Leveling after 20?

[LordRayken]

So I hit 20 on my Warrior. I've been doing a lot of leveling in Oasis and when I can get it, Guk. Upper Guk was pretty hard to get groups in and I mainly leveled off Orcs and alligators in Oasis. But now that I'm at 20, I really need some advice on where to level.

Is there like a listing of best places to level throughout the game? I haven't played since 2001 and I really don't remember where I went. I think I had a few level 40-50 characters back then, but I can only remember doing Lake of Ill Omen around 30 and some other zones.

Listing such as this? http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide
Where is best is usually personal opinion. Also consider the loot drops for your class.

Upper Guk is amazing, unrest when it's not insanely crowded.

Made friends in unrest and now have a healthy friends list to duo or trio with. If you're a good tank people will usually hit you up or be willing to travel to group.

Here are some spots from different guides... Sorry if repeats... not all perfectly p99 accurate.

19-22/24: Can't remember exactly what level but I did gorge hounds.
22/24-34: Aviaks/Centaurs in South Karana.
----
19-25 back to lake rathe (aviak guards)
----
Level 19: East Karana (anything not currently being kited by a bard, reavers and such /con the best at 19 tho)
Level 20: Highpass Hold (orcs or gnolls, you make the call!)
Level 21: Unrest (1st floor if solo, fireplace if grouped)
Level 22: Mistmoore (zone in to GY)
Level 23: South Karana (chickens!)
----
20-21 Upper Guk(squire camp)
21-22 Mistmoore(zone entrance)
22-23 Lake of Ill Omen(beach north of FV)
23-24 Overthere(trash near warsilk)
----
LEVELS 20 - 25

East Karana - Solo gorge hounds still good XP but no loot, Lion Patri/Matriarchs, Gnoll/Undead
Gnoll Reavers and even blue /con Griffawns, if you can get some buffs. They're vendors here selling muffins and water.

Gorge of King Xorbb - about level 22 and up, you can solo muddite elders and gorge minotaurs while waiting for the Gorge Alchemist for the Treant Fist Quest. Speaking of which...

TREANT FISTS - Now is the time to do the Gorge and Misty Alchemists. You can solo both of these at this level. The Cube and the Captain are not very soloable at these levels, although at 26 I was able to do them without too much trouble, so you may be able to take them at 25.

High Keep - Great place to get good XP and cash. Group with others and concentrate on the Lookout room just down the stairs from the Bank. This is a great spot with a bind, the bank, vendors, and guards handily in one place.

North Karana - Griffawns (mederately tough solo), occasional Wisps, and Pincer (easy), Borer (easy), and Scythe (hard if less than level 22)(excellent xp).

Ocean of Tears - For levels 23-25+: solo gargoyles in OOT. Fantastic XP at 23 (if a little slow because of the down-time) and great loot. Takes about 60-65 kills to go from 23 to 24. Though the island gets a bit busy during peak times, you can gain good XP and great loot during your stay there. Gargoyles drop an eye roughly every two gargs, and sell for 9pp+ each.

Runnyeye - If you group, you get decent XP feign pulling. You can camp the Warlord room or the BIBS with a group, or even solo (rather hard at 25 and down). Pull Guards outside of Warlord room at the lower levels, then later Elites and Dazeds, just be wary of the casters (Guards & Elites are occasionally casters too - you have been warned!). You can solo the Cube at 23, with good Cleric buffs and Enduring breathe, but only if you can split Sludge the Aqua goblin away from it.

Solusek A - Good spot if grouped; roughly 3 bubbles of XP in 4 hours, plus 30pp and bags full of fine steel weapons & some monk-usable armor (Ring of the Goblin Lords - AC4, +3 STR, +3 INT).

South Karana - For levels 21-23: Aviak village. If you can, fall into a group in the penthouse. When not in a group, since everyone else will be camping the ground points, suggest running the loop up the ramp to find and pull darters and rooks. Also, always pull to the outside of the village, avoiding those resting, KS-ers, and other spawns which might complicate the battle.

Faydwer: Castle Mistmoore - Reportedly solo??? Gargoyles. Note: MM is a rather dangerous place to try soloing at these levels, try grouping first until you are absolutely certain you want to go it alone.

Faydwer: Unrest You can go from 20 or so to 24 in Unrest and have an absolute blast. Start pulling (and learning!) ghouls, lesser mummies (?), and dark bone skeletons from the first floor of the house. Recommend standing near the fountains and pulling out the front door. Be careful pulling from the ballroom or the room that's "behind" the ballroom (that is, the long room that's towards the back of the house, under the stairs to the 2nd floor), as you can aggro about 3 full rooms of MOBs and get a real nasty train. Once you get up to 21 or 22, you can expect to move up into the Hand room, which is on the second floor, or the Ghoul Magi room, also on the second floor. Hand room seems easier, as the ghoul magi room can get trained easily by trains from the bar & knight rooms that have chased a group to the zone and are returning. If you are outside the house at these levels, move around to the side (along the wall across from the big deck) or kitty-corner along the wall to that deck and pull from the 2nd floor. That porch is a great spot to feign split.

Kunark: Lake of Ill Omen - Incredible XP with the goblins, whether you're at the ruins or the goblin hole, all is great XP. Reportedly you can solothem (Battlemasters and Skirmishers?) at level 25 (NOT the Warriors or Warlords unless grouped). Also, lower level Sarnaks (again, NOT Recruits unless grouped) are great XP. You can also try sabertooth tigers, although they're harder than goblins. Not to be repetitious, but don't try sabertooth grimlakin unless grouped.

Kunark: The Overthere - Very good for levels 20-24 (BTW, can start as low as level 18) ...lots of blues and good XPs...most you can solo just fine..just be sure to stay on the Warslilk Woods side, between the WW zone entrance and the beach, and stay away from the Sarnak camps. Rhinos, stoneglints, stonepeeps, succubants (barbed, thorny, prickly) all great XPs. Also sanark conscripts and flunkies; just remember if you start to move westerly you'll run into higher reds so stay in your area...that little pond north of the ww zone is a great place to pull to.

Kunark: Kurn's Tower - You can start soloing here. Stick to the simple skellies on the first floor.

Solo Kurns till 24. Hand in 1200 bone chips and ding 25.

Go to hospital for RSI from ctrl clicking bone chips.
