A tour of norrath, need some advice

[Coridan]

Me and my friends are all getting into P1999 and are planning on leveling together. We are more interested in experience a lot of the world rather than the best places to grind. I'm trying to put together an itinerary and could use some advice.

We'll have a group of Bard, Druid, Warrior, Monk, Wizard so travel will be easy eventually.

1-5 newbie areas
5-10 Blackburrow
10-15 Desert of Ro/Oasis/Befallen
15-20 Beholders/Lavastorm/Najena
20-25 Unrest
25-30 Cazic Thule
Around 30 we also travel around doing our class armor quests
30-35 Rathe Mountains
35-40 Mistmoore
40-45 SolA
45-50 SolB/Perma

Suggestions on modifying this would be welcome. We're also going to do other stuff along the way, such as Langseax of the Wolves for the warrior, Opalla for the druid and other misc quests/items we might wanna pick up.

I would throw SolA into the 20-30 range also. Some nice drops in there for all of your crew. Not to mention some nice cash along the way. It sounds like you will be old schooling it and questing most of your items, but a little PP never hurt either.

SolB is amazing even at 40. Lot of nice drops, good named camps as well.

Lower Guk is always nice, it's fairly dead other than the occasional farmer in there trying to earn some coin. Most camps are usually open. I know it's the cookie cutter zone that everyone has been too, but it's one of the best dungeons around still.

I completely forgot about Guk, thanks. I'm sure we'll be splitting the level chunks up a bit more, especially the 30s and 40s

Another place many people never go to is Runnyeye, I think it's a zone for 20+ once you get to the higher mobs. Pretty fun dungeon, excitement for sure.

For the best exp and some of the best loots for the level you want to do this:
Upper guk 17-24
SolA around Kindle 24-30
SolA Bar/King/HighPriest 30-35
Lower Guk 35-40
SolB 40-50ish

How well you manage these will depends on how good your bard is, and to a lesser extent your monk.

Pro-tip: bard aoe mez is seriously OP at the lower levels.

Forgetting Crushbone, bad move!

[Xherez]

Dalnir is also great exp in the 30s and good for gearing up your monk.

[Ephirith]

Don't forget the lonely Kunark dungeons nurga/droga/kaesora/dalnir.

These are some of my favorite dungeons in the game, and also some of the lesser visited.

Later levels you guys WILL need a regular slower...espeically without a cleric, be it an enchanter or shaman.

Great idea though, hope you have an excellent journey together [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We are sticking to classic, much as I love Kurn and LOIO.

It was BB or CB and since everyone else is starting in Qey, Halas and Erudin I ran my butt over from GFay. We might pop in to kill crush and dvinn though.
