Qeynos lvling guide

[Vertiggo]

Could someone make a Qeynos lvling guide. I've played eq for years and years but this is my first char from this side of Antonia and I'm loving it. Zones are designed better. More interactive npc's it's like a whole new game. That being said I'd like to lvl as long as I can over here and really take advantage of everything. I'm also deciding to forego twinking of any kind with this char so keep in mind I'll need to make money as well

1-3 North Qeynos newbie area
3-8 Start at close to the zoneline to Qeynos in Qeynos Hills (watch out for Holly Windstalker if you're killing wolves and bears, she will flatten you), then move to the entrance of Blackburrow - supplement killing exp with gnoll fangs
8-12 Blackburrow (grouped), or continue farming gnoll fangs for exp, for money you can kill rabid grizzlies and rabid wolves and turn in their pelts
10-16 West Karana, bandits (bandit sashes quest for money)
16-24 North Karana, various (get Greater Lightstones and Lightstones for the GLS quest for more money)
18-30 East Karana

Something like that.

Kill the 2-3 diseased wolves (left side of Qeynos hills as you look towards Surefall/BB/Hadden/etc)...hand those in for some plat/faction, great quest and underrated.

Where does a Qeynos based Enchanter go to get his/her Tiny Daggers?

1 - 4: Qeynos Newbie area.

4 - 6: Rabid Wolves (left side of the Q Hills zone), pelts are turned in for good XP and faction. You can also hunt the gnolls on the right side of the zone to the zone line.

6 - 8: The gnolls outside Blackburrow.

8 - 10: Gnolls Watchers on the Hill outside Blackburrow and all the other gnolls outside Blackburrow. It may seem fruitless to hunt greens, but even greens drop fangs which are more XP than con yellow mobs.

10 - 12: Putrid Skeletons by the Ruins.

12 - 25: Blackburrow. Hunt in Black Burrow till you are level 14. Then go hunt bandits in WK for XP and loot. Go back to Blackburrow at level 18 and level there 22-25.

22- 50: Permafrost. Tired of Blackburrow? You can leave here as early as 22 and do the front gate of Permafrost. PF can take you all the way to 50 if you never want to leave the Qeynos area.

If you weren't constrained to the Qeynos area after level 10ish, is the Karanas still the best place to go for experience/coin?

Qeynos Catacombs. It's an underused zone, fun to learn but confusing at first. There is a low level named down there, Cuburt, who is tied to a simple quest for +3int earrings (if you're playing a purecaster). It's not amazing, but for a non-twink it's easy enough to obtain.

Otherwise, just as others have said, Blackburrow and QHills Rabid Wolves/Grizzlies -> West Karana for bandits and their sashes -> North Karana for willowisps and greater lightstone $.

Highpass orcs are great 16-20ish -- mg

There are several places you can go but Karanas are the closest and have the easiest/most famous money quests. There's also Butcherblock Mountains, Crushbone, Steamfont Mountains, Lavastorm, Everfrost Peaks, etc.

By the way, the last two times I went through West Karana, there were no other players! So empty...all those bandits waiting to be killed...

If you can find a hunting partner it's a lot of fun there :)

Rabid wolves can easily be done for 5-11 at least. The pelt turn-in gives great exp, even in the end. Last time I did that, I think it took about 60 pelts for those levels. 6.5 minute respawn with 2 spawns, so like 3.5 hours of AFK camping. And you'll have 120 plat at the end of it.
