Just a thing to point out here, magic tier is not tied to lvls, for instance Narbarel Gamma that is lvl 63 can use 8th tier magic as her strongest, and the author has commented on his page that if she only had 2 more lvls she could use 9th tier magic. Ainz have also commented that the earliest anyone can learn super tier magic which is the so called 11th tier magic is at lvl 60. It is also said in vol 4 by Evileye that a book exists that records every known or discovered magic in their world that hints that earlier players have known 10th tier magic since it is recorded in that book.

In fact while not yet confirmed at what lvl 10th tier magic can be learned it has been confirmed that magic tiers works like this. To take Ainz as an example (this is all an example and not fact) The necromancer class gives access to tier 1-4 magic at lvl 10 if you lvl to 15 you get 5th tier and an ability that strengthens undead but Ainz stopped at 10 because he wanted to lvl Elder Lich instead which gives access to tier 5-6 spells and dark wisdom at lvl 10. Now if for instance Ainz instead for Elder Lich learned let's say his other class Ruler of Death, Elder Lich with Dark wisdom gives him the ability to learn twice as many spells as a normal magic caster but only access to tier 5-6 spells while ruler of death might give access to 7th tier spells at lvl 10. From the authors explanations alot of the classes gives access to spell tiers early on like lvl 5-10 but at lvl 10 and especially lvl 15 they give access to special effects or strong abilities. Which could mean that a lvl 60 magic caster that knows 10th tier spells and super tier magic might be weaker then another lvl 60 magic caster that can only use up to 8th tier spell because that one has special boosts, skills or abilities. Narbarel for instance is a fighter/mage type more focused on the magic side and can still use tier 8th magic at lvl 63 and could use 9th tier at lvl 65.

So it's hard to guess at what the earlier players could use just because the strongest spells for humans today is 6th tier and 7th through items (shown so far) the previous players could be able to use a much higher tier.
