Ct was so much fun back in the day.

Mobs that would cheal through walls here in p99 put a sour taste in a lot of folks mouths

Sol A gnomes are the best, one of my favourite places to level by far. I love the clang when you hit them haha!!!


Seriously though I can't believe runnyeye isn't getting talked about more here. It is hands down one of the most dangerous, most F***ed up, unrewarding brutal zones to try to do at level appropriate.

If you try to dungeon crawl Runnyeye, everything will be going great, then all of a sudden you will open a door and be aggro'd by like 20 goblins of all class types clipping through walls and ceilings at your group from every direction lololol.

Runnyeye hands down, no contest.

Because you *can* do Runnyeye for great XP at the right levels. It's just tough. And yeah, that dumb EE. I just stayed away from the second floor where it wanders.

Places like Tower of Frozen Shadow, there's no way to turn it into a fat XP factory. It sucks from the first floor to the sixth. And you are a special kind of masochist if you finished that key grind in the level appropriate brackets.

Was actually gonna post this. I didn't think anyone would agree.

The heals, the fleeing, the adds.

That massive zem isn't worth it by a long shot

I'd say Nurga/Droga are probably the worst 2 zones in the game for leveling. Outside of 3 drops there is zero reason to go there and the exp isn't even good unlike other zones like Dalnir that have really good exp to offset the horde of caster mobs. Cazic Thule, Swamp of No Hope, Toxx Forest also come to mind as horrible leveling zones.

Oh god Nurga, I forgot Nurga. That dungeon is so bad it is a literal black hole in my mind. Droga isn't nearly as awful because of those 3 drops and you can actually get decent XP in some places - mob density is high in the mine area, the dining room, and of course chief and soothsayer.

But Nurga uggggggh, mobs are far apart and yet still aggro from strange areas, and there are absolutely no drops worth having. I was always pretty surprised they waited such a long time to do this one over. Just a terrible dungeon.

Cazic Thule isn't great either, I think the main reason I don't have it as a "stay away" dungeon in my mind is nostalgia. I like the crazy dungeon design, and I like killing the Avatar of Fear, too. But the lizards have a lot of hit points and there are way too many cleric mobs that will heal through walls. Very annoying.

SolA isn't nearly as bad for these things as some other dungeons that were mentioned. It's tough to master SolA but really worth it. Not just a massive ZEM but the cash drops are out of control for that level band. Occasional OK loots, too.
