Poll: What will be your early leveling region be in Green?

[Chryorn]

Ok... I will make a Wiki account and purge all info about Lavastorm and everything related to it from the Wiki.

Shouldn't Highpass / Runnyeye be moreso Misty / Kithicor?

Neither Highpass nor Runny are "early". More like 15+. Or 10+ at a bare minimum.

Same with UGuk / CT. CT is not an early zone...

Lavastorm isn't really either

[zaneosak]

Najena is such an underrated zone for XP. I hope it gets some play on green for groups. Great XP Bonus, some cool loots and an interesting mix of mobs (elementals, humanoids and undead) There is some mild annoyances though.

Better learn where the pit traps are
Also dat NPC HIE will wreck most appropriate lvl evilS near MoosH

Based on all of the options, it seems like OP defines "early" as like the first 20 levels or so of the game. I.e. what general area do you plan to spend the first 1/3-50% of the game in, if any.

Personally, as I plan to try an Enchanter for the first time, I am planning to bounce around. Since I have to go to HK at level 8 for my pet spell, I'll start on Faydwer and then do the next several levels in Befallen/Orc camps or in BB/Karanas (since I'll be swinging by Qeynos after HK to do parts of the Stein of Moggok quest).

I'd say starting zone applies to at least 12 when people start to get bind

Plenty of early plat to be made leveling on bandits, sash quest tough to beat.

If I were troll/ogre, I'd consider Lake Rathe bandits, nice spot next Rathe Mountains zone line. Can't do the sash quest but ogre merchants next to a bandit camp is pretty nice. Also a good lidzardman spot in Rathe Mountains near vendors, could also farm those big beetles but i'm not sure when they were added. Some other decent early-ish lizardman/orc camps in these zones. I assume all the prime spots will be shit shows early on, gotta start thinking about spots the masses won't run to. Not sure what these zones were like at launch though, might be completely different for all I know.

I use to consider places while leveling for a "no bullshit/out of the way" leveling guide for groups, sadly a lot of places were on Kunark.

IIRC, those Bandits actually do occasionally drop the sashes, so technically you could do the sash quest. The issue becomes that the sashes don't stack and it's a long run to Qeynos once your inventory is full of them...so if you're trying to min/max your EXP and cash per hour for instance, it might be better just to stay and keep killing bandits and selling their loot to the Ogre merchants instead of running to Qeynos. The camp at 7 is honestly one of the better camps in the game IMO because you can bind at the Lake Rathe Arena and you have merchants right there to vendor.

The Jboots drop in Najena buddy.
It will have 50+ people 24/7.
