What's with all the CoM requests I'm getting?

Its essentially Karnor's 2.0 but a heck of a lot less convenient. You'll almost never get a group as an underleveled / undergeared paladin there. Clerics can go there in their 40s but any other class really should be 54+ and melees ought to have their OT hammer before even zoning in.

As soon as you jump down you're going to encounter rock golems which will smash your face in without a high level slower. Small low 50s groups or soloers can certainly do the entrance. If you don't have a ride out you're stuck.

I would do CoM until 50 and head to Karnor's until at least 54, preferably as long as you can stand it. Basement is a fantastic camp with all undead mobs (plus VP key guy, can keep for yourself or sell the MQ). You could also maybe find people XPing in SolB for a change of scenery (or get a couple people together yourself and go do bats n bugs / LDCs / freeti).

I'd strongly recommend paying someone for a strings click and getting your OT hammer before going to Hole.

While a hammer is certainly nice in the hole once you get established at docks there is no need to leave for levels! There are at least 3 camps very close to the docks that you can get going or join. Also one thing many don’t realize is the zone out room is very close to the docks, I can easily run there on my warrior and zone out before I’m at 75% hp.

IMO with the gearing and population on blue shifting around the level ranges are more like:

40-48 CoM (you can come earlier and stay later but for grouping this is pretty optimal) xp drops off sharply if you don’t have a really high DPS group pushing into moat area as you get closer to 50.

48-55 KC - though many are coming as low as 45/46. While this isn’t the best level it’s usually pretty slim Pickens and any extra heal/DPS/buffage goes a long way in a duo or trio.

Hole 51-60 - You can definitely do and entrance group with a bunch of upper 40s but you will need someone high enough to slow golems as they can be up to lvl 54 hit like a truck and have loads of hp.
