Easier said than done at first, of course...and I'd be happy to help you with more advanced details if you're willing to try.

This will set you up with the skillset needed to reap the rewards of the best zone / area / ZEM in the game for your 30s: Cazic Thule gator pits.

You will absolutely fly through those levels. From there, take those learned skills elsewhere and keep charm killing them animals. By the time you hit 50 you will have the path of SolB ----> Chardok / Bear Pits mastered before you even set foot in the zones.

Quadding is stupid, boring, and doesn't make you a better player.

If you can master druid charming, you're all set for your next (and far more powerful) alt(s): enc and/or necro.
Toxigen giving great advice here .... well up until this last part:

Animal charming and quadding are the two fastest ways to get XP as a Druid on P99. Both are awesome in their own way, but quadding really isn't as viable until 45 (when the Luminescent Staff starts working).

Before then, you can root/rot or join a group if you want variety, but if you want levels charming is the way to go. Go pay the "iron price" for a Goblin Gazhuhi Ring (ie. go camp the Sarnak Courier for something like 7 hours): it's doable at 25 (you might even still get some XP doing it), and it's the only item you need to charm well.

Once you have that, you can animal charm all the way to 60 if you want, though again I'd encourage you to explore quadding at 45 or so. https://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide (click on Druid) has lots of suggestions of where to go, including two (full page) guides on the gators in Cazic Thule that Toxigen mentioned.
