Leveling 55+

[PatChapp]

55 Mage here,been doing seafuries and they really slowed down at 55. Any decent spots anyone can recommend? Tried raptors in TD, didn't go well.

Can usually get a duo partner.

Rats in The Hole as a duo or trio are my fave. Maybe you can just get a good puller to feed rats to your pet.

Lvl 55 is like a triple hell lvl, its very slow, like 59

I think i did felwithe guards or the dwarf in bb. I know its cringey but i have a yt channel documenting my journey as a 58 necro so far and i show a lot of different camps. Skyfire by bw zl good also and kelethin guards. Look up my name on yt for more info tho i am a necro and you are a mage. Lower guk might be ok too

All the killable guards basically green out 55+ sadly. Your experience gain tanks heavily. That is why leveling 55+ starts getting kind of annoying, a large chunk of options start to become too slow.

Good 55+ spots (not necessarily caster specific):
Wakening Lands Armors/Goos/Geos
PoM Rat Maze is aMAZEing
Hole
Two level 50 giants under fort in Frontier Mountains with 6 min respawns.
Howling Stones (especially Necro/Enchanter)
Neriak Ogre/Troll Arena trainers

This is a great list, I'll add some suggestions as well.

- Seafuries is still the fastest exp to 57 you're going to find solo, I know it slows down, but it slows down everywhere. Stick it out if you can. It's great money too; approximately 300p an hour.

- City guards work fine until 56, then they stop being worthwhile.

- Skyfire mountains is decent at 55 and 56, but there is a learning curve to soloing there ( Pro tip: bring fire resist, 170 is what you need, plus you'll need it later )

- The goal is to hit 57 for Greater Vocaration: Earth, even nerfed this is the spell that will get you to 60 solo. Once you hit 57 two fantastic options open up.

- Brownies in Lfay - These are hard to split since you always get two the first time, the trick is to instant click refresh Scars of Sigil in your first gem slot to burn one down quickly, then summon a new pet to finish the second mob. Don't forget to dispel the Brownies or your pet will die to DS too quickly. This camp is excellent for 59.

- Lava Duct Crawlers in Solb - You will need 170 Fire resist and 150 Magic resist for this camp, this may seem daunting but it's not as hard as you think. The seafury money will help here. There is also a steep learning curve, finding out which pathers move where and how to handle to inevitable two pull you need to do to break the Stone Spider room. If the Stone Spider is up when you get there, don't bother. But otherwise you can solo six LDC's every 20 minutes. The Stone Spider is another animal, but totally doable with chain petting.

Good luck!

These are great ideas! However, I'm curious about Skyfire mention: did you really get decent XP there?

I've tried that zone many times over the years (both here and on live); between the hassle of pulling, the mountains of hit points on the mobs, and the low ZEM, it's always been worse XP than any other option.

So, I'm not trying to call you a liar [You must be logged in to view images.

Honestly I hope it's the latter, as it's always felt like such a waste of a zone to me.

Even with the bug to pet aggro? I don't think is viable any more is it?

Note quite. There are 4 level 45 dorf guards + Nyzl that will take you to 60 in BBM. Two of those guards come with their level 40 buddies, but the dock guards can be pulled solo. I actually dinged 60 off of one of those guards.

Upon investigating these bearded axe wielders, the wiki states the dock gate guards and Dunn (guard hut nearest docks) are "Resistant to Magic" and that Rundul (guard hut nearer to Kaladim) is "Immune to Magic".

Does this mean that they just have very high magic resists? or does it actually mean that they are truly Immune, as the page states for Rundul... I can't imagine that one is distinctly different from the others, but Rundul's page also gives different stats for AC, HP, and dmg dealt per attack.
I would tend to believe that all 4 are all essentially the same, and since the 3 others are identical, I would think they represent the most accurate info- I'm guessing someone posted info on Rundul's page and it just has not been updated with the most accurate data.

I just wanted to be able to formulate a game plan before attempting to rid the world of some smelly ol dorfs, in the process of finding decent grind spots as I'm about to ding 56.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
