Most efficient bind spot for exp 55+

[Baler]

PRO:
WC is the superior bind location.
Always porters coming through if you need a CR. Can pop over to EC if WC is dry.
Food/Drink in zone. Banks in both directions.
Buffs from higher level players.

Con:
Why would anyone want to bind at a stinky sink hole. (seb ent tt)
That has no common porters. No food/drink. No Bank. Half reliable buffs from others.

2 cents:
Boggles the mind why people would put themselves in these situations. As if dieing and being sent to WC is worse than TT.
Just don't die & if you do, just get a CR port. Easy as that. too lazy to run from EJ to Seb?!
Plus if you want to go somewhere to group with people you can gate to WC and get a port to anywhere else.
The benefits of WC are superior.

The only ways binding at any other location is good.
You die a lot.
You're anti social.
You're too lazy to run from the nearest ring/spire after a CR.
You somehow think limiting your resources is beneficial.

--Please note I am directly comparing WC to Sebilis Entrance
There are valid other locations to bind for other purposes, like PoM or firepots pre-nerf--

My current thought is Sebilis Ent. Why? Seb is the most annoying to get to of all the popular high-end PuG dungeons -- HS you can hammer, Velks you can Thurg Gate, KC you can run direct from DL spires. The only downside to binding at Seb is it might be tough to get a quick port out for raids... but there seem to be enough people in Seb that getting a port isn't impossible. Or worst case just hammer and get a ride from HH.

For a while I was bound in WC, which was convenient in some respects, but it was hard to muster the will to get a port and run over to Seb just to find a PuG. If I was just bound in Seb, I think I'd group more often.

I welcome all thoughts to the contrary!

PoM- +1 vote from me! Great spot for a shaman to exp and earn some money.. Safe, and the'ol CS clicky tree..

Bind yourself on the island with the tower in lake rathe and thank me later

[Boyblunder]

Bind outside Seb, root and gate if you run into trouble. Stock up on food and water.

I never move my bind from my starting city, because corpse runs are classic as is rage-quitting at the prospect of a long corpse run.

I do miss that Tim Deep Firepots bind once in a while...

for Kunark, KC is the best because, its central, it covers KC and you can always ask for an Evac from there to EJ if you want to get to SEB

buuuut with velious, CS is also a great place to bind because you have access to skyshrine, keal, SG within walking distance, and there is a portal there that you can use for taxi services.

I cant remember if you can go to EJ fom SG?

The "only can evac from dungeons" thing went away awhile ago. You can go to EJ from Halas if you want.
