There is a greater lightstone (and lightstone) turn in in North Karana.

People only go to the oasis areas because it's safe and they get buffs by higher level people. Qeynos is hard to travel to for lower levels but in my eyes, it's a MUCH better place to be because noone is there and the exp is better.

Since you are twinked cash is not an issue, but if you want to earn some cash turn in the Gnoll Fangs at Halas for 5GP per fang plus an item as well as the same great XP. You can also kill the 2 Gnoll Hunters and turn in the two staff halves to Corin in Surefall. XP is poor but he pays up to 11pp per turn in, with a typical average of 3-4pp. Me and a friend ran a Troll and an Ogre up there and can now buy/sell in Qeynos and buy/sell/train in Halas. Halas required a druid wolf-form to turn in our first 50 fangs, but after that we were good to go. My favorite area to start up new characters.

I thought Halas gave less xp per fang turn in compared to Qeynos?

I did the bandit sashes for a good few levels in my teens as well, definitely was worth it as a first toon

Today, I did a fang turn in - 1 putrid bear hide and 20 fangs got me from 40% into level 6 all the way to 97% into 7, and the moonstone exp topped me off and got me just barely into 8. Cool stuff. It's been an enjoyable place to be, too - seeing new sights, learning new things, etc.

It's true, there's far fewer people on the Qeynos side of the world - and it is because there aren't usually level 50 druids/mages/shaman to buff people there as there are in EC. And sadly, Halas becomes even more irrelevant once Kunark comes out - In one sense, I wish there had been a wizard or druid port to Everfrost to increase the number of people grouping in permafrost, or another dungeon there, or some reason to make that side of the world more populated and relevant apart from Vox.

My first character was a barb warrior (a la Braveheart) who never made it past level 3 (i fell off the ferry and had to swim back to shore) - my first thought was whether or not my character would freeze to death in icy waters, but apparently that hadn't been programmed into the game), but I always thought Everfrost/Halas was in the top 5 coolest (pun not intended) places in classic.

Aye,

I always level in the Tox/Qeynos/Everfrost area because it's where the nostalgia is for me. Plus the quests in the area are awesome and Qeynos catacombs is hard core for lower level players.

I used to hit up the Warrens a lot, but i'll be holding off on that one for a while. I still remember my first character (erudite cleric) trying to beat down a wolf & Holly Windstalker walking up & beating my ass down...... I didn't know you could hit for 60+ damage with a rusty short sword.

Long live Qeynos!
