Solution to lower level grouping woes: hotzones or group XP?

[Pomaikai]

I dunno, I've had great luck in EXP groups from my start through 45, where I am now. Extremely solid exp, and many times blazing exp. Now, some of that may be colored by the fact that I'm a Cleric and we don't solo worth a damn in Classic EQ. We can and I've done it, but it's an ugly thing to watch.

Don't use colorful words. Tell me what % of what level you were earning per hour.

The cleric I was talking about leveling earlier? Every time I joined a group with him, people in the group were going on and on about how the xp we were getting was so great, when it was like half of what I had been soloing 30 minutes earlier while 3/4 afk and with no risk of death.


Oh, ya see! I just re-read your post and you said that you, as a cleric, can't solo worth a damn. You are SOOOOO wrong.

Come on. Tell me your group's blazing xp rate in the 30s. Is it faster than 2 yellows per hour? Cause that's what my cleric was soloing in unrest from 34-39. And it wasn't much slower than that from 19-34, probably 7-9 blues per hour.

Duoing is faster than soloing in my experience, so long as the 2 classes are at least somewhat compatible. It doesn't always have to be a full group or solo.
