It's possible to ding 60 on a cleric without grouping it just takes 250% longer than it would quadding with a wizard or 300% longer than charming or kiting on with a necro or ench.
Because you can kill dark blues all the way up.
Got my Bertoxxulous cleric up to 35, hell is so bad, not fighting in the most efficient place right now.
ToFS should get you into your 40s or unrest easily. Specs will get you to 50. Then go to CoM stables and use lull to break and pull a few undead mobs there, that'll get u to 55. You can also kill both the undead and living mobs outside CoM in EJ prettty easily, you'll burn 50% mana on the roaming undead and 75% on the living mobs. Gate to a safe spot and pray you don't get trained.
The rest is just a slugfest.
As far as Aegis, faction took me like 3 days randomly turning in rib bones and bone chips to level up. I think it takes longer to get Lord Grimrot to spawn and drop the quest turn ins. I think I'm Ally now with Knights of the Thunder (and still Ironically only dubious to my own guild down under). I wish there was a way to be ally to both lol.
Yeah this is my 2x reply....
Also remember u can farm lower lvls zones, like runneyeye, sola, warrens, etc with your AoEs to some extent if you have solid AC and back yourself up into a wall and don't get greedy with too many mobs. Cleric's can easily camp impskin gloves for 5K a pop+sell FS tot he gnomes. And we have access to paineel with a little effort

HG's been nerfed to oblivion and back, so ppl only make money farming gear it looks like now-a-days.
Good reasons to play cleric >>> so you can help other players. Or convince them and train them to be your minions
