Adventurer's Guide to Leveling: Community Project
 

I was always curious if the true adventurer at heart could travel the whole of Norrath as they leveled without taking far too long to progress. This could be the answer!

Here are the rules. Suggest a single zone and spot in said zone to level a single level after 10. This zone can only be used once, so if you see it on the list think of something different! The goal is to make a list of the ultimate journey where you and a friend can go and adventure while gaining a level in a different zone for each level from 10-60. We can do this, there's over 80 zones in Classic/Kunark!

No speculation, you actually have to have gained a level at a reasonable pace in the area you suggested with a un-twinked duo/group. For instance, a bad example would be suggesting City of Mist from level 24-25. Make it feasible so that a new player could take a friend to your spot and gain a level there. Can we create the ultimate leveling adventure? Will update with posts, I will start:

10-11 Crushbone(entrance mobs)
11-12 Blackburrow(bottom of ramp)
12-13 Western Karana(bandits east of Misty Storyswapper)
13-14 Befallen(entrance)
14-15 Unrest(entrance)
15-16 Kurn's Tower(main floor)
16-17 Erud's Crossing(wisps)
17-18 Najena(elementals)
18-19 Lesser Faydark(sisters camp)
19-20 Oasis of Marr(orc highway)
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)
26-27 Gorge of King Xorbb(evil eyes)
27-28 Everfrost(random mammoths)
28-29 Warsilk Woods(giant fort)
29-30 Rathe Mountains(giant skeletons near lake rathe)
30-31 Highhold Keep(goblins or guards)
31-32 South Karana(splitpaw spires)
32-33 Solesk's Eye(first goblin room)
.
.
35-36 Lower Guk(dead entrance)
36-37 Frontier Mountains(giant fort)
.
38-39 Ocean of Tears(spectres)
39-40 The Hole(elementals)
40-41 Oggok(bouncers)
41-42 City of Mist(courtyards)
.
.
51-52 Nagafen's Lair(bats)


^^Add your suggestion here, it doesn't have to be for maximum efficiency or ease of travel but for the sake of the journey! You don't have to list your spot in above order.

For the newer players wanting to test the Adventurer's Guide to Leveling, find the suggested spots easier with this link: http://wiki.project1999.org/Zones

Thats pretty much it for old world.. Using Kunark is cheating IMO.

Kurn's Tower 10-18, I really dont know why more people dont go here, it has a rediculous ZEM, and honestly it could be up to par with Paludal.l

Because it is hard as hell to get there, and if you are not a Iksar where you going to sell? Who has plat for a port there at that level?

True webrunner, didnt take that into thinking :P

I believe he is thinking more so individual camp spots like the ones that a little bit more hidden in zones. Sort of how bandits are a bit out of the way in gfay.

Sorry if I wasn't quite clear enough but the goal is to list both the zone and the spot in the zone in which to gain a single level then move to a new zone. We are making 10-60 a huge adventure where you are never in the same zone twice to grind more then 1 level. Bubbles has it correct except for listing where in each zone.

Kunark is fine, remember just 1 level for each zone. Let the adventure begin!

But you would enjoy some obscurity, correct? Little places of Eden tucked away? I regrettably don't know very many because I only adventured when I was younger and playing live. But I think this idea is really cool.
