Quad kiting the wizards true power, you will level faster than just about any class in the game. At 19 you can quad beetles in NK without Jboots, they are slow enough to out run on foot, strafe running makes this even easier. It helps to have your Staff of Temperate flux to quad, do the Sol Ro temple quest, if you have 44 mage should be easy.
NK beetles to 23-24th
After that your gonna need Jboots.
I did SK treants till 39th after that, but will you take Qeynos and Druid ring faction hits. You dont need Jboots for Treants, plus wizards destroys treants, fire spells own them. Awesome loot an xp too, and only a 4 min spawn. Can take 1 treant till about 29th, then you can take both till 39th.
Then quad guards EK or WK till 49th.
Spirocs in TD till 51.
Raptors in TD till 60.

Thank you for the advice. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I'll give quadding those scarabs a try. I'm 20 now and have been doing crag spiders right now but those look fun. I do think I need my project lightning spell first though?

I'm not caring much about faction as my wizard is a dark elf Innoruuk follower. I can port in a few levels to the one and only city I really need to care about. xD

I am definitely using my mage for helping the wizard though. I have him camped in SRo atm logging on every 9pm hoping for a shot at the ring, as I found out recently you can MQ JBoots to yourself. After that I plan on using the mage to get my wizard his staff of tempflux. I've also just been farming plat with him in Rivervale during later hours. Wizard is already kinda twinked out and I'm not done.

Lol anyone trying to monopolize all the guard spawns with a quad is a total ass

Those EK guards? I rarely see anyone there. When I was leveling my mage, the EK guards were usually around my 4th choice of leveling for the day when I'd check my usual spots, the kind that are almost always ended up being camped on a Saturday afternoon.

I don't think many folks should mind if I'm quadding those guys and no one is there. I'm always willing to talk it out and compromise with folks though. I don't think I'm an ass.
