Give me hope
 

So, I hit 35 the other day on my mage, and I went to OT to group. I was instantly reminded how horrendously slow the exp is here. Can anyone give me some hope, because I want to give up....

Hope is the first step on the path to disappointment.

I had better luck getting to 40 in MM.

Late 30s can be annoying. Mistmoore Castle ent/Castle or Solb for groups. I usually do 40>50 in SolB. nice and easy and good money

Get out of those awful outdoor low zem low challenge low skill level bards everywhere zones.

I'd go to LGuk personally. But there are more groups in MM.

Lguk!!

Don't forget 35 is a hell level so the xp may seem particularly slow but 36 will fly by in comparison.

I did 40-50 in SolB in a day.

Go to Lavastorm headed for SolB Royals.

/tell xxx Hey bud, fancy solb royals?

Minimum is typically tank/chanter/cleric but have done it with 4 dps / tank / cleric.

Form at zone in, head in together, camp champion room, get 2 levels in 5 hours ( I did 35 in about 3 hours, 36 in 2 hours), done.

My cleric did 34-40 there in a few days and I play very very part time.

Make your own luck dewd! Persist!

... and I dont wanna hear "but im a mage" - I did the same tactic with a 36 ranger.

PS, avoid MM like the plague unless majorly twinked soloing and/or being PLed - simply aren't enough mobs to sustain the bloodlust.

30+ is just boring, everquest 4 life
