Enchanter Leveling

[wagorf]

solo in HHK until 55 , or duo/trio CoM 2nd and 3rd floor until 56 57

As much as a I used to love Kedge, the exp was nerfed last July. I don't think the exp there is terrible, but it's not what it once was.

Good luck with the mermaids! Just make sure to back yourself into a corner to prevent interrupts while casting.

I can't imagine leveling a chanter somewhere without casters to constantly be ToTing.

/shudder


I'm obviously biased in favor of HS, but I've started entrance there at between 50-52 (50 is fine, 52 is just about trivial). Basement is a bit trickier cause you can get pather adds and there are wizards, but it's not bad at 52. 54+ you can go pretty buck wild in north. Even when you die, just leave something on your corpse and keep at the xp. It's pretty rare to spend 3 hours online in HS without a cleric being at entrance and able to rez you. Between relative ease finding rezzes, absolutely insane mana regen with ToT (and possibly WM too), mobs killing each other quickly because of the up-front HT... HS solo XP is awesome.

Watch my videos for leveling (and at-60) work in HS, if you have a mind to:

This. ToT is probably the second most game breaking spell enchanters get (after charm). It completely changes the viability of soloing in different places and the amount of downtime you have.

Tecmos you’re the reason I started playing an enchanter. I’ve already seen all your videos a couple of times. I was just wondering if there was more spots. Once I hit 54 I’ll be heading back to Howling stones. I’m about 30% away

I started at 53 and wouldn't have wanted to start there much earlier. Now I'm halfway through 57 and have basically never left.

You are still a touch low for HS, though entrance is probably doable. At 52/53 I was spending most of my time in The Hole, KC, or the upper levels of CoM depending on what kind of experience I wanted. I moved to HS full time at 54 and have pretty much stayed there til now (59). It’s an amazing zone and once you learn how to deal with the things that will insta-gib you, it’s a lot of fun. Plus ToT on like 3/4 of the mobs in there means that mana is rarely the factor limiting you from leveling. I plan to stay in HS into 60 - in part because I am close and I now know North and West so well that it would cost me more time to learn another zone as well as I now know HS.

If you play chanter well, 52 is definitely not too low for basement and north, especially if you duo with a cleric. If you feel confident, go for it OP, exp is great there at that level!

Yeah I’m just about 54 I’ll hit it tomorrow night. I’ll head back to HS then

Duo yes, but I would argue it's not worth trying to do Basement and North solo at 52. You can kill mobs there, and you might get a bit more exp per kill, but the downtime you're likely to get from CR or regular health/mana recovery might mean entrance is more efficient. Your ability to recover from a resist or charm break increases significantly as you level. Because shit will happen.

I am assuming this person is unfamiliar with HS. I still get gibbed when I make mistakes. The margin for error at 52 is pretty small. Entrance is doable, but basement or north for the inexperienced seems unnecessarily risky for those that don’t understand the mechanics.
