Level 59 monk spots

[zelld52]

I've tried just about everywhere, but can't seem to stay put. I've done level 40-58 in Sol B -- LDC has been solid, but its pretty contested and I dont wanna poop sock exp camps. I've also killed thousands of spiders (did 54-58 at LDC so far) and I'm growing weary of the camp.

Sol B Efreeti is meh as a duo, and pretty rough solo, since I don't jhave any dispel clickies for the elementals. Splitting the mobs is also a PITA because theres a bunch of roamers.

I've done Neriak Arena with varying succes. Jacker and Oosa are easy, but their exp kinda sucks (green half the time). The rest of the ogres/trolls can be tough, and I don't win every fight.

Howling Stones North is pretty solid, pretty easy, and pretty fun. But, it's a PITA to get out of OT, even with Dial-ers bound at HH. KoS at the outpost means I don't loot much in HS either, and wind up destroying tons of items / plat.

Velks stinks. The ZEM sucks, and the blizzard hunters cause a bunch of down-time. It's also pretty busy, and I don't wanna take mobs from groups trying to exp.

I've done a bit of Chardok solo too -- but it's too isolated for my liking.

I have done a little Permafrost bear pits solo, which is good exp -- but again so isolated, and takes forever to get there.

PoM rat maze, same problem.

The Hole, I liked the top of Castle Entrance, and it's easy enough to flop down to the Neriak exit if I get bored -- but I get bored very quickly, and find its not even worth the trip to Paineel.

Any other suggestions? I'm probably just gonna stick to Sol B / Neriak Arena, but I'm soooooo bored of grinding lmao. What do?

Is this all the locations?

I have been farming Giant fort in BW for my entire level 59 if you wanted to check out a different camp......But I suspect any camp is going to get boring after a short while

I completely forgot about BW. Where do you for bandages? OT?

Well 59 sucks. Geonids in WL are super easy to get to for grinding out a few % here and there. There are Fallen Erudites at the bottom of the Hole people like, but I'm not a huge fan. Also, you should bring a bag of Crystalized Pumice for Freeti trash, which should make it more doable.

Rat Jail in Hole or Freeti as a duo are best imho. Just set aside some time and grind it out. Or just do cash camps with friends and let the exp come (e.g. Fungi).

OT has an iksar vendor (though greedy) and is a zone away from Cabilis (the city starts in Warslik’s Wood).

Consider spending an hour or so on pottery to get thurg potions if OT is still too remote for you. Or get a couple of wc caps and make your own recharge bot.

Have you tried the upper levels in CoM?

Geodes in Wakening Lands? Maybe there are things in CS you can kill?

Every character of mine has Thurg pots...just so overlooked and so easy!

Anyways....why not try Felwithe or Kelethin guards? The Felwithe guards should be about 50/50 xp or not plus your earning good money and as a monk you can sneak sell and flop bank in Felwithe

Yeah, I have tried these spots -- pretty much all of them. Thanks for refreshing my memory I forgot what the name was (Zentile)

I may try howling stones west, if someone will let me in on Green xD

[Barlu]

I know you said you used Zentiles guide but did you try Rat Jail in the hole? Use some damage shield pots and find the position toward the bottom of the stairs that keeps them from running up the stairs and out into the hallway. All melee mobs think they get as high as lvl 50. Great camp.

2 barbarians at qeynos bank all the way... if youre human

Is Grik the Exile still blue at 59?

[Crede]

Is Grik the Exile still blue at 59?

He's lvl 45 so yea should be. Often camped, and 1 mob every 6 min is pretty brutal xp, especially at 59.

i did a few cycles of Grik on my rogue at 54. never again.

rat jail in hole

you're welcome

I always liked grouping on my monk

… just sayin’

A lot more fun than soloing 2-3 random mobs ad infinitum in some random zone.

Who knows … might make a friend or 3.

Grouping the entire way of 59, no thank you. Especially as a monk. It’s different if it’s a few friends and we can casually crawl through something - but most pick-up groups just want pulls. So many times I’ve not been in camp to sit, chat, roll on loots, etc. because the group wants exp. So while I’m out splitting large rooms and everyone gets to play casually - kind of grinds my gears

I tried this at 57 I think? Was a little rough with runners and the rats that are level 50 and hit very hard. Maybe worth another shot, and I keep seeing it pop up.

Only problem I can see is that I don’t have a paineel key, don’t have faction. And I need bandages lol.

Also, 2-3 mobs wut? I was clearing all of the LDCs in Sol B. Or clearing the boss room of north wing in howling stones. Or the entirety of the castle top in the hole, etc etc.

I’m was referring to some of the suggestions made which were 1-3 mob static camps

Groups tend to expect clusters of mobs these days instead of single pulls. Often the war will end up pulling as 'we need the monk's dps in camp and the war can take a few hits while CC does its thing'! I swear p1999 has gone topsy turvy!

On topic, it is not greatest xp, can't remember if it has been suggested in thread or not, but technically you will make a smidgen of xp while camping rs/ps so if interested n vp key maybe do it now instead of post 60? Won't be fast xp ... lots of non-xp mobs and barely a blue!

Oh I see, yeah I was not interested in qeynos bank or grik in the very least lol

Have you tried going FD afk in a group with a bard swarming in DN in exchange for platinum pieces?

If you don't want to play the game, that's a solid way to get it done.

If I didn’t want to play the game, I wouldn’t play.

But I can’t do the afk swarming because my play time is very limited. Maybe 4 hours a week. I don’t have anyone who can sit at my PC either.

I enjoy soloing for exp. I enjoy grouping for dungeon crawls. I do not like grouping for exp at 59 on a monk for already explained reasons.

[PatChapp]

You don't need anyone to sit at your PC while your afk and a bard swarms around you for what it's worth

Oh? I thought someone had to be present at the PC. Guess I was wrong

[Toxigen]

Sadly, for monk solo at 59 it just may be KC basement. They don't harm touch and they don't run.

I still fucking hate that godamn zone though.

I really hate KC and velks. And that’s where most people want to go xp.

Aye. Best thing to do is find an adventurous shaman duo and go to other places.

The difference between 57 and 59 for rat jail is material. With decent gear you should be able to solo them all even the lvl 50 ones. You will need mend up for them and probably and I always burned damage shield pots. I can’t remember if I did this before the bind wound nerf though or if there was even a good corner for it. The runners you can park with social if you fight towards the bottom of the stairs in the right spot.

If not KC basement is solid as well but like others have said the zone isn’t my favorite.

The hardest part about rat jail is the initial first couple of roamers. Like you said, if you park them close enough by they shouldn't run.

KC basement is definitely way easier, no ifs or buts about it.

I'm also still pretty partial to LDC in Sol B. I can easily keep all 10 dead, and only about 20% are green.. But I've killed so many damn spiders there already. Although I did the same camp for 55-60 on my shaman, I was at least doing 4 mobs at a time =P

Yep. Nothing wrong w/ good ol LDCs. Plus the gypsy vendor in lava is super convenient for bandages.

This place is always a nice change of pace when im getting bored of my regular haunts
