reresearcher posted:Yea, the wiki level ranges are a bit off. Mammoths especially were tricky around that level. You're kind of in a hard slog until 34 when you get your first quad spell. Might want to try root rotting giants in Warsliks then hitting up FM giants. Did some wheeling and dealing in EC and now I'm sitting at 135 WIS, which is way better than what I had before at least. I tried out the alligator pit and it's way too dangerous for my liking. I'd probably like it more if this wasn't my first chaacter and I could afford a Goblin Gazughi Ring. Pratan posted:At 27-34 do sabertooth grimwhatevers in LOIO. Thanks! Yeah, I saw this as another potential spot, I think I'll try this since I have very little Kunark experience and I'd like to explore areas which are new to me.

I'm up to 47 on my magician  Trying to do some hunting in GD/EW, those frost giant elites in GD are very misleading and not at all like the ones in icecladalways on the lookout for chill solo spots, i was surprised how often oggok was camped of all places

Agreed! I often have my focus split and can't reliably group since I will need to randomly AFK for periods of time, so chill soloing spots have carried me all the way to 47. I want to find another good spot, GD/EW is a little intense and it's hard to find a reliably safe place in the zone. I wanted to try spectres in oot since gargoyles carried me a while earlier but they were too close together and mage's lack of CC meant I pulled 3-4 at once every time  seems like the specs in feerrott and oasis are pretty reliably camped, same with the ludicrously lucrative hill giants in ratheIf anybody's got suggestions for laid back spots I'm all ears, or all forehead since i'm an erudite

Lake Rathe has some 6min respawn NPCs that can be easily and safely farmed. Again, not sure how camped they are. https://wiki.project1999.com/Taia_Lyfol https://wiki.project1999.com/Kanthurn

LOIO windmill is working out really well so far. Aside from a couple bad pulls which I had absolutely no business surviving, it's been pretty easy. Got nearly a full level in just a couple hours last night. Should get me to 30+ pretty easily.

Just hit 31 this morning, and yeah, LOIO windmill was great. The excellent sabertooth hides sell for good money to other players, too. Got a lot of practice with charm-fighting to kill two mobs for full exp. Sabertooth grimalkins are starting to go green, so I took the boat to Iceclad Ocean and parked my rear end on the first island with snow cougars. Gonna try this out later. If I have trouble here I might go back to LOIO for another level or two. e: lol yeah I'm going back to LOIO. I got lag-spiked then died twice in a row and lost my level. Might try this area again at 33 or so. vvv might also give that area a shot sometime, thanks! DizzyBum fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Sep 29, 2022 |

Exp is a little slower than LOIO, but these guys are dropping lots of money and there's nobody else in the zone. I vastly prefer slow and safe exp & loot to high risk/high reward camps.

I heard they nerfed Soblohg in Swamp of No Hope. That guy was awesome. Level 25 but he could drop sapphires and whatnot. You could go back and forth between his two spawn points and farm him.

I stayed at Swamp exiles until 33 when the exp quickly fell off. They turned green at 32 but the exp was still good. Highly recommended for a braindead easy camp (if you have crowd control). I'm absolutely going back there if I level another character. Now I'm in Cazic-Thule's alligator alley and that's been great so far. Loot sucks (aside from the rare magician quest items) but the exp is great so far. I had a couple unlucky deaths but the exp is fast enough that it's really not a big deal. I'm really close to 34 and those new spells are gonna help a lot. DizzyBum fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Oct 3, 2022 |

Currently have a 30 bone knight and 35 monk soloing the following path: 29-34 Swamp of No Hope Iksar Exiles / Warsliks Woods brute caves 34-39 Mines of Nurga exit tunnels (https://wiki.project1999.com/Mines_of_Nurga_Goblin_Tunnel) 39-42 ?? 42-46 Dreadlands yeti caves I especially like the Nurga levels because that dungeon was one of my favorites on Live and it's basically never camped by anyone else. The goblins drop Mountain Death salts and give Brood of Di'zok faction, too, so I usually can get to apprehensive or better for those Chardok quests by the time I approach 49/50. Definitely going to do some Howling Stones in the 50s. Not a fan of Karnor's Castle, so we'll see how it goes when the levels start slowing down. Might just give Lower Guk and Sol B a shot during bonus weekends. We could potentially duo any of these spots for some respectable exp

You’re also leveling a class that has some more end-game viability (raids love lvl 60 wizards) than a Druid. That said you want a daniel face you need to be a Druid. If you really want to play a different class (tank) just roll that class though. Gear is plentiful!

Working to hit 54 so I can use vocarate: water and get backstabby pet I tried taking a break from seafuries and grouped in WL for a bit but because of my afk playstyle geonids don't make a good solo target (yet at least) because of their stupid amount of hp so back to seafuries I go At least I've made some decent cash and was able to afford some gear upgrades and still have some left over! Will need to get me that water staff from phinny soon, that will be its own adventure but i reckon my guild will lend a hand I really wanna try grouping in velks or Chardok when I'm able to put more focus in the game, I'd love some nice loot to sell Gotta have an excuse to make a mule sooner or later

You can be edgy and make an erudite or iksar shadow knight. If you roll an erudite be sure to add 5 to agility. Iksar have the benefit of being able to quest for greenmist.

Still, no harm done I guess, even str and sta won't be of much use once you get beyond level 20 or so.

Okay. Well uh. I guess I should have logged out while I was making lunch, because I came back 20 minutes later and apparently I lost three levels from getting spawn-camped over and over at the Cazic-Feerott zone line (I bound myself right in the corner on the Feerott side) by one of the ogre bouncers right outside the temple.

Speaking from experience in being internet-detective'd, doxxed, and then eventually stalked IRL because of games (not this one but a couple others for sure) - some people have very unhealthy relationships with the games they play.
