I rerolled on Blackburrow server with some friends last night, so far I'm enjoying it pretty well. TD is some insanely fast leveling and really great loot for the level.

Can't wait to grind some exp/AA in Sebilis just like old times!

You won't be in Sebilis very much except for your epic. The dungeons are vastly underpopulated. Nobody goes there, why? Because between PHs and the chance at getting loot, it's not worth the time. The fact is, I would expect more people to actually want to go there, but sadly, nobody goes there. Nobody also goes to Chardok. Well, I shouldn't say nobody, but the only people who go there go there because of their Epic.

So where exactly do people level and grind AA considering the outdoor zones are 99% solo?

They do solo quests the entire way from 70 to 80. The only real places to "grind" is Karnor's Castle, but the XP just isn't high enough, nor are the AA gains. Sadly, nobody grinds in EQ2 the way people are used to grinding. They grind solo quests like in WoW now. :\ 2-days of non-stop solo questing to go from 70 to 80, it is very lame

Damn, I've been slowly leveling the past month and reached 73. The solo quests are already becoming tedious and I was praying it wouldn't remain this way until 80. Really makes me not even want to log in anymore.

I'm trying to get the fury bot to 70 before I start leveling my brigand again. I'm 30 percent into 69 now, and trying to find more quests to do.

I finished a lot of the ones in that sky zone with the aviaks (damned if I can remember the names.)

Any clues where to go next?

Loping Plains? If not, you're probably going to have to head over to Kunark now and do quests in Kylong Plains. Mobs start to hit a lot harder once you reach Kunark, so be careful about pulling more than 1 there.

Kuriin · 04-04-2008, 07:42 AM

If you're level 69, head to Loping Plains and do a lot of quests, or go to Catacombs.

Bristlebane · 04-04-2008, 10:11 AM

Thanks, I'll check those out.

I was thinking about grinding, but soon realized that'd get old fast. After I killed about 5 or 6 double up mobs, with rested experience and didn't move a percentage point.

Zuuljin · 04-04-2008, 01:35 PM

Is there an option anywhere in game that lets you disable the bobbing while riding a mount? I'm still using the carpet since it rides smooth, but would like to use somethig else, just the constant bob up and down is distracting and makes me sick. =\

Have the station pass and was gonna fool around with this game again, is there a shortage of any of the classes? I hate rolling toons only to find out later their some of the most played classes in the game, I'd rather play a less played class that's welcomed in groups.

Enchanters and bards are both rare and wanted. Shamans are pretty rare also(at least compared to the other healers).

For my sake I hope you are exaggerating.

I'm not. Grouping outside of instances(not dungeons) is dead in EQ2.

Chanur · 04-05-2008, 04:46 PM

Is there a guide that kind of shows what zones to go to for what levels? Directions on how to get there are not bad either. I just started playing again and im level 14 and wanting to start the betrayal quest to swap my Brigand to a Swashy.
