lvling zones that peeps follow to lvl up

[bakkily]

so what is the direction of zones people go to lvl? like what are the popular zones for lvling/grouping from lvl 10-60?

[Jibartik]

I hate to say it but everywhere I go 10-16/18 that isnt oasis, always ends up being the oasis after I decide I just want to get through my teens asap.

But then Mistmoor/solA to 36, SolB to 60.

[Tunabros]

newbie zone -> GUK -> raiding =)

[Zipity]

5-18 CB
18-31 Perma
31-45 CT/kaesora
46-60 Hole

This is the gravy train for fast exp.

I spent most of my time on Faydwer so

Gfay to Butcher to Orc Hill to Chessboard / Crushbone to Unrest and well I soloed in unrest till like level 40 then did feerrot specters then lguk most recently. I never end up spending much time in Mistmoor.

There are a ton of great leveling paths. On live PVP I spend basically the high teens to the 30's in the Karanas which is a beautiful big place to enjoy the game. When Velious came out I soloed cougars in iceclad with panic animal on my ranger and was going to do some bigger beasts in great divide. I did a lot of soloing in isolated places on Rallos Zek in order to avoid getting murdered. I soloed Sirens in ocean of tears which is scary because if you do get in a fight its going to be a bad place to die but most murderers weren't patrolling lonely spikey islands in the middle of no where.

On live non PVP I did the above route but hit frontier mountains in the 30's then dreadlands in the 40's and never went into Karnor's which would have been the next step during the kunark time period.

This is my hyper detailed one:

I like 1-5 newbie zone, get full inventory with leatherworking and a scimitar and shield or whatever.

5-10 or so in Befallen, because that's like 45 minuets of grinding.

10-16 Oasis or West Karana bandits. Enchanter always oasis, because charming crocks is the easiest thing ever.

16-20 Unrest/Mistmoore

20-36 Mistmoore/sola/perma depending if I want to travel, or just grind, if just grind its best to stay in MM imo

36-44 Sol B

44-49 Guk (get some lewts and its easy grinding at that level)

50+ solB/Kunark

https://wiki.project1999.com/Group_Hunting_Spots is meant to answer this question, but it's a bit of a work in progress at the moment. If anyone feels motivated to improve it, please do so (it's a wiki!) :)

For some nice quiet, afk between a couple mobs exp, i've been chilling out in Qenos catacombs.

I've literally never seen one person leveling in Kaesora on this server. Went down there a lot to camp Xalgoz over the course of December and not once in like a dozen sessions was anybody under level 50 ever in the zone.

Guk seems mostly deserted as well, top and bottom. I leveled a character through the 20s recently and never managed to find a group there. Lowbie trolls and someone camping the croc was usually all I saw. Haven't seen much traffic in MM, either.

Unrest is the hotspot for the 20s and maybe 30s. CT has been popular as well for 40ish, there's usually a group on top of the pyramid. I didn't check Permafrost at all, but it's such a hassle to get to that I'd be surprised if it's brimming with groups. DL often has a small group behind Karnor's as well, but it doesn't seem consistent.

There's surprisingly not that much grouping going on, considering the population breaks 1.2k every evening. Most people are probably still getting their mains to 60.

Depends on the class really. Druids and wizards will want to quad kite... enchanters will want to solo in high ZEM dungeons... melee and healers will want high group activity zones.

You also have to consider zones with quests that give big boosts to exp as you're killing mobs. North karana lightstones, Crushbone belts, gnoll scrolls, etc.

I'm grinding out 50 as quick as I can on my monk. he's highly twinked and I go to the quickest exp zones I know... this has been my path so far:

1-15 Befallen (w/ a brazier of elemental summoning... took like 4-5 hours)
15-20 Kurn's tower (first floor is uber crowded since kunark release obviously, so didn't come here until I could do top floor and basement. knocked out pieces of the shackle quest as well durign this range)
20-30 Runnyeye (this was the first time I've done this zone and it's the quickest exp I've seen. It's definitely important to learn the zone to find the right spots to fight)
30-35 Cazic Thule gators (so easy with a huge ZEM)
I'm 35 right now and doing more CT. I'll probably do most of 35-40 in Splitpaw judges area though. 40-50 is kedge keep sharks territory.

Lots of options really at each of these phases though. This was just my latest route and I was going for quickest exp gain without much option for quests as an iksar.

Interesting feedback it is always a bit of a bummer to not see activity in so many of the zones

Kaesora is cancer for leveling. The ZEM is kinda poop (110) compared to zones of a similar level (130 - 150) and the other zones aren't nearly as difficult to navigate or safely setup camps. I don't think there is any decent loot either. It's just a dog shit zone.

So glad you think this, stay outta my PL spot!

[NPC]

Deathfist belts an Light stones to 17th level
South Karana hermit to 22nd-23rd level
Treants to 39th level
High keep to 55-60

[Keebz]

Follow the ZEM for fastest results

1-12 wherever (CB is technically best but it's out of the way and the levels go fast)
12-24 Gorge of King Xorbb (Kurns also good)
24-46 CT (Can throw some Sol A, Unrest and HHK in there if you want)
46-60 The Hole (nobles in HHK are also solid 46-53 or so. Various guard camps in Neriak, etc. are potentially OK)


A couple notes:
* Outdoor non-dungeon zones are terrible ZEM and should generally be avoided if you're maximizing for speed
* Old world dungeons 46+ are garbage for exp. Yes, lower Guk and Sol b are awful.
* Perma bear pits are theoretically good if you can duo/trio them, but with a 6 man group, it's strictly worse than the hole, but not the absolute worst.
