Leveling

If you play primetime, you can usually get an orc hill group going. It's kind of funny that level 4 is so difficult solo, just because there's really nothing around that level that can be single pulled easily. If you want to stay in EC though, just ask the high levels trading for buffs and you'll be fine. Another kind of slow option (but great money for the level) is running the bard mail quest from Felwithe to Kelethin.

False. Its very difficult before selos, and its difficult before the L18 DoT. After L18, you're kiting doesn't change up a whole lot through 60 (besides getting more DoTs).

Bards only get better with age, and L4 is rough for a lot of classes in GFay when solo. Its hard to do orc hill, yet the newbie yard is getting long in the teeth. Just grind it out and you'll be at L5 in no time. Also, I recommend staying in GFay area the whole time, as you'll be back to Unrest/MM in the teens and such anyways. Also skip orc hill and run straight into CB at L5. Orc hill and the CB entrance are much more difficult than the zone in area of CB. Luckily you're a bard and have selo's to run through that last stretch of GFay into CB.

where you kite at 18 tho? still too low for most of SK. LOIO maybe?

LOIO is a popular spot around the windmill, but you do need to be a bit wary of a Crusader that paths through (who is dressed the same as the bandit/manslayer mobs).

Try to fight white or close to white mobs. Killing level 1-2 mobs at 4 yields REALLY low exp. Level 3-4 mobs will get you like 3x more exp than 1-2 mobs.

Until you get to around 7-8 try to fight things close to your level, at around 8 you want to strictly fight blue cons, as the higher mobs start hitting a lot harder.

Also, get used to getting 1% or less per mob. That is completely normal.

Greater Faydark probably has more advantages earlier on. Crushbone is literally on your doorstep and the CB belts/pads is a good way to either generate some cash or accelerate your levelling [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

(more orcs than the Deathfist ones in EC)

Yeah what Swish said, that's one of the highest zone exp mods in the game. It's great to level there until 15ish then head to unrest until 20

lmao did that little kid die Swish?

Theoretically, given mobs in the same zone, a level 4 will give 16x XP of a level 1 mob, 4x XP of a level 2 mob, and 1.78x XP of a level 3 mob.

So yes, for those first few levels sticking to white cons is critical.

There's hardly such thing as "too low" for a bard. It just takes longer to kill some things than others.

That said, I would do EK at 18. The spiders are red but killable, or you could just ignore them and pull all the hounds and stalkers and whatnot.
