Less contested and/or well-known Necro levelling spots @lvl 30

[raptorak]

Hi all

I've watched quite a few vids on youtube and read some guides, but I'd like to get some opinions from everyone on good spots for a necromancer to level.

I just got finished 21-30 in Najena which I found to be really uncontested, and the skeletons were great experience if a little easy towards the end.

If possible I'd like to make a bit of cash as well, and I have a preference for dungeon crawling.

Thanks for any input you guys may have.

SolA - Goblins, Fire and Inferno

Once you get a little higher can do King room for Solusek Goblins.

Then onto Gnomes if you are enjoying the place.

SolA - Goblins, Fire and Inferno

I like this option since it is pretty close to where I've been levelling so far and a dungeon to boot.

I don't know how popular they are these days but I enjoyed many levels at the named wood elf sisters in OOT. Granted its not a dungeon but the plat was good on the pair in the hut away from the dock. As you level you can integrate extra ones closer to the dock area.

there is a cafvern off the shore of field of bone that's *all* undead. Except for one odd troll that spawns in there. I forget what it is called exactly. But if you run west along the northern coast youll see a small square pillar sticking out of the water. If you swim to it, you'll see it marks the opening of said cavern. Its a short swim from the surface to the opening. And most people don't seem to know of it.

[raptorak]

Thanks swish and zero both nice suggestions, gonna try the cave as I forgot a spell back in Cab. I've heard the sisters are a bit more camped these days probably because the cash is so good and there is a fairly comprehensive levelling guide on YouTube 29-35 necro featuring that very spot.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I've been exploring various resources and guides to enhance my necromancer gameplay, but I would greatly appreciate your input on the best spots for leveling.

I recently completed leve (https://apkinu.com/capcut-mod-apk/)ls 21-30 in Najena, which proved to be an uncontested and rewarding experience, although the difficulty tapered towards the end. I'm keen on finding spots that offer both great experience and the potential to earn some extra in-game currency, with a preference for dungeon crawling.

Pretty obvious this jamssyyy (last poster) is a scammer/bot of some sort. His messages including strange links to strange places.

Frozen Tower! Frozen Tower!

[Vordae]

Highkeep.

[Gustoo]

Highkeep is a good time and a nice side quest part of the old world. Going over the mountain pass to the karanas is always magical to me however many times I do it. Same with rathe mountains and lake rathe and the arena.

There are exp areas all through here in your 30th with the Highkeep gobs being awesome
While feeling more like a level 5 orc hill group experience (aka classic awesome eq)

Wow I never knew of this, which is dumb by me I guess since the entrance is marked on the Wiki map. I just never bothered to look into what was in there. Always crazy to me how I can still find stuff out about this game after all this time.

OP, I think you might be able to get another level or two out of the two Kaladim Citizen faction dwarves on Sister Isle in OOT. No real loot to speak of, but two 6:40 level 25 single spawns, almost never contested that I've seen. Maybe the two tollbooth guards in WC? Sometimes contested and it's well known, but there also aren't that many people leveling there at 30 anymore. The two elves at the Druid ring there are also doable at your level, so there are two different camp options right there in WC.

[Kruel]

ocean of tears - sisters in the hut and or dwarfs in the back on sister island. They drop swords that are 11pp per and there is a vendor on the same island.

I leveled my necro from 29-40ish in Overthere in the zone corner between the SF ramp and Frontier mountains. Pulling stuff to the wall there and fear kiting had pretty convenient pathing that almost never got adds. Aim for berzekers when you see them since the whip turnins at the outpost were beefy xp hits.

This is good advice

Old world = less HP typically per mob = quicker kills = faster gains :)

Is that really true vs Kunark? I always used to think that but feel like I saw mob HP pools in Kunark that weren't that different. Velious on the other hand

Good luck to you! Classic dungeon crawling at its best, Dangerous, but a fun zone to master! I enjoy the feeling of having a goal other than exp.. You are hoping for key drops to get to the next floor, while also looking for loot, all the while getting that sweet exp. Make sure to check out the wiki for the zone!

[strongNpretty]

Also, this far into P99. Fuck the same old shitty grind routes for quicker kills and faster gains...
Go level in new zones, try new things. Off the path zones, different experiences will make you a better player. Utilizing more tools in your classes bag. Or spellbook...

[Swish]

Totally ^^

One of the best features of being a necro is everyone already hates you (particularly if you're an iksar), so everything is on the menu :)

[nom_fats]

If you don’t get from level 1 to 60 exclusively within Erud’s Crossing you’re not cool enough to be my friend.

This is the guy you want to be friends with, Ssips is #1 necro on Green. Be safe out there, Chorts.

[raptorak]

Well, I ended up at bloodgills after completely failing to hit frozen tower. Now I'm level 51, any other recommended places going forward? I'd rather avoid busy or overly camped areas, especially places like various town guards.

[coffin_aoe]

iirc i did my 30s in unrest basement...

Might be able to do Kanthurn and Taia in Lake Rathe for another level or two? There are three barb guards in Everfrost who are sometimes not camped (lvl 45). Freeport guards aren't always camped either.

If you're looking for something a bit more chill, I think you can get another level or two out of killing the 2 skeletons over by the Rotting Skeleton PH in the Dreadlands on the north wall. Two 6:40 spawns (they will pull together, but the third spawn that's the PH for Rotting Skeleton will not). Can kill that third spawn if no one is there killing the Rotting Skel (although sometimes it's green IIRC). Sit to the northeast of the skels and you'll never have to worry about any wandering mobs, fairly safe camp with zonelines nearby. Can also kill other mobs in the Dreadlands too, but bit more dangerous with wanderers etc.

BB Dwarf guards are solid too. Mix of 40s and 45s (NOT the Kaladim gate guards, leave those alone) between the docks and the various huts). Can take a circular route killing I think it's like 12 spawns (or if you can't keep all 12 down just take like the docks and the hut to the east and kill those guys for 3 lvl 45 and one lvl 40 dwarf) and vendor all their weapons at the Druid ring. I did like 51-55 there on an Enchanter when I needed a chill plat camp (54 pretty slow though since some are lvl 40). Note that there are two huts where there is a lvl 50 dwarf inside, but if you pull away before starting to kill he will not aggro (usually only aggros if you like try to root or charm kill the dwarves right next to his hut). There are also two huts that look like there's only one guard outside them but there's another inside it.

Why are you not charming yet?

Cause maybe he doesn't fuckin want to.

This man failed on all 3 servers, hope that helps.

Tbf even if you don't like to charm a lot as an exp method, everyone should try doing it here and there occasionally. It's a good thing to be familiar with, especially if you're planning to try to do some serious solo dungeon diving later on. Much better to kind of learn the mechanics and how things work in general as you're leveling rather than when you're trying to do it in Seb or HS etc.

Cheers to hoping after 13+ years, you've beaten a game called EVERquest on all 3 servers :) You little winner, you. Love you!

Everyone was smoking cigarettes in high school they said. 6 missing teeth later and I'm still on a liquid diet because it hurts to chew with my gums. Don't do it.

Sorry for your loss

[sammoHung]

I know I'm late to the party, but ToFS. Can't recommend highly enough.

Has a great ZEM -- floors 1 and 2 are 100% undead. (level 25-33ish mobs) . Charming works swell on floor 1 specifically.

Floor 3 has some non-undead, but also has lots of undead. By the time you level up to floor 4, Kaesora becomes a really solid option as well though

[Toxigen]

OP is 51. It won't be great XP, but he could break into the charm game by going down to the bottom of Kaesora and camping his HS key piece. Afterwards, take his newly learned methods to CoM floor 2.

Any necro that doesn't charm in HS 54-60 is a shitter. Hope this helps.

[Fammaden]

I avoided charming til early 50's and then learned on CoM second and moved to HS with what I learned. Root rotting in the 50's is miserably slow and lame.

I get that people are scared to leave their comfort zone but its so incredibly fun, powerful, and great xp you're really only depriving yourself for no reason. Bit of a learning curve and planning around deaths involved, but its more than worth the effort in the long run.

[Toxigen]

CoM 2nd is pretty chill too. Bind on top of the arena and you have ez pz corpse recovery / "oh shit" reset.

[raptorak]

Yeh definitely going to do some charm stuff, my other character is a 54 enc on blue but stopped playing it about 10 years back so forgot most of the camps. Appreciate all the suggestions seems I ought to check out CoM first also quite keen on Kaesora.

kaesora wont be xp at 54 but if you need a HS key you're headed there anyway

I'm currently just dinged 51 trying to buy splurt in EC before heading out to kunark again so hopefully still in range for exp and as you said, I'll need that key.

Yeah key is great, HS is pretty clutch once youve got enough levels to get a pretty consistent lull to land (usually around level 54).

Until 54, CoM is excellent. I didn't even do much of 2nd floor on Necro, as the interior of temple is lots of undead and some higher level spawns over that way. and very easy, no roamers to worry about etc.
