Is it even feasible to level to 50 outdoors in Classic? I don't see too many level 40+ mobs outside LGuk, SolB, Permafrost etc. Am I missing something?

Spectres would be the most popular. There are guards too (FP, dwarves, hafllings, High elves... ogres i think are a big lower)

When Kunark first went live, the first char to 60 on Tunare server was a ranger obsessively killing dwarves in Butcherblock. If you can get 60 outdoors vs. vanilla mobs I imagine 50 is also doable.

You'll regret making your main starting character a bard on green. Don't say you weren't warned.

You will regret leveling with a group of friends any time you want.
You will regret always being invited to random groups.
You will regret being the fastest class to 50, if that's what you want.
You will regret never having down time.
You will regret being able to solo almost all non-raid content in the game, including Fire Giants, Ice Giants and most dungeons rare drops.
You will regret being able to travel across zones incredibly fast from level 5 on.

yeah, the classic-era Bard truly is a horrible experience....

Guards. Ice giants. I'm sure other things I'm forgetting.

Yeah, Hill Giants to low 40s, then there's Deepwater Goblins and Spectres, Ice Giants, and various Guards.

Not a lot of variety, but *is* possible.

Roughly how long did it take the first person on live to get to 50? Was it through something that would be considered an exploit on blue? Quest abuse? Pathing abuse?

Hello fellow Tunarian... if I remember correct the first to 50 on Tunare was a pally who solo'd ogre guards.

The ench lvling thing you won't share... is it the classic stand behind the zone line while the mob can't get to you and you meditate while they are choked?

the enchanter trick is not a duo and no I wont tell everyone how to do it.
Is it classic. YES.
Is it legal. YES.

It just takes some creative thinking to figure out. There is no way im going to publicly post how it's done so 200 nerds can try and manipulate certain areas of the classic world.
Those who know, may not think it's a trick but there are a LOT of people who don't know about it. Even though it's in plain sight.



At launch the AE limit will be 4 mobs for bards too.

Does it have anything to do with using charm to STOP the combat between two mobs that already are hostile to each other / or a guard that attacks a mob you bring to it then you charm it when low to stop the combat, then finish it off yourself?

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I know people love to do that exploit at Squire in EK, they pull tons of griffawns or wolves, and charm them at low hp before the guard finishes them off and then for the cost of one charm and maybe one suffication cast gets a mob kill rewarded
