The push to 60

[Raage]

<DIV>So I dinged 50 a little while back (almost a month ago), and spent time since them level ALT's and harvesting, harvesting and then harvesting some more w/ my Monk. I am now ready to push thru to level 60. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question is: </DIV> <DIV>A) Where is a good place to solo @ level 50-ish? I've done some soloing in PoF (level 50-52 scorpians/ birds/ flame torrents) and all I can say is "bleh" .1-.2% per kill WITH vitality. No thanks, I don't wanna solo 1000 mobs to get to 51. Is that about the avg per kill w/ vitaility that I can expect? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>B) What are the hot spots for grps that others around those levels have found? I hear a lot about The Roost, but I'm not sure if it's a vialble option for a lvl 50 character. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any info is good info....for the most part <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

For soloing, do arrow down yellow mobs (shoudl eb able to find plenty in pof).  For groups, do anything above the average group level (like roost if you are all in low 50's).  I never was much of a grinder, but I always noticed xp coming very fast in either of those two circumstances.

There are a lot of quests by the docks in SS. They give good xp and loot. The mobs around SS are good for soloing. The pirate island is good too. Once you get to 53ish, shimering citadel is a great solo spot. Did a few levels there myself. Good xp and loot. Clefts of rujark is good too. Living tombs and silent city after that. Roost is a group instance in clefts of rujark. Fight solo content if you're soloing, it's good xp. Fight heroic if you've got a group. It's good xp. XP is very easy to come by in eq2. <div></div>

0.1-0.2 exp for a solo mob is however normal. A good "spot" are tears grifter instances like "heding our bets" .. if you got that quest don't finish it, just kill all mobs go out and repeat.The good thing is that all Mobs there drop money <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  To save vitality you can also make some ghoul tasks from Akim .. however the exp over 50 is not so good anymore, 1,7% with 50 .. startet with 4.1% at 45.

To me, tears grifters is like harclaves. Fun for a while, but I don't want to spend my whole afternoon doing it. <div></div>

I think it must have been that i played 6 months Lineage 2 before Everquest, that i sometimes can enjoy stupid farming like that for a while <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR>

thanks for the info all...I was hoping ot hit 50 b4 DoF. Which didn't happen. Now I'm hoping I can hit 60 before the NEXT expansion. Which, since it hasn't been announced yet, hopefully won't be an issue <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
