Newbie hotspots

[Jaydee82]

I'm rerolling with a friend and we could use some help with finding where people like to group nowadays. We just ran to Unrest but it seems like this zone may be inactive for our level. I understand that this is the blue server and a good chunk of the server has already leveled up, and green has been absorbing some of the people wanting to level up. For us bluebies, where do we go?

I’m at level 15 now. Got there in Crushbone. Grouped half the time. So... it’s possible to find one there.

At level 15 Sisters Bandits (Lesser Faydark) are perfect. Good platina. The best at that level and many later. You will wish to be the only one for these. But likely you will probably see someone already camping them.

Also, did you get yourself 8 slot, 10% weight reduction, giant size(!) bags? You can start camping bag holder at lvl 12 or 13. Kithinor Forrest. See more bellow (they also sell for 70-100 platina each), but not sure what the demand for them is on Blue.

At night, this area gets dangerous, but if you stay on the wall, you will be safe. Spiders are placeholders for Shralock. When he spawns (about every half hour or so) you get your Shralock Pack. So drop is 100%. Spiders spawn around every 6 1/2 minute.

That's really more for soloing/duoing/trioing. For full grouping there's:

... but it's not nearly as complete (please feel free to edit it and add spots!)

The lower end dungeons are less crowded then they were when Green launched. With the changes made to ZEM I've found outdoor zones to be a lot more populated than they used to be. Might be worth doing a /who all on oasis and the Karanas and sending some tells to get an idea of whether people in your level range are grouping there.

[Machone]

Theres a column for grp and solo ;) muahaha

This is true, but it really depends on the spot. Many of the spots there don't have enough for more than two or three people, so that's the group it refers to.

Here’s what I have done so far and the exp has been fantastic:

I stayed in these zones until mobs started turning green:
Crushbone
Oasis
Unrest
Najena (entire back area where widowmistress is)
Solusek Eye (goblin tunnels first then keep area)

This got me to 38 in a heartbeat and the zones were pretty fun. Grouping will be hard to find in najena and solusek, but if you can get a partner, the zem exp is worth it

That’s helpful so far. I guess what we need to know is where are all the lowbies NOW. I’m headed to oasis to check it out. What about The Gorge of King Xorbb? Does anyone go there still? It seems like a pretty good setup. Druid ring nearby, town nearby, easy to pull to zone, high ZEM (right?). Between that and runny eye you could be set for awhile.

[Jukken]

I did this:
Crushbone - Unrest - Paw - City of Mist.

Pretty smooth run group wise.

My advice going forward is to check where the clerics in your level range are. Since clerics rarely solo you might expect there to be some grouping action in the vicinity.

Typo; 25% weight reduction

I’d suggest playing two classes that duo very well together and not relying on others. Few that come to mind is monk/shaman, cleric/enchanter, druid/Necro, SK/shaman or basically any class with shaman or chanter.

Wow, this is so obvious but it never occurred to me to do that! I will be doing that, effective immediately!
