Favorite off-beat leveling locations?

vznos · #1 07-10-2011, 10:36 PM

When I initially played on VZ, I was too innocent to do anything but wander around and try not to die. But when I re-rolled on SZ, I'd been to the top and back and started down a more "optimal" path with my Warrior. No more leveling in Permafrost or on Aviaks, straight to Ro, UR, LOIO, DL, MM, etc.

Now that I'm back in Norrath, and since I'm duoing with a friend in a decent combo (Shaman + Warrior), I'm trying to remember some of the good old spots, for various level ranges... Lake Rathetear, Everfrost at Redwind, etc.

What are some of your favorite off-the-beaten-path leveling spots? For selfish reasons, I hope to see some suggestions that aren't only for kiters but might work for my duo too~. This guide is nice, but I can't really recall which zones actually had decent camp spots and which were only survivable for a given level: http://wiki.project1999.org/index.ph...s_and_ZEM_List

Unrest is super awesome

For what level ranges?

When I started here, I did my usual Orc Hill and Crushbone, then those middling level 11-12, I went to Butcherblock and did the Chess board (no one goes there) and the related Orc camps and goblins, which are hard to break due to orc oracles.

Around 20 I went to Overthere and that is silly/excellent xp and cash. Seriously, 2-3% xp per mob, reasonably safe, vendor, etc. Why would I leave?

I bring that up because some have (accurately) stated 'no one hunts in hard low level dungeons'. Why would I risk it?

By far my fav is the giant fort in fronteir mountains...its not so off beat I guess but good place 4shore. Safest place is in the back of the fort imo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lfay is always dead but there always seems to be someone camping the sisters. Even on off-peak, when I'm normally on.

WW giants are awesome, easily my favourite solo spot for the 20s. And the chance of that ever-elusive Forest Loop makes it all the more exciting.

Skellies in front of Kaladim, turn in the bonechips at the Paladins inside the city.

Southwest quarter of Nektulos.

Damn near anything in Butcherblock.

Just outside Dalnir.

Mistmoore.

splitpaw from 29+, currently soloing 6 single gnolls in a safe kill spot for about 2% xp per kill, on a 22min timer so i can be semi afk haha..

WK Scarecrows i leveled from like 18-23 or something silly, i got quite a few levels off them, even light blue cons

Here are some areas in which I have hunted.. (sorry in advance for it being poorly organized.. I'll come back to clean it up later)
I did blackburrow until around 12 via the Gnoll fang quest.
Wisp Island (Erud's Crossing) from 12 - 16? Saved the GLS and did a turn-in to the gypsie in North Karana (and sold the book you get)
West Karana scarecrows from 14 - 17 (did these for their solo-ability with my necro)
Befallen from 12 up to about 18
Unrest 14 - 30 (yard trash first, then to pulling to wall in the back, then to Main Room, then to Fireplace, then to basement)
SolA low 20's to 32 Mainly on the non-castle side.. so foreman, predator, singe areas..
Upper Guk in my low to mid 20's
Cazic Thule I think from 20 on up to about 40? I've grouped here only a few times in my 30's.
Mistmoore - 20ish starting out front. at around low 30's doing the Castle Entrance, Grave Yard or Pit.
SolB 35 + Starting in the window room and royals..
Lower Guk (haven't done a whole lot here yet.. mainly the Assassin / Supplier camp when I've been here. Started here in my mid to upper 30's.

I have avoided the grind-fest places like South Karana, LOIO, Overthere, DreadLands. I did those on live back in the day and it gets old very quickly. I prefer the challenges and risks in the dungeons.
