I can't really leave the region because I need to train my skills in Cabilis (though the same can be said for human needing to train in Qeynos/Freeport only). I'd be KoS virtually everywhere on the iksar as well. And, for twinking purposes, getting items to Field of Bone is a much larger hassle than Qeynos or Freeport. And of course, the xp penalty.

Keep in mindy training isnt limited to Cabilis as an Iksar. Example: Brother Zeph in Rathe Mountains will allow you to train. Honestly its not a huge deal. Field of bone is a great place to level till you can hit Lake of ill Omen. After Lake of Ill Omen you can typically find at least one group in Frontier Mountains or Overthere.

If your goal is to achieve max level as quick as possible as a twink, then having a friend Power Level you should be just as easy as gearing out your low level monk. Dont worry about the xp penalty and enjoy the game.

Qeynos has easy starting zones till mid teens, then youve got to run through the Karans, you're better off starting in FreePort as a human for access to east commons and the large amount of groups typically there. Mid to late teens you'll find yourself going to Lake of Ill Omen anyway.
