Hit Level 35, where should I go now for EXP? (requested by Asap)

[Beaniron]

I just dinged 35 this evening and left Unrest for good, and I'm looking for a new place for EXP, hopefully enough to get me to 39 or 40. Right now I'm attempting to duo Sand Giants in Oasis, was thinking of trying LGuk again if that place is still viable at 35.

Any recommendations where I should go? I know this is going to be a rough level to get through.

[AexDestroy]

What Class are you?

[Beaniron]

Paladin.

[Thulack]

Skeletons in Rathe mt? might not get you to 40 though. Aex would know though since he is a pally lol.

[Purdee]

lower guk would be a fun place for you I assume

[AexDestroy]

How is your gear?

[Beaniron]

Haste belt, Ro armor, SoM/Clay Guardian Shield, 55HP rings, 45HP cloak, Diamondine Earrings, Idol of Thorned, Jboots.

But I'm trying to sell my Dragonborn Sash and use the money to buy a Book of Scale, and replace it with a Silvery Girdle.

I think really you need to be gunning for SolB Royals tanking. A good group there will be the best Xp you can get pretty much anywhere. If you're too low for that, maybe try Window, or try to get some folks in Paw? I think you can still get decent XP there til 38.

I might try SolB if the corpse runs aren't a pain in the ass, and I can bind somewhere close by.

Someone else recommended dead side of LGuk from entry point 7, so I'm gonna go grab my Ghoulbane and try that for the evening. If it doesn't work out, I'll reconsider. I'd like to here more from you guys though.

[AexDestroy]

Somewhere with good ZEM is the best way to deal with Pally negative XP. SolB is great til 52-53

[AexDestroy]

Back before kunark, I did 1-10 Crushbone, 10-18 Oasis, 18-22 Mistmoore, 22-30 Sol A, 30-35 Paw, 35-50 Solb.

How bad is corpse running in SolB, if you're deeper inside?

[AexDestroy]

You wont be back doing BnB for another 10 levels at least. So for Window and Royals, its pretty easy. Its pretty much 3 mobs to get to window, and 4 for Royals.

SolB is a cake walk once you know how all the tunnels connect.

[Beaniron]

Alright, I'm gonna try LGUk tonight, if it doesn't work out I'll definitely check out SolB. But I plan to hit City of Mist at 40 and stay there until 49.

[AexDestroy]

Yeah once you can get to CoM Id recommend going there. having not levelled at all in that range during the Kunark era, I don't really know when the minimum is to be effective in CoM, but I do know the XP there is righteous and its a pretty cool zone.

[Beaniron]

CoM is a minimum of 35 according to the Wiki, but I'm going to wait until at least 39 for new spells, probably 40 for Disarm (and bank my 49 spells before heading there).

[Beaniron]

So wait, all I have to do to make it to Sol B is to go to EC, Nektulos, Lavastorm, and SolB? So it's only 4 zones away from West Freeport?

[AexDestroy]

THat is correct, good sir.

[India]

Yes

[Beaniron]

Yes

Hell yeah then, SolB it is. I'm not gonna last here at LGuk, Ghoul Root and these slippery surfaces will be the death of me, as will the denial of JBoot use.

[Auchae]

I'm not confused by your above average gear, nor am I confused by your lack of knowledge of the game. It's the two combined that baffles me.

[Beaniron]

Assumes I'm supposed to know everything because my gear is better than others. Why can't I just be a well-geared Newbie trying to learn?

[AexDestroy]

Lots of people are here because of a friend who told them to come play and gave them some gear. Not really that baffling.

[Aaron]

OT ramp is good to 40. And easy to get groups and buffs.

[Beaniron]

Well I'm here in SolB, but there's nobody in my level range to group with. Everyone is 48+.

[Swish]

Some good suggestions, sadly playing the disgusting "good" races restricts the amount of stuff you can kill due to faction issues (not wrecking them).

A few more levels and you could attempt spectres, but I don't know what they're like to solo for pallies ~38-40.

[Beaniron]

Well, there's nobody in my level range at SolB, all 50+, so I'll have to abandon this for now. I guess I have no real choice but to go back to MM; everyone is telling me to get a Castle Entrance group.

[Nune]

Mistmoore CE for grouping. Unrest Balcony / Basement solo. For 35 at least.

Get to 40+ and try and get into SolB, spent most of my 40s on Rumham in Royals, a good group with a legit enchanter is damn near free xp once you break the camp. Once you're of proper level, I'd bite the bullet and sit in Feer for a week at specs. As a twinked pally, you should shred these. Also where I was on Rumham up to 47. 35-45 will take a while, and, in my opinion, is the most bottle-necked tier of leveling. Only a handful of good spots if you cant solo well, and there are always people at those spots (which is a gift/curse)

Edit: Hands down, by a landslide, specs solo is the best xp you will get once you are able to do it. The only thing that compared to specs on Rumham was the random time I got into a KC Basement trio @ 47 because there were no clerics to be found that night.

[Beaniron]

So if I can make it through the next 5 levels things should open up again?

[gotrocks]

no one has really said the holy grail of 33ish-42ish leveling, probably because you're a pally and it may be a tad slow, but ill say it anyway.

go do guards in hhk and never look back :D

I'm scared to hurt my faction with them, especially since it also affects Freeport Militia faction.

[gotrocks]

FP militia are the badguys tho! :(

killem all i say. then again, i really only play lizards, so all ofem wanna kill me anyway.

[Beaniron]

Well, I may as well try it, I can always go to Felwithe if Freeport stops accepting me.

[SCB]

Guards in HHK don't affect FP faction. I am super KOS in HHK and can walk around in FP no problem.

Just says my Freeport Militia faction took a hit by killing one.

But, nice. Getting good EXP and a lot of money just selling to Tarn. I may be able to ride this place out. I just hope none of these factions are required for Fiery Avenger/Defender.

[Beaniron]

Wow, why didn't I move to HHK guards earlier. These guys are easy at 35, still give me decent EXP, and it's almost 6pp a guard.

I'm in heaven. lol

[gotrocks]

hey, Pm me your in game name, im heading over there with my monk, we can duo it up a bit i know where all the good to kill guards spawn :D

[Clark]

Lguk

[Bubbles]

+1 for City of Mist. Lots of undead, plenty of grouping to be had during prime time, and you can bind *in* the zone. Only downside is it's one *hell* of a run to buy/sell, so bring plenty of food n' drink.

Nothing wrong with HHK+SolB either, though.

I wouldn't go anywhere near spectres. They hit way too hard to solo efficiently as a melee. You'd be much better off soloing (with ZEM) undead in City of Mist using Lull to make pulls.

I told you you should kill them like a week ago! Just like I told you that you can get to the bank and your trainers in NFP through the tunnels, easily avoiding the militia, and that you will ruin that faction eventually anyway for your epic, etc!

:p


I think the xp on the guards dies out by like 37/38 though. My SK was up to 36 in highkeep and basically all of the guards except for the 10ish ones on the top floor were light blue or green. The xp is definitely top notch until then though, and from 30-35 my ranger made about 3k selling all those FS swords. If you are VERY careful and lull the banker you can even use the bank in the basement still.

its legit up until about 43, just gotta pick the right guards!

[Beaniron]

I'm jealous that Bean has good equipment and rich friends so I like to insult him and falsely accuse him of RMT to make myself feel better.

I'm glad you were able to admit it. Now we can be friends. =)

And yeah Gotrocks, I saw some whites/yellows on the highest floors. The Nobles almost killed me too, 342 backstabs.

[Stinkum]

Posting in Beaniron's 15th thread about how to play Paladins.

Just a note that in his last thread, Beaniron didn't know that you have to be level 46 to do planes. And yet this same person was a level 20 Paladin who had MQ'd half his epic already, and was begging other people to do the other 1/2 of his epic for him.

Runed Mithril Tunics.

[Beaniron]

Stinkum should really find something better to do with his time than falsely accusing other people of things they haven't done.

I hear getting a job is a good thing these days.

[Stinkum]

I think TMO charges something like $250 for the Trak drop needed for the Bard epic.

I dinged 21 this morning. But I have yet to find a guild that does planar raids and is willing to take me.
