this thread got me thinkin, does EQ have a zone where you could do 1-60 without leaving the zone?

swamp of no hope?

west freeport?

obv you can go to other zones to buy stuff, bank, trade etc.

but could you grind out levels 1 thru 60 in a single zone?

I once heard you could do 1-50 in the Qeynos Sewers.

Not sure if it's true, but it would make an interesting challenge.

Getting to 16 would be pretty smooth. You could get to 19 on ring leaders which are occasional spawns in place of smugglers. But that's when options are limited to a level 17 and level 20 NPCS grouped together. If you have equipment or a class that can take those 2 on, then that can carry you to upper 20's. After that it gets to be an even worse grind as Vin Moltor is your only option and he shares a spawn with other mobs. Could possible level to mid 30's after a year of camping only Vin. So yeah, this is crazier than the dude that soloed a self earned dark elf warrior to level 50.

East commonlands, but pretty mind numbing.

Paineel guards get slow after the mid-late 40s.

I did try some other NPCs after that but wasn't having a lot of luck. Neriak FQ on the other hand...

10 possible zones that I know of, approximately ordered in terms of viability (least viable = certain levels will be big wastes of time with the NPC's available, or outright impossible for some classes when solo and untwinked):

East Freeport
South Qeynos
Lake of Ill Omen
Butcherblock
Swamp of No Hope
Greater Faydark
Everfrost
Paineel
West Karana
West Freeport (totally unrealistic; from level 54+ the only blue cons are the Sir Lucan Dlere spawns 2x every 7 hours, LOL).

Eh. Kroon and Inofus, as well as a few randos inside the militia house, can take you past 54. I've done it on a Bard, though it was like pulling teeth at the time. Totally solo, was my first toon on the box during 40% hybrid penalty.

Completely untrue. Nyzil Bloodforge is Blue to 59 and doesn't have much HP. Hardest part is splitting him from his guards. Can be root rotted by a ranger, though arrows will get expensive if you don't have a Tolans bracer. Put 30% of 59 into that fucker back when 40% hybrid penalty was in play, and have never been able to fix my dwarf factions.

Unpopular zone leveling route to 60 lets go:

Steamfont Mtns 1-15
Gorge of King Xorbb 15-20
Dagnors Cauldron 20-25 (think of all the aqua goblins!)
Sol A 25-35
Great Divide 35-45
Cobalt Scar 45-50
Sol B 50-55
Plane of Mischief 55-60

They don't give full exp at 54 though, no? So yeah you can exp on them, but it's very slow.

I'm not sure what you mean? I didn't talk about Butcherblock for the high levels. The bottleneck for that zone is some of the lower levels.
