best leveling progression areas

[sugam49]

it has been a long time, and i am not sure whats best yet, but this is my idea for a level route

7-10 outside Crushbone
10-15 Estate of Unrest (outside) or Befallen
15-20 Befallen (first floor)
21-24 Estate of Unrest (fireplace or basement)
24-30 Lake of Ill Omen (north of windmill)
29-32 Mistmoore Castle (Graveyard)
32-39 Estate of Unrest (Festering hag room)
37-41 Overthere
41+ Deadlands

let me know what you think, and what areas might i want to look at?

If you are looking at soloing, Najena offers a decent number of dark blue solo or two pulls into the mid 30s if you stick to the various types of skeletons and ogres. Plus it is nearby to SolA, which is also decent xp/loot if you can find a group. Neriak or gypsies close by to use for vendoring/banking.

[sugam49]

thank you i will keep a eye on it.

Wanted to see unrest and overthere and saw them, so I agree.

east karana and south karana are also pretty good and much lower population

Najena is great, the only downside is there really only is room for 1 person in that range. Although I'm not sure it would last you into the mid 30s, but definitely up to level 30.

I always do

Befallen 5-12 (first floor)
Unrest 12-20 (courtyard)
Upper Guk 20-35 (progressing through different camps)
Befallen 35-40 (Hag tower)
Lower Guk 40-45 (Bedroom)
Lower Guk 45-51 (Safehall)
Hole 51-54 (entrance elementals)
Karnor's Castle 54-56 (I like to duo captain)
Sebilis 56-60

I like to stay in dungeons for the best ZEM and the most risk/fun. I haven't touched Overthere or any other outdoor zone once on this sever for leveling

Turn in quests 1-10
Befallen 10-20
SolA 20-40
SolB 40-55
Howling Stones 55-60

If you're talking EFFICIENCY - then the best path is the one with the least amount of effort/distance/chance of "camps" being taken.

Travel less, look less, explore less, fight mobs more

Also Najena was mentioned a few times - in my experience Najena has too many casters that make things not fun. Specifically damage shields on the goblins are a fucking nightmare

For fast early level progression I like:

1-5: Everfrost or Qeynos
6-8: Gnolls outside blackburrow (Save up gnoll fangs)
8-12: Blackburrow (Save gnoll fangs)
Turn in all saved up gnoll fangs for massive exp and quite possibly 3+ levels.
After that hunt bandits in West Karana for experience and bandit sash turn in quest or hunt Wisps in Erud's Crossing or Qeynos hills for Lightstone turn in quest in North Karana.

I just did the ogre newbie route with an untwinked shaman. Instead of leaving Feerrott for Befallen or Blackburrow, like my characters usually do, I stayed and leveled there until 5, then moved to Innothule and killed frogs until 8, then went inside Upper Guk and was basically there until 24.

This was pretty much the fastest I have leveled up any character, with a minimal of effort. The ZEM for Upper Guk is insane and there's always frogs to kill, and the towns are one or two zones away (I had to go back to Oggok sometimes because troll shamans don't like ogre shamans). I don't think I will ever do another leveling path for an evil character again. I might leave Upper Guk for good in my 30s, but I'm gonna milk it until then. (My enchanter had great success doing ton knights down there as well from 24-30.)

Good variety in your approach ^^ For speedy constant group action I follow the golden path ^^:

3-14ish - CB
14ish - 30 Unrest
20-45ish Mistmoore
45-51ish CoM
51ish-60 KC

Najena is not bad if you stick to things that aren't magicians or necromancers. If you are killing mobs fast you won't have enough mobs though.

[sugam49]

these all sound fun. i just want to go EVERYWERE now!!! thanks for all the help. keep them coming if you have any ideas

[Metalopolis]

Splitpaw for the 30-40 range. Needs a group of decent players for sure. It's a fun zone and its also challenging - and as such, I rarely see more than one group in there!
