Leveling guide for exclusively grouping

[thecrazedgoblin1]

Hey guys I'm leveling a warrior and wanted to level in groups. Any advice on areas that grouping is most popular. Preferably that allow fast pulls if tank is good. I normally do crushbone than unrest but I'm a dark elf (cosmetic choice obviously) so cb isn't a choice due to destroying dark elf warrior faction. Just hit level 10. I appreciate any advice.

Field of Bone till 12ish
Kurns Tower 19-20ish
20-29/30 MM Pond, 30-40/45 MM Castle Ent
30-40 Frontier Mountain Giant Fort
40-50 City of Mist
50-60 Karnors/Velks (velks horrid exp but something to do)

My advice would be stick to crushbone. Blackburrow is a good alternative however.. Then instead of unrest consider doing the Crocs in Oasis at level 14. Always groups there. Sol A perhaps instead of mistmoore. Upper guk is good for groups if you're not worried about hurting good frog faction. Once those zones green out you can do city of mist. From there is Karnor's castle.
Keep in mind there are other zones but these ones will always have lots of groups during prime time

That, but i always do unrest after leveling to 20 in kurn's tower, and MM once you are 30.
And for the love of god don't stay in KC all the way to 60, just get your Old seb key and move there at 55. From 55 KC xp starts to get painfuly slow unless you can always get a basement group. Velks is not even worth it unless you just want to farm some plat or get velious quest armor gems, but the xp is pretty terrible.

For pick up groups, pretty much just follow what was mentioned already. But if you don't mind forming your own group/duo/trio then Uguk for 15-25, Sol A for 25-35, Sol B for 35-55 and Chardok for 55-60 are all great alternatives.

Just curious why is Velks considered so bad? I remember spending a lot of levels in velks (i even dinged 60 there all the way at the top I think)

If I had to quess, velious mobs probably have more HP (and/or resists/ac) on average than their kunark/old world equivalents (relative to their level)

I don't know though, I haven't XP'd in ages.

I do know kael mobs regen like a mofo.

exp is bad, the mobs have more HP and hit harder than kunark mobs of same level.

Makes sense

Yeah Velious tends to have better loot and worse XP, stick to old world and Kunark for xp - see the guide below for more ideas on places to level in groups -- Mg
