Out in the Open! (places to level)

[Neme Sis]

I have looked over the board and everyone is directing folks the same old places. I have just leveled up (untwinked) on a new server. I went from 1 to 51 in a matter of about 7 weeks without staying on 12 hours a day. Here is my suggestion:

1 - 12 Do all the newbie quests. Good Armor, Good Experience, 'nuff said.
12 - 14 orcs at Highhold pass (not ready to solo yet). Buy orc scalps in Greater Fay and turn in to captain for faction once you are not KOS. Good Money.
14 - 20 Paldudal Caverns and Highhold Keep.
20 - 24 Merus Seru - SOLO! Yes, young necro you have arrived!
24 - 28 OT - SOLO! Just stay close to the outpost and book.
29 - 32 Dawnshroud Peaks. Animals solo, Tribal guys in groups.
32 - 36 Iceclad Ocean at the docks. You have arrived again! Kill cougars till you are blue in the face! LOTS of money! LOTS of exp!
37 - 42 Great Divide Frost Giant Scouts near the EW zone. Get that Prayer Shawl 2! (filled in with some EW stuff at the Ry'gor for money and the animals for Prayer Shawl 3!)
43 - 46 Hill Giants in Rathe Mountains. TONS of cash. 1K per level. 1 Level per day.
47 - 48 Great Divide... just 'cause you have to. Careful not to kill things to hurt your outpost faction. Important!
49 - 51 Back to Gread Divide! Kromriffs behind the fort. Sell Heads and Toes. Look for whiskers on the poochies. Kill, kill, kill.
51 - as many AA points as you can stand - Cobolt Scar. Make 10% into the level in about 15 minutes with snare and fear. Then kick 100% to AA for as long as you can stand it!

You will notice most of the zones are outside. Dark, Fear, Sick Pet. Stay near zone lines. Learn the pathing and pull to a path that gives you the most time.

Half way through the Rathe Mountains experience, you should be able to afford a dino (the cheap one). Get it! It is a necro MUST!

By the time you are done with the Frost Giants the second time (at lvl 51), you will be at least dubious to the wyverns and drakes in CS. At 51 and dubious, you can single pull with 1 Dark, Fear, Sick your pet, and the mob dies. 1% AA per kill... forever!

Enjoy!

I like the guide... gave me some ideas for the future, thanks

Found out last night that I can solo the guards in HoH.. argo kited them. Takes some time.. but I get a blue and a half AA per kill.

Just someplace else to think about.

Do tell more.

Down and dirty.... here ya go...

1. make sure you either have RS3 or sow potions
2. Pet guard or pet hold command.. turn taunt off
3. If you can find a mage to summon focus gear, it will help.
4. these dont drop jack.. but the exp is nice!
5. self buff with force. no componet mana regen and damage absorber.. just in case!

I use Saryrn's companion, with a second one suspended.. just in case.

When ya zone into HoH... there is a big open area off to your left side.. perfect for argo kiting. On innitial pull, darkness then run.. feign. This splits the first 2. The dotted one will wait, the non-dotted one will sniff at ya.. then walk away. FD split.

Jump up, run.. I use splurt, dark plague, then send in pet.. stay out of rangethen FP and saryrn's kiss. With the mage gear, starting dots are at 700 damage per tick.. and goes up with splurt.

at 50 health, recast darkness, even if you think it will last.. FP should be about worn off by now, and the mob will not like you at all, more so because you just snared him again.. recast FP.. this will take the mob to about 5ish percent.. It takes about 2 min per kill..

You can pull mobs from the inside.. at 63, the smaller squires are light blue, bigger guards are dark blue.

exp is sweet.. 1aa about evey hour and a half.

What's HoH? Also, I never been to Cobalt Scar. You need a key to enter the zone? Where do the quest starts? And also, what is the best way to get there? I guess we should bind in the zone if you die or something...

Thanks in advance,

HoH is Halls of Honor. 62 to enter the zone unless you are flagged.

The best way to Cobalt Scar in my opinion is to buy a port from a druid.
