Fastest way to level?

[guineapig]

People getting to level 9 in an hour are getting power leveled by high level players.

Level 5 in 9 hours seems about right for classic EQ. That's assuming you didn't spend any time talking to NPCs, exploring, getting lost, getting killed etc.


The fastest way to level is with a group of people of similar level to you. Stick with them. If somebody leaves the group be proactive and find a replacement. If you outl-evel the area take charge and tell them what area you should all move to together.

It's amazing how much you can accomplish in the game if you stick with a group.

Others will mention solo classes. But it's not actually the quickest, it just means you never have to be sitting around looking for group when there isn't one available.

If that's your preference then mage, and druid are probably the easiest classes to start with. I would say necro too but you sound like you're new to the game. If so, the faction issues might make it a stiff learning curve.
