Where to exp? Enchanter lvl 51 to 60

[busted]

I'm looking for some places to solo (or group) to exp to 60.

Where would you recommend?

Follow up question: Where can I make some cash along the way? (I'm wearing some freakin cloth still.)

p.s. I want to avoid KC to avoid ruining OT faction for banking there.

Many thanks for the help!

[waltjig]

screw OT outpost faction. Howling Stones all day. Did 52-60 solo on my enchanter and it was the most fun iv ever had in EQ. I still basically live in HS when i log on

[P99Enchanter]

Yeah you can still bank in OT when KOS. Just click through the wall from outside. HS is your best friend as a chanter. And it trashes OT faction faster than KC does. Sooooooo worth it though, every other place sucks compared to HS, and some of the drops in there will get you some monies.

[Izmael]

HS 52-60 sounds a little extreme, you'd probably get bored of the zone before you hit 60, and this is WHERE you wanna hit 60 as it's hands down best exp at 59 - west wing that is.

I'd say CoM to like 54, then maybe a little Seb and definitely HS from about 56 to 60.

Chardok is not bad exp at 55+, in a duo. Just stick to the zone-in / zone-out route and it's all right. Faction concern as well, however.

The Hole is all fine and dandy but you'll ruin that faction that can't be raised.

Just stay bound in another city and hammer back. Mallet is easy for enchanter to get.

[mickmoranis]

for HS a good trick is to bind where you like, hammer to OT and then place hammer in bank, so when you die in HS you can just hammer back easily but you can also gate to sell/buy and bank etc (ot prices are blue state prices AKA way to high)

The Hole entrance is great xp til 54. It can be a bit of a pain lulling all the mobs apart but once you get going it's cake. Just make sure to max your swimming out so you can zone out when lull critical resists. With all the loam and gem drops you can make some good plat as well.

[mickmoranis]

I would seccond the hole.. its better for lower 50's and it will help you not get sick of HS for the higher 60's

I always miss the hole window.. go there, and see the ent is all green and then say fuck it and go back to HS... get that hole ent while the gettings good!

[ZiggyTheMuss]

When would be a good level for a cleric/chanter duo to hit up velks?

[mickmoranis]

velks is pretty easy to get around in, you can get to 60 on spiders behind the kolbolds so, whatever the ent mobs con well at, like 45+ and just go deeper in as you progress. by 54 you should be camped at the back of kolbolds and gearing up to start pulling spiders, Id wager.

[Izmael]

If you are referring to the spiders past the lower dogs camp, each of them can probably wipe a full group of lvl 54 enchanters.

I dont see what other spiders "behind the kobolds" there are in velk.

Velk is pretty terrible exp in my opinion, especially as a solo enc. Stuff takes so long to die, you kill slowly (and more charm breaks during an average fight).

[mickmoranis]

The ones in the brood area, and no if you are a full group of 54 enchanters and getting wiped then you are a group of 6 idiots.

the brood spiders are behind the dogs, idk what you mean by lower but the brood camp goes through the dogs through that big giant aparatis thing behind the invisible wall you slide through and fall down, then go zig zag up corridors to the right through the cuckolds (auto correct changed kolbold to cuckhold so eh, why not leave it up) up until the brood area.. there are a few named cuckolds spawns along the way you can pull to as well while killing brood spiders.

I parsed out xp gains from velks at the brood area to be equal really to any other spot.

Its also very easy chill xp, especially if you bind outside. You can use alliance to get through as a chanter and bind out side, you can lull pull broods all day and gate out to sow, run back in to pull..

Seriously its ez mode all the way to 60 and its not terrible xp and you get gems and stuff which sell, at least they used to. '

Also lastly, the maze area where you pull from is like the hotel in that movie the shining.. its fucking creepy as fuck so its a fun place to pull, and with lull a chanter can be a fine main puller.

(also you should be bringing -mr gear and pets never break there)

[Izmael]

Yes, we're talking about the same area.

Maybe a full group of 54 encs can do this area, I said that mainly as a joke.

A single 54 enc successfully doing the Brood Mother/Master area though... I'd pay to see that.

Have you done that yourself ?

[Izmael]

I suppose you guys are just really good, I see level 60 enchanter corpses littering this place all over.

[mickmoranis]

well, on the bright side. If you take izmaels word for it and still want to try it based off mine and jeffs, youll be so scared of dying that the "The Shining" movie effect will kick in two fold and youll be super creeped out and more immersed than youve ever been.

There's also all these weird LOST style anomalies back there.. like your running your running YOUR SWIMMING YOUR SWIMMING your running your running.. and your like wtf just happened?!

[Rummol]

Its also very easy chill xp, especially if you bind outside. You can use alliance to get through as a chanter and bind out side, you can lull pull broods all day and gate out to sow, run back in to pull..

I have a 57 enchanter and am interested in this. I have tried to use Boon of the Garou as suggested by others to become non-KOS but it doesn't seem to work for me. Not sure how Alliance would take me from KOS to dubious either.

So, if I am hearing you correctly, you can alliance mobs and become non-KOS and run to brood spider area unmolested??

[Rimjobs]

use illusion werewolf not boon. last like 5x longer. and i believe u have to use collaboration with the werewolf form to become dubious to the zone. I am not 100% on that, but that is what i heard

[Izmael]

Werewolf form + collaboration, and never ever take a faction hit from Lord Bob or Velketor the Sorcerer.

If I see a 54 enc do the BM camp for exp reliably, by that I mean clear at least both rooms where BM can spawn and the room where the brood master can spawn, total 9 mobs... that enc will be my hero forever.

[mickmoranis]

if you're soloing for xp up there you wouldnt be clearing all the mobs, no way, but you would make steady gains. So yea, Id agree, the one you describe would be a hero.

yea like homeboy says above me garou+alliance.

Also is nice cus if you're duo'ing with a cleric down there, you can drag ppl to you from the ent and rez em real easy to get them to join your party.

[Izmael]

9 mobs is hardly every mob there, I think it's 17 total mobs if my memory is correct.

Just breaking the damn thing as a 54 enc is gonna be tough. But hey - what do I know. :p

everything in there is lullable, so as long as you dont get the crit resist on the first lull of a group of spiders, you're fine.

[Izmael]

Still waiting on a video of 54 enc exping in there ;)

Back to the original question:

Burning woods with a hasted Slixin Klex pet (quads for 140). Take him to the giant fort to wreck havok. 8 spawns there with a 6.5 minute respawn. Enough time to kill all 8 and then blur heal him to full. If charm breaks in a bad spot, use jboots to buy time to mez/re-charm if needed.

Make a macro to make recharming easy:
/target Slixin
/stand
/cast mez

Lastly, since Slixin is doing 100% of damage, you may as well bring a friend to split the XP instead of letting Slixin take half. I like to group with the lowest level partner which I can share XP with (level 34 if you're 51). With that kind of level difference you'll end up getting 70%+ of the XP. You're partner will still be getting insane XP resulting in about a level an hour and can AFK the whole time.

As far as cash goes, you can make about 500pp an hour at the giant fort vendoring everything. Make sure to have WR bags though since giant loot is heavy.

Th is is a great plan but also add a 1k per level price to join for the afk'er and make even more plat.

Best spot easily would be kedge mermaids for 50-58.

Only downside is that it's actually become a bit popular lately so you may find them camped already.

Tons of gem loot, low hp, can weaponize your pet, they're casters so can ToT them all day.
