Where to go as 19 iksar necro?

[Kich867]

Honestly having trouble finding a good place to be. I left kunark, I could get a ride back there I suppose, but just finding myself bored of Kurn's.

Where's a decent place to go at this point?

[Menobank]

do the bard diet

[Gozuk]

Generic answer here but the Deepwater crocs in Oasis would still be great exp for the next level or 2. There's really no loot in it at all though so keep that in mind

[Baler]

Oasis crocs or Upper Guk

[Canelek]

If you thought Kurns was boring (it is indeed), stay away from the ‘bard diet’. That is the most incredibly mind-numbing thing you could ever do.

19... you are perfect for Upper Guk. Make your way to the Squire area for excellent exp. careful of the shaman deeper in. I’d stick around squire. There will be enough even and blue cons to be worthwhile and help you learn what can be a very difficult dungeon if you are unprepared.

Also, there are usually people LfG. Do that for fun and camps that will be too much for a solo 19 Necro.

You can also go to unrest at that level for MR camp action.

Solo stuff is well-documented.

Bind outside, of course.

I leveled in LoiO from 19 to 30. Saw necros soloing in the zone and partnered with one of them several times. Most people are soloing here but if you send tells to other players you'd be surprised how many people will be willing to group if you ask them.

Thanks everyone--one thing I'm wondering a little bit, as I'm mostly used to fear kiting and I don't think I can do that here...what's the strategy for killing in close quarters? Do I just DoT up and toss pet and tank it?

You are reaching the last few levels where tanking is viable. Dmg shield helps here. But, if you can get single mobs, dots, pet and pet heals will work.

And you have FD!

Two minute respawn, can drop FS and an easy solo camp until level 24 or so.

[Bakuryu13]

You can also do OT near the WW zl, when i went through on my 19 necro there was a lot of blue and white cons and its tons of open area.

[Canelek]

Ah yes, hermit is great to get though a couple awkward 20-24-ish levels. Not the best, but certainly solid and you make a few bucks.

THIS is how you handle UGuk with fear kiting. It's what I did at exactly your level. Good luck once you leave there though. Haven't found a sweet spot for 24+.

Still the go-to for all things necro related.

[Crawdad]

Kunark is a goldmine compared to the old world for 1-30. 19-29 in Warsliks woods, giant fort. Lots of spots to group up or to solo. If you're lucky you'll make plenty of plat too.

If you really want to stay in the old world, though, either Oasis for crocs and/or orc groups, or gargoyles in OoT. Gargoyles will get you more plat, while orcs will get you levels faster.

Once you out grow either of these you'll be in the level range where you can hunt guards at your leisure until the 50s.

More like to lvl 27, after 24 you can kill him as soon as he respawns (2-3 minutes). Loot is allright too since he often drops fine steel.

[krilla]

I lurked around WW and LOIO around then. And then OT after that. Outdoors is where it's at so you can fear kite. Duos and trios are extremely good XP in those outdoor zones with a good necro (you).

Just an update as I'm currently leveling a shaman there. The exp is good till lvl 26, then it slows down. It's still okay, but up to 26 it was like 2x better. So recommended lvl 20-26, then move on.

[Kich867]

I ended up finding a nice spot in WW, #7 on the map, to go from 19-20. It's 3 goblins in a small hut, all single pullable, no roamers.

This seems like a great place to go ~16-20, the Aggressors can be a problem though.

I then went back to Kurns and solo'd second floor to 21, it's really easy, Expulse Undead is a massive help. The Undead Crusader dropping FS Maces was a nice little money boost. My only issue is that, I haven't seen Kurns that empty since, there's often people being power leveled there which makes soloing kinda hard.

My other fear is getting a port out to South Karana only to have that hermit or the aviak guards in lake rathe camped constantly.

[Pope Hat]

Aviaks in lake rathe are not super camped, I recently did 22-27 (I think) at them and most of the time I was the only one in the zone. There are also 3 camps of them.

As a iksar necro I stayed in lake of ill omen until level 24 then go to the giant fort in warlords warslick woods till 30. That's what you do.

Or go get stuck in uguk with no where to bank.

[hungrybread]

Lake of Ill Omen and Warsilik's Woods should have good options. Close to Cab for banking / selling also.

Poor guy :(

He just wants to leave alone and away from everything ...

Guess I will have to pay him a visit tho ... he might want to need to hear the word of Karana.;)

Goblins and outcast Iksar in Northeast corner of Warslicks Woods.

I'm a little late to this thread, and several have already suggested Sesserdrix's (great) guide ... but if you're instead looking to "chart your own course" then I recommend checking out the Per-Level Hunting Guide (link in my signature), or if you want to earn plat the Treasure Hunting Guide. Both aren't so much "go here, then go there"-style guides; instead they're both just giant lists of potential places to solo.
