Crystal Caverns can take you from 30 to 50. It's my favorite zone in the game.

That is the first stop at 30, we may stay there awhile!

Im not sure Runnyeye actually exists on P99, I think its just on the wiki and people assume its ingame

My whole thing with runny eye is it’s fun when a server is fresh and you can benefit from some of the gear but it’s not my favorite place after that.

It gets revamped on our timeline. Pre-revamp Borxx wanders most of the zone and can ruin it if you don't have a way to deal with him, but other than that I had some good times xping in a group there in the 20s.

I've only tried it a little post revamp and didn't make it to the bottom floor, but there was an off-puting amount of roamers. I think there were 6+ roamers going through some areas.

Revamped Runnyeye is horrible IMO. Not sure what they were thinking with that one.

I wish they would tweak RE to make it more playable. Every group I had in RE when P99 green was new got ruined by the random high level Evil Eye roaming around. I'm not saying that it isn't classic, but I don't remember this happening as frequently in 1999. I remember everyone hunting there for the blackened iron (magic boots were a big deal) and the BIBS.

Maybe the dungeon was just so packed that it made it safer in general. Similar to Lower Guk in 1999. Didn't matter if you knew the zone that well. Most of the mobs were dead and there was groups around every corner to rescue you if you got aggro, lol. In 2024 Lower Guk can be a little hairy to navigate.

I remember running down from the dead side entrance right to the lord hall without getting any agro on my sk pre kunark on live. Not a single frog in the way

With my level 25 Fungi Monk, I am now headed to Stonebrunt Mountains, but want to keep it fresh

Try, nvm...
Bamboo shoots, they fresh.

Most people forget that Gorge of King Xorbb even exists, so that has to be the most uncommon place to level. The minotaurs and evil eyes are like level 20-21 so they should be blue until like 27 or 28.

Mind you, it's a shit place to level, specially solo, because the evil eyes are enchanters and they'll charm you and shit. But it definitely qualifies as uncommon.

Good call -- I did spend sometime leveling there on my druid in classic so had my fill, good money at the time for the bracelets they drop.
