Necro Leveling 54-60?

[astrocreeper]

Hello. I've been looking around at various guides for 54+ leveling spots and nothing is looking all that appealing.

Can anyone recommend something decent for an iksar necro? I like to solo stuff that drops plat or plat vendorable items. Thoroughly enjoyed killing druids and guards up to this point.

Here's what I've seen:

City of Mist - Undead here, I don't know much about it other than it's often been pretty full up with players and it took me forever to get there.

Karnors - Seems to be a busy place as well. Looks like a good level range. The problem is I like to bank/vendor in the OT outpost in skellie form and I hear this lowers the outpost faction. If I tank outpost faction to it's lowest point would I still be apprehensive in skellie form?

Sebillis - Need a key, don't know much about it, seems popular.

Howling Stones - Tough dungeon, need key, tanks OT outpost faction?

Burning Wood - mob density maybe a bit too high, mobs maybe too low to get good xp at 54+?

Various Guards - Been doing this for a while, the stuff I've been killing is turning green now though. Fine with tanking any factions other than Cab/OT/Neriak. Any guards out there still blue at 54?

SKyfire - mobs have lots of hit points, summon, tanks some dragon factions, potential for spell drops

Chardok - Usually cleared out by the AOE groups, out of my price range, maybe more trouble than it's worth

Neriak Ogres - Tanks queen/dead faction, don't want to do that

Solb - tight quarters, probably need group, pretty busy zone.

I'm sure I'm missing some stuff here. How about Velious zones? Any decent outdoors spots to fear kite.

I did Droga a lot in the 50s for money and faction then once my faction was good enough I pulled chardok and then yours 55-60 in a few days pulling in chardok. You can also do Suits in WL and they drop gems to vendor and to sell to other players and there is Keal or SS bank one zone away.

Dude. Howling Stones. No contest.

look up sesserdrix or my video on youtube on how to do basement in HS. Best xp in game, but high risk.

54-55 on highkeep nobles/bards/captain, 56 might be doable but the nobles are mostly light blue at 55
then 55+ in HS or solb freeti trash, HS is the best choice by far but the learning curve can be steep

[polishanarchy]

Pulling Chardok AE = Fastest, but kind of a pain to do / very boring
Howling Stones = Fun! And you'll learn a lot cuz it's challenging.

So really it depends on the kind of "experience" you're looking for.

Step 1.Find yourself a cleric or shaman.
Step 2.Charm a skelly and haste it with weapons.
Step 3. ????
Step 4. Profit.

duo CHARM with another necro on CoM 2nd/third floor. best exp outside chardok. until about 58. then HS like Bubbageo said.

Thanks for the fast replies, I've seen Sesserdrix's video, one question on killing in Howling Stones. If it drops my Venril Sathir (OT Outpost) faction to it's lowest, would I still be able to bank and/or vendor in Skellie form at the OT outpost?

You can always bank by clicking through the wall, but you won't be able to go inside / talk to merchants or hang out with dragoons!
