipe (its level 25 version that is) as it increases XP production and it reduces the level requirement for every item to 1. This opens up to way to other items which will increase XP production as well: Leoric's Signet and Leoric's Crown socketed with a red gem is also an option here.
The last (and perhaps most important) ingredient of the turbo-leveling concoction is obviously a party with monster characters, so at the end of the day, it all comes down to good-old teamwork, the way Diablo III always wanted it to be.
