It needs lots of exp. Still,keep in mind that monsters give more and more exp. At level 85 you get millions of exp,at level 105 areas like sea of spores billions. And you need ~900 billion to go from 98 to 99. That's like few hundred mobs in sea of spores. And I'm pretty sure that going higher mobs might actually give you like 10-100billion exp or even 1trillion\kill. Still...even with such exp gains getting ~400.000.000.000.000.000 you'll need to kill at least 400k monsters to go from lv 119 to 120. But I really doubt it takes 20 years.

Gearing up was always insane in L2. But with this update they destroyed differences between races untill lv85. Was it really necessary to take away all skills and replace them with weaker versions of 4th class skills. Why does those 1th 2nd and 3rd class transfers exist? What's the point of having grade system if you have no grade penalty and get free twilight set at lv40? Also PK having no punishment is stupid thing. Not only it's not fair: you commit crime without any risk. But also it takes away fun of being PK. When you have nothing to risk there's no fun to PK... Removing grade requirements is also stupid because people will want R110 here and now. With grade penalty you needed to reach required level at least. Which takes time. To reach lv 110 you need trillions...in not quadrillions of exp...so with old system you'd at least have lots of time to get stuff for it...now basically everyone wants R110....even fresh lv85...who reached that level in 1 hour...and since there's no grade penalty even those lv85 wishes to get R110 ASAP. GoD and later patches hurt lineage 2 by kinda taking what makes it unique. But at least leveling took some effort. Not 10-12 quests which can be done in 50-60minutes to reach lv85. Actually this patch will scare new people away. They'll reach lv 85 in hour and assume they can be 110 in one week or even day. But that's not case. Game soon will destroy them with things like no quests or kill 1000 mobs for 1% of level... Even just after hitting lv85. There are few quests. They might give you enough exp to reach lv 86. Can't tell...leveling new character...even if they do....both combined needs at least 400 monsters to kill. Yeah. This is lineage 2. Wouldn't be surprised if later they ask to get 3k demon essence or whatever with drop rate being 1-5%. For those who played older versions it's fine. But it might scare new people. I mean...they might not understand why such sudden random difficulty increase in quests... Anyway...it's possible they planning to shut down game in near future. Still..even if that's truth,I see literally zero reasons to mess up game so badly that everyone would hate it on last days...don't they dare to go game of thrones path...

Tbh this update failed epicly. Sure lv 110 armor is new stuff, ,but was it really needed to literally destroy game. Classes literally has no point. There are no longer difference between racial skills for 1-85 content. Grade system lost its purpose since technically it's possible for lv1 to run with BiS maxed gear. You can also pk without punishment. Maybe it's their plan. To destroy live server and leave only classic version.
