So is the fun over now that I've hit 51?

[Loadsamoney]

I've heard that every level after 51 is a hell level, with 54 and 59 being double hell levels.

My guildies keep telling me I need to level up my druid for POTG, not sure if that'll ever happen!

Is the game fun? Then play the game and you will get some levels. Just group anywhere that you are welcome and explore dungeons, get some loots and get some EXP. Jolly jolly.

I took forever to level up from 54 to 60 (including 11 months at 59) because it slowed down enough that playing to level was no longer fun because of the lack of progress. So I ended up XPing as a side effect of exploring dungeons, helping with epic fights, being in an XP group at a raid and otherwise playing the game, and slowly got there with a level every few months (except 59, that level was stupid).

If just playing to do stuff wasn't fun, I would never have stuck around to get through the grind to 60.

The "Be in a raid XP group" plan did work much better since I was a rogue, but every other class has better solo XP opportunities, so....

As a paladin, you might be able to get down to a spot in Lguk and get some single pulls and do a full mana dump with your undead DD's and then melee a mob to death, and survive.

I have never tried to solo as a high level paladin but that might work. I did solo in lguk as a cleric and there are good mobs and you can control the zone pretty well with your undead spells and pacify and such.

I would try to solo in your spare time. If you have a lot of time just join a group in kunark and grind it out baby!

These replies are correct.

Double the xp means double the time, double the time means double the adventures, double the adventures means double the fun!

At 51+ most of the games content is open to you, perhaps with the exclusion of some of the most powerful bosses. You don't NEED more levels at this point, and simply playing the game for fun will help you slowly accumulate xp to get those last few levels.

Just keep playing, finding the funs, and when the fun stops stop.

Right now I'm soloing Guard Captain Latorl in Paineel. He's level 41 and I can burn him down quite quick with Dismiss Undead and Ghoulbane, though he dishes it out pretty hard as well. At Level 50 I was getting a blue bubble every 3 kills, now it's every 7 or 8 kills.

This guy is on a 24 minute timer, which means I'm probably looking at 40-60 hours of straight camping this guy to get to 52.

You really should give grouping a try.

My necro is 52 let's go bang around in Karnor's and I'll show you how the XP bar can move. All ya gotta do is help out on charm breaks.

The truth is I play this game semi AFK. I kill the mob I'm camping, rebuff, med, and then go afk for 20 minutes playing another game (lately Killing Floor 2 and Star Ocean 4), come back when the mob respawns, rinse and repeat. I've pretty much done this since level 20 or so when I first started grinding in Paineel. None of the mobs here aggro me until I attack, so it's completely safe, and its good money at 10 plat a pop. And they're all undead, which plays even more in my favor as a Paladin.

i quit my alt cleric at 51, and this was even with end of life red XP Boost (circa 2014?)
highest chars Were 58 via live and red
not sure i can do it with out quad kiting
will be amazed if i can ding 50 on green

It becomes unfun? seeing the glacial XP progress, for me it always ends up the same:
Am i having fun or wasting my life thoughts, this kills the game for me

[Loadsamoney]

Well I can just kill my mob every 24 minutes and do something else and eventually I'll make progress, but now I've started my Ranger and I actually want to actively play it, so my pally may go on the shelf again.

Unless I can get a group in The Hole willing to go kill Keeper of the Tombs or something.

[tranceminus]

If you’re willing to play actively, good hole groups or duos will get you 10-14%/hr until level 54/55. After that, it slows down fast, but it’s still the best exp in the game and you’ll get 6-7%/hr through 58 at least.

As for the fun, I find that after grinding the same camp for a few weeks straight, 99% of the fun comes from chatting with group mates.

[Loadsamoney]

A very nitpicky complaint as well, but I'm amazed at how many people come to Paineel asking for an elevator or Hole open, considering how easy it is to get keys for both.

Anyway, at the rate I'm going with the Guard Captain, I'm probably looking at 4-5 solid days of grinding him for a level. It's not soul-crushing yet, I can probably ride this until 54 before I get burned out, right when the first double hell level kicks in.

[elwing]

Just move to the hole

You can also go to Neriak 3rd Gate and kill guards three. There is no where to sell but they are clerics and start to CH at 40% so they are actually pretty easy to kill. I started there I think at 52 and they were easy but I am pretty twinked. I never saw them camped and medding at the zone line seemed safe to afk given your play style. They were all dark blue even at 54. My guess is you could probably get 2 down before you have to med back to full.

Added bonus you get a positive faction hit for Priests of Life for Soulfire and Epic.
