Where to go ? Approaching 20's ...

[plasma1010]

so I've been soloing in LavaStorm, and grouping in Oasis of Marr. Im hitting level 18 and getting kind of bored of either place.

What are some options into the 20's ?

I have a DE SHD.

Can I do anything in Kunark ?

[nostalgiaquest]

Upper Guk or Unrest are fun.

[Legidias]

Maybe upper floors in Kurn's?

[Tann]

20-24 in Kurns (area below the basement leading to the zone out), some of the best exp available and is almost never camped.

though you might need some CC, and the honey badgers share spawns with the skeletons so if the plan is to not get that 1 infamous badger faction hit you might run out of skellies.

Upper Guk or Unrest are fun.

Upper Guk looks easy to get to.

How would I get to Unrest the easiest ? I cant go through Freeport ...

Maybe upper floors in Kurn's?

Havn't even been to Kunark yet, might take the boat from Oasis and explore.

[Brandonian10]

Some Kunark options for you right now.. Lake of Ill Omen, Field of Bone (mobs behind Kurn's will still give xp.. make sure you bind at Kaesora entrance), the lower level area of Overthere (this is probably most convenient since you can bind/bank at nearby evil outpost.) Swamp of No Hope might even be possible if you're feeling adventurous.

As you break into the 20's your mainstays would probably be LOIO and Warslik's Woods (giant fort or brute caves near Dalnir entrance.)

Just listing outdoors stuff here since I'm assuming you'll want to solo fear kite. As others have said, you could still get some xp in Kurn's.

Thanks, yeah Oasis was fun cause I could solo and group, depending on how I felt or had time for. Unlike Lavastorm which I never saw anyone camp. Which was a plus cause I had the whole place to myself. I'll probably stay on Antonica til 20 then head over to Kunark, will give me enough time to mess around in uncharted territory here (Upper Guk or Urest)

[Amyas]

Mistmore pond group, loio = kunark, warsilkwoods at about 24 can be fun.

You can go to 40 if you want to use the same zone in MM then hit CoM at 40-52ish.

[Shrubwise]

At 24ish, head to High Keep. The experience is simply amazing (by far the best experience I have experienced in classic EQ), there is always a group there, and if you kill enough, you will be factioned in Rivervale which would be really funny as a Dark Elf.

There are some nice hunting guides to be found here. Can hunt for plat or xp, solo or populated areas.

But do I have to port to Unrest and Mistmoore ?

I dont know how else to get there as a Dark Elf.

Thanks dont know how I missed this

^^

Nevermind, I didnt know I could travel tunnels in Freeport. I didnt think I could travel through there.

Get a port to Butcherblock from a friendly druid and head to unrest!

Sounds like the place to go, much suggestion !

[Gwynn]

I also say High Keep. You can just live there until 30+. You are fighting constant static spawns right next to the bank and vendors. It is good EXP and you can collect ears for even more exp or sell them to high level players for good PP.

You will meet lots of different classes and folks form beginners to very advanced players leveling up. It is also a good place to learn how to role your role in a group.

[Whirled]

Maybe Shralok Orc close to HpH zone in Kith Forest.

Not a bad idea, I did run into the ruins full of high level undead off the path once and died like 5 times trying to get my corpse. It was the worst place Ive died so far.

That sounds like a place to try, Im grouping in Upper Guk but if I cant find a group I might head elsewhere. I usually solo 50% of the time and Guk isnt really the place for it.

Looks like Rathe Mountains or Lake Rathe might provide some solo options in proximity to Upper Guk if I cant find a group.

[Daloon]

Level 18 and more importantly level 19, are some of the most confusing levels for people in this game.

I could have stayed in Oasis but I got bored. Orc Highway wasnt giving me much xp and crocs don't excite me very much. Plus having to constantly turn around to look for Giants I couldn't even walk away to the bathroom.

[plasma1010]

Screeeeeew Guk I died 4 times in the last 2 days. Trains, mobs, newbies ... I'm heading to Highpass.

[Spyder73]

18 is a bit low for Highpass unless you can find a nice small group for Orcs. 18-23 Mistmoore pond is hard to beat (if you can actually get in the group) and then head back to Highkeep 23-31 and hunt goblins

[Lhancelot]

Just solo crocs in Oasis to 20 lvl.

The chance of dying is very low, and pulling single crocs is easy, fight them next to waters edge so no occasional wandering mobs run into you.

Then, head to MM, Unrest, or South Karana you can kill aviaks at KFC from 20-40 if you wanted.

Ughhh so boring but I might have to. I don't feel like leaving Antonica until at least 20.

I like killing the 2 Minotaur guards where the temple is. Just don't get too close to the eyes. It's afk camp but the spawn time is pretty low. I've done this to 20 on 2 characters. The weapon they drop will also vendor for a few plat.

Depending on your gear, you could do aviak guards in Lake Rathe at 18. I wouldn't really try it without some twink gear as SK because some will still con as yellow to you.

I believe the Karana zones are full of stuff for you to kill if you're into pulling wandering mobs back to a safe spot.

Also took the boat back to Kunark today on my necro and noticed a lot of the ogre's at the dock junction were blue to me(lvl 20). Not sure if they are on OT faction or what so I'd look into that before going there. Seems to be undead and bandit options in the ocean zones for our level range.

Shouldn't take but few hours to get through 18 to 20.

I made it not very far into Rathe Mountains when some dude was already feign death cause of some high level skeletons attacking him. I decided this wasn't the day to run through there, even though I have invis. vs. undead.

The Karana area and Gorge looks interesting.

gorge is quite dangerous because of mudblindness and eye enchanters. it's also very small though and zonelines are often nearby and the total number of mobs in the zone is fairly low.

[Whirled]

Kill Squire Wimbley . Close to a zone too.

[plasma1010]

So there's not a lot of grouping in Guk, thinking of heading to High Keep. How is the grouping there typically ?

I want to stay in Antonica until my level 29 and 30 spells. Faydwer, while it was fun and I got a bunch of levels out of it, has become a pain in the ass since I cant bank or vendor anywhere. I'd make X amount of Plat and loot then have to pay to get back to WC.

What, No! get ur ass back into Guk ! Cant beat Guk!

Well I better find a group soon cause the last few times I couldn't. And I don't know the zone very well and it's pretty confusing so Im afraid to run in too far.

Okay finally found a good group in Upper Guk. Overall the xp was great, but honestly I can't stand tight dungeons like this one. I much prefer open spaces, I was fine with Mistmoore and even Unrest but the walls annoy me !

yes I always found guk boring too. It's the lowbie version of COM for me, COM being another dungeon although not as claustrophobic for me it's equally mindblowingly boring.
