Screw you mages and necro's...Monk level guide

[Versus]

OK. I know no one cares but I have free time at work, so monks rejoice.

1-3: Kill anything/everything in your noob zone.
5-10: High tail it to EC and beg for buffs (SoW/Regen/DS/HP). Sucks but you'll be on your own eventually. Kill orcs, scarabs, snakes, spiders, etc.
10-11: North Ro dervs or pray for an Oasis croc grp. This or blackburrow gnolls/fang quest.
12-18: Oasis. Crocs or Orc Highway. Personally think the croc groups are better if you can kill mostly deepwater crocs/caims.
19-22: South Karana aviak tower. Either this, or go to Lake Rathe and solo the 2 spawn Aviak Guards. There is a zone right there. Use mend.
22-25: Solo the zone in @ Mistmoore. Pulls aren't too hard and the mobs give 2-4% per kill @ 22. 2% steady @ 24 Zone if you must. Use mend. People will often help you.
25+: Group up deeper in Mistmoore or continue solo'ing at zone when there are no groups. Maybe HHK? I don't know much about it.

That's all, I'm only 25. But I got here in ~ 1 week, so it works.

Any additional info is appreciated.

My experience has gone thusly:

1-4: Kill anything/everything in your noob zone.
5-9: Qeynos Hills, mostly gnolls
10-13: Blackburrow groups and gnoll fangs
14-18: Oasis. Crocs or Orc Highway. Crocs for exp, orcs for money
19-25: Upper Guk groups, warden >> scryer
25-26: Soloing Iron Guardians in Nektulos
26+: Not sure I'm at 26 heh...might have to check out MM

CT maze to lvl from 26 to 29 its ok, there is some singles mobs.

[Versus]

Just OK? Meh, I'm looking for killer xp spots post 26!

Which is better, Mistmoore or HHK for grp xp?

[Asher]

Both are majorly over camped. If you are willing to kill guards HHK isn't bad. If you are only going for goblins you will rarely see more than one group doing them and you are better off in MM.

If you're interested in soloing or duoing, these are my recommendations up to level 30:

1-3: City Gates
4-8: East Commonlands - Black Bears, Large Spiders, Lionness, Sand Scarabs
9-13: West Commonlands - Wisps, young kodiaks || Befallen - Main Floor
14-15: North Ro Dervs
16-19: Oasis Orc Highway - Wandering Orc Warriors near N Ro zone line
20-25: Upper Guk - Gaz + Tons
26-30: Sol A - Young/Cinder/Flame goblins

[Yinaltin]

30 to 44 go for the crocos in sewers in ct . i , as a necro/mage , saw 3 monks lvling up there . avoid the caster lizards !

[Versus]

Duly noted. May have to check out SolA soon, and then CT. Could always use a shot at a Syth vest as well ;)

Get a good group together with people that have a while to play (around 26-29ish) and head to SOLA.

Work your way to the area right near A in this map:

Pull the areas surrounding which include like 6-7 named mobs while getting massive xp.

Right near a zone line too if shit gets hairy.

[Harrison]

If you suggest Oasis, you fail.

[Versus]

Newsflash: SolA is hard to get xp if the zone is populated. 20min respawn time isn't exactly ideal. Just a FYI to people looking to go there.

Personally think Mistmoore zone in mobs are more efficient. Straight hitters, no surprises.

[Dr4z3r]

In Oasis, I've always found Orcs to be a better group, simply because there's rarely a shortage of them, even with a group at the shrine and another at the invisible wall. Actually pulling a steady stream of crocs (of the right level) was always a problem for my groups.

When I was leveling up my necro a couple months ago mistmoore was almost always packed and sola was almost always empty (aside from some higher levels camping kindle or something else.) The spot I suggested has endless pulls even for a group full of 30's. The zone is huge, and if you can get a solid group, can be one of the best zones for XP at that level in the game.

Indeed. From what I saw a group is necessary. If I manage to get one going, I will take your advise for sure. Only thing is often times it is a pain in the butt to get one rolling, especially in a often deserted zone. With mend being the way it is atm, it's just too tempting to not attempt to solo for 2-3% per kill (At lvl 26)

Is this a monk guide or am I reading the mage/enc/necro/druid guide?

South Karana is for druids and queers. HHK is where it's at for level 25-30. People should be begging you to join them, they'll want you to pull. I was in groups with monks there from 25-30, we kicked serious ass. Sometimes we even had 2 monks, total beat down!

Oasis is for solo mages who like to kill yellow and red crocodiles and leave none left for you. IMO, go to High Pass. Tons of Orcs/Gnolls in the level 12-20 range here, and a chance at better loot.

You can head to Upper Guk as early as level 15. There's better loot to be had there too, LIGHT weight loot. And if you need magical gloves boots, this is your zone.

MM is a clusterfuck. It might be worth spending time there in your 30s, but I would avoid it otherwise. Buncha hosers bitching at each other about trains non-stop.

[President]

Aye... almost every time I started a sola group I only invited people who had 3 or more hours to play. I don't think it would be too hard though, I was making the groups back when the server pop was around 300 at peak.

This thread has helped. Tonight I'm gonna see who is LFG and try to throw together a SolA group or run my ass to Highkeep. I wonder how high I can get before I stop my 1 lvl per day rate. Probably tonight since I am 0% into 26 and have to hit up the dentist after work.
