Consider the rotten skeleton and pained soul PH areas. May be slow by 50 but if you plan to sell MQs may be worthwhile.

I always forget about this. Such a no brainer, too.

You can kill guards up to 55. That is when most of the good guard spots green out. I did WL goos until 57 I think. They are good money and XP, albeit a bit boring.

Howling Stones North/Basement is great xp in the upper 50s, that is where I am currently XPing.

I did Felwithe guards until about 54 i think and then moved on to Kelethin guards until 58 (there will be 4-6 guards that remain blue per spawn cycle)

Any recommendations on where to fight the guards in Kelethin? Tried a few rounds but they keep running of the platforms when fear kiting which is super annoying [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven't killed Kelethin Guards, so this is just some general advice that may help.

Have you tried using the first level Fear spell? When dealing with short fear runways, you want to use the Fear spell with the shortest duration so the mob runs the smallest distance. You also want to use your best snare. You can also bash/slam while they are running. Each time they are stunned they will stop running for a second.

If the tactic above doesn't work, you may need to just let them run off and then levitate down to finish them. Not ideal, but bad pathing is bad pathing.

Finally, you could try dispelling them before they fall off the platform. Definitely not great either, but it could work.

Mushrooms in the forest in PoM, then once 54 or 55 go kill in the rat maze to 60

I added everyones' suggestions here to the Per-Level Hunting Guide. It had most of the spots already, but didn't have them all labeled as "Good for Shadow Knights".

Now that it does, you can click "Shadow Knight" at the top and see a nice list of places to hunt as a Shadow Knight ... at least from 40 on (the guide could definitely use some lower-level SK spots).

outside rogue's guild is a good spot to pull singles

The entry also links to another forum post ... but it's kind of Wizard-centric so I don't know how helpful it would be. Still, it sounds like "outside Rogue's Guild" is where you should try; that will at least get you singles, but you'll still need to be careful about where you pull (and use snare) to avoid the falling off part.

P.S. Here's a video of a Necro doing them ... not quite the same, but close.

Hey! Approaching 50 on my SK and looking for ideas on where to head next. Stuff I’m considering so far, not sure how good it is to fear kite at these location though.

Butcher block guards
Kelethin guards
Wakening lands dragons, goos
The Hole
Sebilis?
Charasis?

Any other ideas? Don’t mind the occasional group/duo but trying to stay away from KC

Those places are all possible, CoM is pretty good as well. You’d be surprised how many close quarter places an sk can fear kite(especially if you can slam). I initially wrote it off as an annoying way to level but it’s pretty much essential 50+ for good solo xp. I can effectively go for hours if done correctly paired with the blood ember gauntlets/boots when I need to balance the mana from dooming darkness/fear/spook the dead. I do have a crown of narandi/fungi though, but I assume most people these days can obtain those items or just paying for a POTG every few hours is totally worth the xp boost once you figure out a good spot.

Also do not neglect the added damage potential of the 52/58 pet. The max level 52 pet is an 8 level jump from the max 49 pet. Get yourself a reclaim energy item to help with getting to max. It’s more than just a tiny dot, a good pet is capable of doing at least 1/4 your dps. Here’s a screenshot I took from the max 52 pet with strengthen death:

Any suggestions on where to fear kite on the walls in CoM? Got to lvl 55 now and it seems like CoM could be a good spot until 57 or so.
