Bard swarm spots

[enjchanter]

So I have a 22 bard who is swarming in OT currently but wanna find a spot to move to when OT dries up

Gimme your best suggestions for a newb bard !

Bonus points for uncontested spots

I liked LoIO. The higher level skeletons were great xp from 25 or 26 until 30.

Lvl 28-46 if you aren’t in FV you are doing it wrong

If you’re swarming at all, you’re doing it wrong and missing out on the true fun of playing a bard. I regret swarming off/on up to 45. The levels were fast (stupid fast) but I missed out on some really fun levels 15-45 ... time I could have and should have spent in groups.

Enjoy the ride ... the game is not more fun at 60.

According to his sig, this is not his first rodeo with the 1-60.

Swarming isn't wrong. I group when I need breaks from it. It's fun to invite friends to leach off of you also. Maybe not the most efficient EXP while grouped, but at least you can show off a bit.

At 18 I went to NK and swarmed as many beetles I could find for a few levels near, but not too near, the wizard spires. This helped me to get some experience in it, and a screw up didn't kill me. It'll give you some practice, and help you decide if swarming is something you do want to pursue.

Edit - lol, overlooked the 22 bard bit. Still a decent tip for another new bard looking to explore it.

(If you call it swarming and not AE kiting you're doing it wrong and swarm kiting doesn't work on p99)

You're probably right. I believe AE kiting has become swarming in many of our brains. I was talking about a swarm of beetles, however... hmmm. Semantics.

Yeah I mean I do agree with you, but like Meiva said, if this guy hits 60 itll be my 5th and drudging through xp highway just doesnt have that charm anymore heh ...

Bard is actually 30 now and I'm getting adjusted to kiting in FV which is crazy fun , think I can stay here till 45 I heard ?
