Finally coming back to EQ to relive some of the 1999 nostalgia.
Planning on leveling an untwinked Human Monk. One of my favorite things about classic EQ was grouping up, working together, and chatting with people. Does anyone have any suggestions for camps/grouping spots while leveling? Or general advice for a casual blue P99 leveling experience?
Thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Lots of options.
General rule of thumb, exp per hour is king. By virtue of this, lower hp mobs should always yield the best exp, all other factors assumed equal. So by this logic, old world > Kunark > Velious for exp purposes. These factors are typically not "equal" - aka zone foot traffic and the ability to get a group. So for you, I'd look at where am I likely to catch groups and maximize my play time.
Someone else who's grouped their way through levels would add more beneficial information than I could here as I mostly lone wolf it. However, maybe these will help:
1-5 | Noob zone as previously mentioned
5-10 | EC/WC/NRo -- You can hunt spiders, bears, orcs, scarabs, kitties, dervs, etc.
10-15 | Befallen as mentioned, also consider Oasis
15-25 | Highpass to stay near the other zones previously mentioned, also consider Lake of Ill Omen. You can even camp the Goblin Gazhugi Ring there, maybe you get lucky and scratch off a lottery ticket, boom, you've got a set of gear.
25-40 | The Overthere. Although I solo'ed I do remember a bunch of folks here. Dial-A-Porters bop in regularly so you could catch some buffs, dmg shield, regen, etc.
--------------------
Also consider - if you're doing the independent, level old school, gear myself up thing, I would strongly recommend that you save your sheckles as you level, buy yourself some Black Panther Skins (~50p ea), Yew Leaves (~50p ea), and Velium and/or Velium Bonings (These will be a little pricier, I don't wanna do the math right now).
Find yourself a tailor who is willing to help a noob out. I can refer you some friends if you'd like. Get some Black Pantherskin Armor made. It's fantastic, especially if you're new.
