Paladin at level 24 - Where to go?

[Ravager]

If you figure out a rhythm, goblins in Runnyeye on the second floor are blue to 30, drop bronze, fine steel and black iron. Can pull to the third floor where nothing assists.

That's perfect, thank you.

Warslik's Wood is my favorite laid back 20-30 leveling zone. This area lacks undead, but it's severely underused and stress-free.

20-24 - Iksar Bandit Camps scattered through the zone
25-30 - Brute Caves right outside Dalnir
25-30 (Alternative) - Solo/Duo the Giant Fort

If Kunark isn't your thing, I would try to make your own groups in Upper Guk and take advantage of that big ZEM. There have been quite a few players taking this leveling path lately so there's a decent amount of people to form a party with. Oasis is nearby to poach replacements from whenever the time comes. South Karana has been another one of my favorite laid back places to level. The Aviak village is dripping with nostalgia and decent exp!

Warsliks Woods, go into the brute tunnels and head down to the Crypt of Dalnir zoneline.

The skulking brutes are very managable, there are plenty and can be single pulled carefully without lull. I did this with my paladin until -30ish and it's the exact kind of slow paced soloing you are looking for. No casters, right at a zoneline in case of trouble. You might even pick up the occasional Dalnir group like I did if you get bored.

You might need a couple more levels though, they're level 22. The cons are that it's pretty out of the way (you might need to use an invis pot to get down to the dalnir zoneline) and that they don't drop much for loot.

Wow that sounds perfect. Could I fight my way down?

I agree with some of the people above that the brute caves outside Dalnir are a great place to level. I've taken about 4 characters through their late 20s there on both the blue and red server. The problem with it is, I think the secret is out on it a bit, and it can really only support two people hunting there; maybe even just one if they are really twinked. Couple with the fact that it is one of the most isolated places in the game makes it a real pain to check only to find it camped.

On my paladin several years ago, I soloed it up to 50, but the server population was much lower back then. I did tentacle terrors in najena up to 26 or so (there's 4 possible spawn points that I know of, two guaranteed and two that can spawn skeletons or terrors). When you get a little higher, it's possible, but dangerous to do the black widow spiders and skeletons that are deeper in najena. Then I did the brute caves in WW to 31, and then the entrance area inside of Paw until 36 or so. Then I went to the shoreline of Firiona Vie and stayed there until like 42 or higher.

Soloing all the way up with a paladin is very possible, but very slow. Best of luck to you!

Maybe, just have to watch the wanderers. Worst case you could train them to dalnir.

Thank you! I'm not so concerned about the speed of which I level. I came back to enjoy the experience, so no big. I'm not anti-social, I just don't like having limited time and no options to gain some experience when I'm around. Ahh remembering the days of being LFG in Sebilis for 2h before you could even get some exp. Haha.

Cheers.

I am now 30. I'm still grinding on good ol Giant Skels in Rathe Mountains. Safe exp, easy to fear kite them, and marginally lucrative. But I imagine at 31 (when I'll probably stop), they'll be not as worth it to hang around. I checked out Cazic-Thule because the memories were awesome there. But it was literally empty. Tried to grind on some alligators but I wasn't so successful due to simply how many there were. Was tough to get a foothold in there.

I'm going to check out the entrance to Paw at 31, like Sepulveda suggested. Anyone else have some decent solo areas around low 30s?

Cheers. You've all been very helpful.

I'm feeling that presently. As a level 26 rogue untwinked (first character on server) I most defiantly cannot solo, and mistmoore has a grand total of 1 camp for my level range (pond near zone in) so I usually end up waiting 2-3 hours on some list. Making me about ready to quit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
