It took me months, nearly a year I think to go from low 50s to 60 s. I had mained a warrior with no eq experience or funding so he was very weak solo. Once I got evasive things started looking up. I did hours upon hours of sol b efreeti. I learned how to duo efreeti with a bard. I even xped some in lguk because I was desperate for a TBB (I was wearing the skin like rock clicky belt). Holding the supply room was low exp but low time commitment.
I finally got into KC and fucking hated it. Very boring zone. I grouped here a fair amount for a while. Once I got 54 I got my seb key. Whenever possible, I would duo seb mobs with a sham. This was one of my favorites.
Then I learned Bout charasis. I completed my key and started leading groups inside. I probably grouped the most in charasis. It was empty most of the time with some loot and good zem. I led many groups to their death in South.
Life was hell. I started raiding some. Raiding ate a lot of time and xp. I had to avoid raids sometime just to xp. I was still a useless tank anyway.
Sometimes I would get a good haste and regen and I could solo a couple KC drolvargs. This was a lot of fun for me because I would dual wield blood points and momentarily forget how dependent I was upon others for xp.
Pingponging between sol b, KC, seb, and hs worked and I started getting some plat. I spent between 20-30k on Chardok pulls. It was well worth it. Warriors ar very boring due to auto attack and I was sick of grinding. My guild hooked me up with more of the dok xp. At this point I was very addicted to dok xp and would lose sleep some nights if I thought I could get a prized proxy spot that morning.
I finally dinged 60 in HS South.
