If you went to a zone like Blackburrow, you'd have to find a bind in Qeynos and then slay hundreds of gnolls to get enough faction to enter Qeynos and even then you might not be able to train, sell etc. At like 12-14ish you can do Unrest until Mistmoore, etc, but those zones are all near good hubs. It's better to stay near your hometown in the lower levels since you have more skills to train (parry, dual wield, etc all come early, but there isn't much to train later on so you can be a bit more independent).

However the higher end dungeons are right in your backyard. Upper Guk is right next to Grobb and Nagafen's Lair (SolB) is right by Neriak.

Thanks Mardur! I am a little nervous on how my first grouping experience will go with Porgat being in newbie gear. I have taken your advice and plan to venture into Upper Guk first. I will be on some time tonight LFG. Hopefully he will have a successful trip if he can get a group there. Time to punish some Frogloks!

By the way, I meant to say Lower Guk for the higher end dungeons but you probably noticed that. Not sure what the Upper Guk population is like nowadays. Back when the server first came, there were tons of ogres and trolls fighting the newbie stuff at the entrance (and even some erudites etc who made the journey, upper guk has a huge experience bonus). Unfortunately now most people only do the higher end camps in Upper Guk meant for 15+. You may need to carefully solo the frogs outside in Innothule and the very entrance of Guk. But be careful, you don't have to go very far inside the dungeon before running into higher level frogloks and (the worst) casters. Always fight near the zoneline when soloing in there.

Don't forget, bind wound = more exp per hour when you're soloing. Buy bandages and use the skill whenever you can (under 50% hp), it'll pay off. Even at higher levels you should be able to solo dark blues while waiting for groups, but it's the downtime regening back HP that absolutely kills you.

Porgat arrived back to Grobb fully supplied and ready to practice the new skills that Guntrik has taught him. Porgat excitedly set out for Upper Guk, were the root of the infestation has been reported. Porgat knew he must not enter alone as Upper Guk is a dangerous place. He began his search for companions to assist him in his quest. During this time, Porgat met an interesting Norrathian that bound his soul in the city known as Grobb. This is the first time Porgat has lost that tie to his hometown Oggok. Porgat was grateful to this little blue Norrathian as he planned to battle here for quite sometime.

Not long after his search for companions outside of Guk, Porgat met two magical creatures that too were on a quest for Upper Guk. These were interesting characters indeed. Porgat has never heard so much wonderful strange music in his life. He certainly wasn't in Oggok anymore! Porgat and group boldly entered Guk axe and instruments in hand, ready for war. They battled fiercely but eventually had to admit defeat. Frogloks of Upper Guk proved to be a challenging adversary. Porgat though defeated, was not ready to give up the fight.

Even so that the great new musical friends he made had to depart, he continued to search for more adventures while honing his skills in Innothule Swamp. This is when he met a friendly tiny creature with hair growing on it's feet. Porgat was no stranger to the world any longer. Porgat recalled meeting a funny little Norrathian like this before. With the magical spells placed upon him, Porgat was once again moving with great speed and covered in bristly briars that made it impossible for foes to trump him. Porgat was starting to grow very fond of these hairy little creatures. With this assistance, Porgat entered his 8th level of training.

Porgat's search for a band of adventurers to battle the powerful Frogloks of Upper Guk was proving to be difficult. Porgat though was not disheartened, he continued sharpening his skills.
He continued to grow more wealthy off the bounty of his defeated enemies and protected by the generous gifts of other Norrathians. Porgat was very grateful for the assistance, he was starting to become a powerful warrior most definitely!

Porgat felt like king of the hill as he proudly held his new Beetle Stinger in hand!

Just before Porgat ended his search for the night, an unlikely companion arrived to assist Porgat in his battle for Upper Guk. This dark Norrathian had the power to control the undead. With his assistance, the Frogloks of Upper Guk suffered a great blow to their growing population.

Porgat ended the night feeling satisfied. Though the battle hasn't been won, he knew that as long as there was danger in the world he would be there to fight it. Porgat reflected on his meager beginnings and how far he has come.
