<div>Howdy,</div><div> </div><div>I have been playing for about 3 weeks now and all of it on Venekor server.  I play really off the wall hours and amounts due to my family and job. </div><div> </div><div>I am a 28 Conj with adept 3 Soldier and Def Stance.  Most other spells are ap4 or Adept 1.  My gear is actually kinda sub par, but I devote more to my spells than gear.</div><div> </div><div>I have been hunting in Upper Tunnels in splitpaw due to the instance and mobs are good levels.  I am wondering if there are better places for me to hunt solo on a PVP server that will net better benefits?</div><div> </div><div>I tried a few ^^^ lvl 18-19's at 27 and they actually seemed to give great exp.  Am I better off looking for mobs like this or staying where I am at? </div><div> </div><div>Any ideas on places to hunt for loot/exp would be great and muchly appreciated. </div><div> </div><div>ps:  I tried Summoners Tower but most of their info is outdated and the board doesnt seem used that much.</div><div> </div><div>Thanks again</div><div> </div><div>Chastity</div>

<div>you should focus on groups of mobs, not one ^^^. These take too long in most cases to be a viable method of exp, and you could potentially get more exp in the same amount of time. I think they said to focus on groups of mobs (still get the bonus exp) and single ^ mobs. I dont remember what exactly they said, but thats what i can recall. Also, grouping will always provide better, faster exp over soloing.</div>

<div></div><p>Thank you for the response.</p><p> </p><p>Grouping is definately better.  Being on a PvP server grouping is actually a very time consuming process.  Getting everyone together, getting to the spot, hunting, fending on a freeport attack, wipe, reassemble, now everyone wants to get revenge rather exp..etc.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>I just don't have that much time in 1 sitting.  I can usually manage 3-4 hours a day, but it's spread over 1.5 to 2 hour sessions.  If I waste an hour getting set up I am making less exp.</p><p> </p><p>It seems to me that groups of 1 down give less exp or similiar exp as a single 1 up or even.  Not sure on that though.  Any help is greatly appreciated.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Chastity</p>

<div>I've only done the pvp thing for a little while on my necro, and I see your point about the grouping,revenge, etc.</div><div> </div><div>Im not sure about the exp from a group of 1-down as opposed to a single^. I guess look for groups of 2, 3, or 4 regulars, where you can root and tank. It seems to me like these would provide the best exp (the groups of gnolls in antonica near BB at lower levels are a good example of these). I suppose giants or centaurs in TS if you dont mind faction hits.</div><div> </div><div>Also, questing will net you the most exp from my experience. I can grind out a lot in a short time in a good froup pve, but turning in 10 quests will most likely get you around 20% at your level (depending on the quests). I just turned in 6 collections for 10% at level 68 yesterday.</div><div> </div><div>Also, look for discoveries. 40% in an hour today. Plus a few AA's <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

<div></div>I don't like PvP .. but i can say that Upper Tunnels was always a good Zone to make good cash and decent Exp .. so if your always in danger to get jumped and just want to level/farm a little bit on a PvP Server i think Upper Tunnels would really be a very good choice <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div><div></div><p>I find that killing the ^ ^ ^ heroics is very nice exp and (IMO) it is much easier managing 1 mob vice 4. I am always looking  for Yellow ^  or Yellow/White ^ ^ or</p><p>Green ^ ^ ^ Heroics (Single). Best exp and still sometimes challenging.  </p><p>Message Edited by Trook on <span class="date_text">03-29-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:10 AM</span></p>

<div></div>Green Heroics give normally bad Exp compared to what you can kill on blue/white/yellow single mobs in the same time .. also as Conjurer if you want to kill heroics groups are normally much better because of your AoE spells. Very good solo exp at over 30 are btw. the groups of two beetles/wasps/ bears in EL .. however if your in EL you should also do the chain quests there <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

When you still feel like soloing (youre a summoner after all), that place is just nice (splitpaw) since its instanced and you get a lot of mobs there. Its not like a grps xp but its more than fair.<div></div>
