Single zone 1-60 challenge

[druidbob]

Been doing ssf runs lately and have enjoyed the challenge, but I crave something different. So I am going to try a challenge so tedious and absurd that I doubt few have attempted, leveling a toon from 1-60 in a single zone.

The zone: Rathe Mountains, one of my favorite outdoor zones from classic, has what I believe to be the best spread of mob levels of any zone in the game.

The class: necromancer , I expect fear kiting to be about 90% or my xp with perhaps some undead charming at appropriate levels, not gear dependant which is a big plus, troll merchants will allow me to unload vendor trash.

Twinking?: only twinking will be level 1 spells and some bonechips, otherwise naked. Gear can be bought in EC, but only with funds earned while XPing.

The rules: can only leave zone to hit the tunnel or purchase spells, all xp must be done in zone.

Wish me luck, this will probably take forever with several breaks for my sanity. Will keep you posted if anyone is interested.

Great idea! I like to do something with Everfrost (I sometimes roll in Blackburrow and/or Permafrost too) with disposable barbarians... they tend to peter out about 30, even though that is prime mammoth hunting season.

Do keep us updated?

Awhile back I started working on (but never finished) a project to find accurate P99 ZEMs. As part of it, I did a lot of research to try and find the zone with the best level spread.

It looks like South Qeynos might have the best spread (or Freeport if you count all it's zones as one). If you're curious you can see all my research here: https://wiki.project1999.com/Zone_Zero

One bit that might interest you is that at the end I put some code you can use to see the levels in a zone. If I wasn't on my phone, I could use it right now on Rathe Mountains ... but since I am, I'll leave it up to you.

Regardless, good luck on the challenge!

this sounds awful

[TheBlob]

Not a single zone, and the first levels might be rough, but a guildie once talked about the "5-60 Troll Shaman Guk challenge". I looked and saw some level 1 mobs, but it might be impossible to pull them solo.

A dungeon makes it very interesting imo, with gear to camp.

[Cecily]

I don't get the appeal of wasting your life on a low QoL server for a low QoL game with extra rules to remove the QoL that exists. Life is probably too good for you and you need to feel some sense of strife, and don't care if it's artificial I would guess. Think I've heard that's why other people take up jogging.

[WarpathEQ]

Good luck on the challenge! Definitely didn't expect Rathe Mountains to be the zone, my immediate thought was Guk but yeah can't really start in Lguk and can't really hit 60 in Uguk I don't think.

Closest I ever came was the very first toon I ever rolled back in 99 - Barbarian Shaman. Don't think I ever gained exp on him outside of everfrost but ultimately quit the toon in his mid 30s to try out other options, which I quickly learned that what I did was about the worst possible QoL experience I could have had starting out fresh on EQ. But there is something so authentic about the world being so big and scary back then and not considering leaving my home when there was still technically opportunity to advance there.

How's about, single environment only. Ice zones. Volcanic zones. Water zones with the inclusion of zones with water but xp must be earned while submerged. Pick one and run/swim with it. Or play only at night as a hum/bar/eru without so much as a torch to guide thy way.

I'd love to see a night watchman's guild again. Core memory unlocked.

Surprised no one mentioned Lake of Ill Omen yet, it seems like the obvious choice.

This list is missing the mid 30s fish. Barracudas I think.

This list is missing the mid 30s fish. Barracudas I think.

Shoot, I made the script to focus on fixed-level mobs (because I was trying to find good mobs to calculate a ZEM from), so it's skipping mobs like the Barracudas that have variable levels (in their case, 34-38).

I'll work on a fix for the script and repost the results.

I said Kith as a joke but it's got a good spread

Most interesting! But Loramin, I think you've mixed up North and South Qeynos. Themobs on that list are all North Qeynos mobs. Also, the list is missing the most famous one: Fippy Darkpaw.

Ok, I've fixed the script to include mobs with a range of levels, and to exclude mobs that are merchants. Anyone can run the script themselves on any zone in the wiki (instructions can be found at https://wiki.project1999.com/Zone_Zero#Methodology ... you want the "alternate version").

With the new script, here are ...

Guard Kyte was funny way back when.

Ok, I've fixed the script to include mobs with a range of levels, and to exclude mobs that are merchants. Anyone can run the script themselves on any zone in the wiki (instructions can be found at https://wiki.project1999.com/Zone_Zero#Methodology ... you want the "alternate version").

Hey sorry to be a pest, but I found there is more than one of type of merchant on the Wiki.

Your script properly excluded Tubal Weaver (https://wiki.project1999.com/Tubal_Weaver) who is marked Merchant(With a little color!) but didn't catch others marked Shopkeeper (https://wiki.project1999.com/A_clockwork_merchant) Shopkeeper (https://wiki.project1999.com/Starn_Bearjumper)

The Kloks appear to be listed as Shopkeepers so that's probably OK.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are marked Vendor.

Karam Dragonforge in Rathe Mountains is also a Level 45 Shopkeeper (https://wiki.project1999.com/Karam_Dragonforge) for another example.

[jolanar]

I feel like the surprise here is just how many zones this is actually theoretically capable in.
