I spent the majority of my characters life in Crushbone, level 8 to 24.
Level 8 to 15 was your regular grouping. Sitting at the tents, sitting at the wall, sitting in the slaver tents, sitting in the throne room.
But once I got to level 16 things got weird. Fewer people, less so wanted to go inside the castle. Duo'ed with another mage awhile back and that was great but as time went on I got more and more alienated. 16 to 20 I soloed both slaver pits, turning in keys and earrings.
But then level 20 happened. New fire pet with a neat little 22pt damage shield and a new heal. I was wrecking the Throne Room by myself and made a nice amount of spellmoney over time. Once 22 and 23 rolled around I pretty much stuck to the Tower. Now here I sit at level 24 wondering what have I done with my life.

Also where is the next zone? Mistmoore seems kinda dead and I dont know where else people go these days.

Move on to Runneye or Gorge and win. Mages are broken just know that. Fire pet until lvl 49 is just soooooo OP. 49 Water/Earth pets are broken and fire pet is awful.

Don't do Mistmoore if you want 2 lvl, xp is awful there. Unrest is also decent. But Perma/Runneye/Gorge are Bae atm.

Use fire pet to pull hermit out of hut in SK. 2 minute respawn. Good until 26 or 27 you’re welcome.

In your 30s the fire pet may become a little squishy even with the torch focus item. If you’re soloing there may be times you need to switch to earth pet because the HP regen will just cause you more downtime if you’re using fire than you’d have if you just used earth and nukes twice. But by 39 the pet regen goes way up so you can go back to fire.

If you are in Crushbone past like 17 you are wasting your time friend. XP is garbo by then. I could see MAYBE hitting 18 solo in Throne room and tower but that's it.

But Perma/Runneye/Gorge are Bae atm.

These zones are almost always empty when I'm on. I like Gorge in late teens to early 20s but have rarely seen higher level groups doing the Evil Eyes there.

Permafrost can be a lot of fun and you could probably solo the Flag Room for a few levels at 24. I don't think you will have much luck finding a group though and it is difficult to make it further solo. The goblin wizards hit like a mack truck BTW... do not try them unless you have a tank & healer. Trying to level in Runnyeye without a group (or even with a group!) feels a lot like playing with fire.

Your best bets for grouping would likely be Unrest, KFC in SK, or HHK. You could also try Forest Giants in WW if you want to venture into Kunark.

If you are looking to group, a lot of people go to Unrest until Mid 30s and then Cazic Thule mid 30s to mid 40s

You've become fay.

I did this on a Ranger solo on red, any class can do what you did.

You are playing the game right tho. Imo.

I spent the majority of my characters life in Crushbone, level 8 to 24.

Although I didn't level in Crushbone, this was basically my approach and it served me well.

I levelled from 20 to 26 in Oasis. Similarly I levelled 30-39 in South Karana, and 39-50 in Firiona Vie. Every time, I stayed longer than many people did in the same zone, for the purpose of being able to efficiently and quickly kill low blues and high greens with simplicity and no stress, allowing me as many AFKs as my real life demands (which is a lot) and still letting me level relatively quickly. This really suits poorly-geared melee (my first character, so no "twinking" was possible).

Ok, it might be less efficient than being in a perfect min/max grind group for each level, but many of us do not have lives that allow for that (or indeed, others available just at the right moments).

So good on you!

I stayed until 20 on Live, back in the day. People started calling me "Samwise", like I was too scared to leave the Shire. 10/10, no regrets.

South Karana Treants to 34-35th, great exp and epic game changing loot. 300-400pp/hr
East Karana Guards to 44-45. HHK to 51-52. Earth pet with foci smashes all other pets.

(56 mage)
