Permafrost bear pits / Kedge Keep are the 2 best locations for charm killing which is likely the best / fastest method of leveling post 53.


You need Call of Karana and Glamour of Tunare, so buy up all those crap spells and turn them in til you get those 2.


Each has their positives and negatives:

Perma's Positive:

Great EXP
Out of the way, so not many people visit the zone.
A few safe locations where you can bind yourself and be safe to afk at

Perma's Negatives:

Should you die the corpse run sucks balls and getting a rez is even worse unless you have a necro corpse summoner and cleric willing to run out to Perma. (Honestly they should just introduce the Surefall Glade portals)
Getting into the pits without an Ice Giant train takes some practice. Basically you want either a friend to move the 3 IGs + 1 IG Magus out of your way, or you need to learn how to aggro them all, snare them and get them stuck in another part of the zone then zone or succor out.
The loot is pretty bad, there is 1 named bear, an injured polar bear, which drops a decent shaman spear but that's it.


Kedge's Positives:

Great exp again, however this slows down at 58-60 unless you are brave enough to clear the seahorse cave.
Again out of the way so you won't be bothered all that often.
Decent gear. You have the potential of getting Seahorse Scale Cloak (35CR) good for Vox/Gore fights, Hammerhead Helm (13AC 7Str/Sta) great for ranger twinks, Abalone Gorget (9wis) great for cleric/paladin twinks, Squallsurge Shawl / Driftwood Treasure Chest / Shield of Prexus and a few other goodies. Once you get used to it you can clear every one of these PHers before they start respawning. Back when I was doing it the gear would sell for a few hundred plat for the sharkbone hammers and such, up to around 5k for the helm and 10k for the shawl.

Kedge's Negatives:

Its underwater, so you will want a Fishbone Earring to make your life 100x easier not worrying about EB ending or dying while AFK due to drowning etc.
It is again out of the way however getting a cleric to rez you there isn't too terribly challenging, however I always was paying 100-150plat for rezzes there.
Should they ever fix water vision / speed to be classic, it will become much much more challenging, however P99 has some non-classic mechanics in regards to those things and it makes the zone vastly easier than it was on live.


I did KK for a solid 20ish levels, around 34-50 and 54-56ish and 59-60. Perma pits for 56-59ish. Both are great camps if you put some time into learning them, and are prepared to accept a death or two in the process... However I never died in Perma and pray you don't either if you happen to go to that camp cause its terrible.

Seconded, perma fastest exp hands down.

Alternatives, CoM ramps/wall. Rotting. (Moat sub 55ish still good xp and easier.)

BnB in SolB for charming good also.

Get someone who knows the pits to show you how to get there safely.
