Fresh 18 bard, where to go ?

[SewingMachine]

So I hear that Soloing really takes off at 18. I have been practicing, but since i am 18 I really want to hit it hard. Were would be a good place to go. People say go to lake of ill omen but were do you bind >? Because I imagine that i am going to die alot. Any input at all would be great, I have been trying to find a place to rake in that good exp. but cant find any.

Bind at Firiona Vie.

[Teadar]

I startet to swarm in EK....gorge hounds are nice exp, later you can do crag spiders and head to SK than

[Tann]

EK gorge hounds and dark stalkers, heck you can pick up the gnolls as well. Bind at NK gypsy camp. Should take you through 24-25ish.

[Qtip]

East karana to south karana to lake of omen to ot to dreadlands to burningwoods. Around 58 you will want to join a group to 60.

Ot you can start at 24 and do up to 44( some people go further, but too many greens for my me). Then 44- 50 in dreadlands. Then go up to 58 in bw.

OT 24-44 //Sweet lord thats 20 lvls in OT crazy cool.

When I am done with EK Should i gather all the stuff i need then move over to Kunark and just level my ass off there ? Bind in FV and what not.

[MilanderTruewield]

That's what I did :)

I'm struggling with the wolves.. they are pretty fast, are you twisting selos with ddd or am I just bad because it's raining XD

[ezri]

My advice is: goto NRO and practice on spiders first to get your rhythm down - once you can circle the spiders doing AOE damage to them without getting hit/stunned/poisoned move onto larger pray. It'll save you a lot of xp from not dying in the long run.
All the best.

I don't kite wolves/cats because they are fast, it makes it a lot harder to turn them in a tight circle - stick to regular speed critters.

at 18, I went to OT around the mud pit by the WW zone line. I pulled/kite the chickens and catus in the area. I did that till 25, then headed back to LOIO till 30. In LOIO I did skeles from between the wind mill and the FM zone line. Of course you can grab Iksar and goblins as well, I just found it easier to not deal with mobs running.

OT loot, even at 18 is better but being a bard, your best prices after the bags are full is a long run back to FV.

windmill dorf vendor is closer ;)

[MilanderTruewield]

Anyone notice that even when aoe snared, scarabs glitch on top of you? This was before the last hotfixed patch.

[Adcid]

I started Lake of Ill Omen at 18 between the river to FV and the windmill area.
