Post your best leveling guide

Dark Elf starting zone
1-10
South Ro
10-15
Unrest
15-25
Mistmoore
25-35
Lower Guk/Solb
35-50

I'd skip Nek forest due to the limited mobs and go straight to the Freeport newbie yard (either one) 1-5.
North Ro 5-9.
South Ro 10-12.
Unrest 13-24.
Lavastorm 25-30.
Lguk 31-50 (44+ at the Hole when open)

Lavastorm at 25? interesting. Why?

The magma basilisks and swirling smoke in the extreme north. They are like L27 to L32 so you need a group but I've always found a few there looking for more.

I really enjoy Mistmoore as well but unless you bring your own group or get lucky you may spend half the night getting trained and rezzed. The same can be true to a lesser extent for Sol A/B, though they are good xp spots as well.

The revamped zones (like commonlands, misty thicket, desert of ro, lavastorm) have insanely fast spawn timers. I think Lavastorm in particular has instant repopping mobs in some areas but I could be wrong

Use to be 1 - 46 wine quest
But phinny ruined it.

1-5 Everfrost
6-11.5 Kurn's tower
11.6-24 West Karana
24-30 Iceclad Ocean
30-32 Mistmoore
33-38 Crystal Caverns
39-42 Kith at night
43-49 Tim Deep
50-55 Burning woods
56-60 The Deep non AoE grp

You're welcome

Wine quest on server launch with no plat? Interesting.

May want to clarify if you are posting a list for Mangler, selo, or both. Selo starting in luclin has zones available that Mangler won't.

1 - 4 G Fay
4 -12 CB
12 - 28 Unrest
28 - 45 L Guk
45+ Wait for Kunark and make a new toon.

Some of us can make plat like no tomorrow on a new server.

Stay on eastern antonica or faydwer pretty much the whole way up. Don't bother too much with money making, sell your bone chips/animal pelts/orc scalps/whatever using channels and parcel and keep grinding upwards, let someone else worry about making 5 plat for a trip to high keep, later on a single mob will drop more.

There are several early spots for cash, I guarantee they'll be surrounded by greedy players, instead just plop yourself down wherever there are ample mobs, don't worry too much about the "ideal" zones, especially after the ZEM restructuring.

On selo wuld it save time later on to xp in shard zones (some of them anyway). To beat the shard bottlenecks for vt?

1-20 Crescent Reach
20-35 Blightfire
35-46 Gunthak/Dulak
46-70 Group with a 70 zerker and have them do rip disc pulls.

As an Iksar necro on Selos:
FoB 1-8
Kurns 8-12
Unrest 12-28: Begin charm abuse
LGuk 28-45: Abuse charm the whole way
HS 45-54: Abuse charm the whole way
54-60: Open to suggestions for necro charm locations (Ssra basement? ToFS?)

I expect to duo with a SHM the whole way at a minimum.

Mangler only changes staying in LGuk to 50 instead of 45

Newbie zone: 1-8
Paludel: 8-22
SolA: 22-32
SolB: 32-40
CoM: 40-45
HS: 45-55
GE: 55-60

Mangler:
Newbie zone: 1-8
Secondary Newbie Zone (QHills, SRo, Misty Thicket): 8-15
EK: 15-24
SolA: 24-32
SolB: 32-45
OOT: 45-50

I spent alot of time in HS on my necro, you can go to 60 there fine, although it obviously starts to slow down. Im not sure if mines would be better, but you'll be running into the hardcores there for shards.

Are you just duoing, or grouping together? B/c going to unrest/lguk as just a duo is gonna be hard with how crowded those will be.

North Ro
Upper Guk
Lower Guk

All ya need to win the race. Definitely not the most interesting though!

On Mangler hope the hole is open by the time you hit 44ish stay there until 50 .
