Teek - Leveling Paths

If you don't spend time in Blackburrow, you are missing out on the greatest newbie dungeon of all time! The ambience, sounds, zone design all make it amazing!

Just make a qeynos character to level in BB. You will thank me later!

I'm looking at staying close to Cabilis initially until I get some PP to be able to purchase spells and move further away, with spells in my bags ready for use.

Anyone know what the /pickzone number to spawn a new zone is for field of bone or kurns? If that number is high, its going to be...interesting

they make medication to help with that

Permafrost king was camped a lot on Mischief during classic - as it had 4 named spawns in one spot all lvl 30/31 so can drop DE mask, Pegasus Cloak etc. Would have been more, but remember Permafrost was not popular even in the good old days for expping due to it being in the corner of nowhere, so I think many didnt even know about these 4 spawns (most know only the king and priest maybe)

They say most people suffer from an optimism bias and negative people tend to have a far more realistic view of the world

Until they decide the world is ending in 2 years...again...and again.
But back to the topic, the best paths will include leaving the newbie yards as quickly as possible. After that it is a choice between loot and having more mobs to kill.

Lighten up, Francis. This isn't some new and unknown ruleset we are talking about. No one was locking down all the camps on Mischief, and it will happen even less on Teek, as we now know there is no point in spending oodles of plat on any piece of gear since it can so easily be camped at half a dozen different locations.

The only camp we are going to have a hard time accessing is the character select screen as everyone sits in hours long queues.

You do seem a bit grumpy today.
It's Friday. I'm optimistic you may have a good weekend.

Persona's?? I remember hearing something about this... What is this sorcery? How does it work? Will it be on the TLPs?

It has to be pretty high because FoB is a large zone with a lot of mobs. I would guess it might even be higher than Gfay, Nek Forest, and such...maybe on par with the Commonlands?

I believe it is around 50 like Warsilk Woods.
Should easily have x2-3 picks of it given the number of Iksars being made.

Nothing has changed here gang.

The best exp path for leveling for decades now is FoB > Kurns > Unrest > Velks > GE > 60+ hell levels and your screwed everywhere unless you can get flagged for pofire somehow...

Obviously the last 2 are out so sub in chardok and seb which both have pathetic exp compared to velks and ge.

If your not racing to get max level you will get left behind by the masses who are so if you plan to eventually raid where flags are needed you might be sol by the time you catch up because they might be done with that content.
If you don't care about raiding, then play however you want.

Random look drops means any named camp is fine, no need to camp specific mobs anymore.
Unless they change random loot and make it work correctly, which I have not heard they are going to do.

Random loot done correctly would be normal loot that drops on the mob, with double drops, then 1-2 additional drops that are random from any named of the same level in the same expansion.

Straight up random everything is straight up stupid and will lead to people not getting specific items they need for their class which will ALWAYS be overpriced from players looking to benefit from the poorly implemented system of random loot.

It is much easier to get flagged for raids on the free trade ruleset, it was on Mischief. Then with personas where flagging is shared between your personas, demand will go down for the flag mobs anyway.

If you're an iksar, sure.

If you aren't you will get left in the dust going this route.

Lolol you can take your time getting to max level and still get to raid content just fine in era. This was true on Mischief and will be true again.

Iksars get 5 newbie zones (East Cabilis being the 5th), but yeah - FoB will no doubt be the busiest one.

I'm gonna be boxing so usual route to lower guk
But the interesting part is City of mist, Karnors and Seb can be accessed much earlier, which is going to be pretty awesome. Can pretty much go to karnors at 40, seb then chardok to 60. Far better than being stuck at lower guk or hole for far too long

One thing to remember with the random loot rules is *all* rare spawn mobs will drop level appropriate loot, and lots of it.

All those named wandering in Kunark Zones that never used to drop a thing suddenly start dropping 3, 4, 5 or more items. Good gear will be rotting in less then a hour of camping any random spot in such out of the way places as Trak's Teeth or Swamp of no Hope.

field of bone is the best newbie zone ever. almost everything drops cash, tons of bone chips + bonechip quest and skeles can drop plenty of weapons including the coveted cracked staff AND a shield that sells for around 1pp

ignore the other crappy zones (LOIO and Swamp) they suck and aren't real starter zones
