Leveling advice (wizard)

[WizardEQ]

I don't know what starter zone you're in, but I'd head for CB or BB right away. I was in CB last night helping out others, and the zone was a flurry of activity. It seems like there has been a MAJOR influx of really new players in the past few weeks (not just alts). Proof for me was there were NO group in CB last night, everyone was trying to solo miserably, and the result was massive trains to Zone every 5 minutes. Reminded me of starting back in '99 when we didn't know what was going on. But on the flip side it sure was fun and I saw that last night again!

I started in Tox (worst starter zone in the game) and as soon as I hit lvl 3 I headed right to Qeynos, got a bind, started grouping in Blackburrow and never looked back. I'd suggest getting into a group and let the exp roll in. I grouped mainly from 3 to 47. It can be done, you just need to be extra proactive (put that LFG tag on immediately) about knowing where to go and group dynamics. Also, wizards get the bad rap because they go AFK, so don't go AFK or you'll get that bad reputation.

Once you hit 12 or so, head towards Oasis. The best group is at Orc HW at the invis wall. You can stay there until 20. After that head to Mistmoore or Unrest. You can do that until 30 or so. Then U/Lguk, there are options in LOIO or OT until mid to late 30's. I did SolB from 40-47.

If you want to try quadding, make sure you sift through all the posts, or just have someone show you. I either grouped in OT or quadded succulents in my late 30's. Some quad much earlier, but I found resists pretty unbearable.

Hit me up in game, we can talk further if you'd like.

Circle of force definitely getting way resisted. I got a 40 wiz in about 241 int worth of gear and +mana who can quad with a c2 + enlightenment. It's still good xp but I could do it in like 162int with less + mana on live.

The mobs in the OT start to run when they get low, spectres is best but they move faster than they did on live atm. Bonds of force is also a much, much shorter duration that Atol's so it's harder quadding at 34+ than 51+ imo.
