Crushbone is packed

I will reinforce that you have to message people. Run around the zone and see if things are camped, then message someone in that group. In CB, check the TR, wall, slaver pits, slaver caves, and trainer hill. If one person is soloing something, like trainer hill, ask if they want to duo. Don't just /lfg, sit at the entrance, and spam every 5 minutes. It rarely works.

Edit: Also, as an enchanter, your pet works pretty good until level 12 or so. If you have the spare plat, chain cast pets against things like legos when you can.

you're an enchanter, solo!!! if nothing else for that hour lfg kill some blues with your animation.

Not so easy under 12.

I would try the goblin camps in Butcherblock (maybe take 1-2 other lfg people) or the mobs outside the minotaur cave in Steamfont if you're around L10-12.

People have the new LFG meta down to a fine art by the time they get to City of Mist. It goes a little something like this:-

1. Turn up to a group and make sure all 6 group members have seen you there, send tells.
2. Type "/raise"... this will raise your arm into the air, pointing them to your LFG status.
3. Help them kill mobs while you're waiting, practice weapon skills that aren't maxed etc.
4. Are you a monk/SK/necro? Well this is a bonus, you need to feign death continuously where the fights happen...and if you need to afk, just flop down in front of the casters (not behind them, as they might not notice you so much).

LFG 101 right there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pretty much that in terms of grouping. But in terms of soloing pre -16, I'm playing a new enchanter myself and am not finding much trouble with my max level pet out , lots of enchanters I've seen around me I've noticed usually kill with their weaker pet out

Your pet tanks super well at level 8. Let me help you with this:

1) Purchase rusty 2h axe or sword from vendor.
2) go to lfay bandit camp.
3) summon max level pet.
4) give pet weapon.
5) split camp with calm.
6) agro joust (let pet take agro and swoop in after every enemy attack to get a stab in).
7) ???????????
8) level 12 with cash
9) the all-important profit step

ZEM means nothing if there is nothing to kill. In fact, it makes it that much more boring because you have insane downtime.

There are very few places with good ZEM and low population on blue. Find someplace with an abundance of creatures and lower ZEM and just mass-slaughter. The truly adventurous will go where no one wants to go (befallen anyone?).

Yep, see Kurns as an example. My iksar SK was XP'ing quicker outside Kurns at the ramp than he was running around for ages inside looking for mobs.

Server is filling up in all newbie zones, try not to be picky...go somewhere new/quiet.

Also you can start with just a duo. Find someone else that may be lfg, or is soloing or struggling to solo, and ask to group. Then you can add others.

I usually do ooc for group during that time. I really enjoy grouping so solo isn't really an option. I was just curious if anyone has found a clever way to format groups or find them.

If you don't immediately get a tell when you announce that you are LFG your best bet is to start one up yourself, start sending tells and inviting people that look like they are soloing.

Another issue for an enchanter is that like 80% of the people that play them on this server roll High Elf, last time I was grouping in CB every group had 2 enchanters.

Crushbone never packed on red.

yeah right, though what's the difference between LFG at zone line with 20 players in the zone and 1 player in the zone?
