How do you eat yours?

[pudzy]

Just wondering how other realms lvl from 40 > 50 and do we all have such a hard time?

In midguard we have Malmohus which is cram pakced of Warewolfs of all kinds, Svartalfs and of course the gay 'dragon' hwo ever you spell the name they've given it . We have 2 spots:-

Yar - names after the warewolf just behind the camped point Yar is the one place in malmo the dragon does'nt patrol and so is most camped with the easier of malmo's ww's to kill (red/purp to 50)

Liar :- Right infront of the dragons liar.

We have 2 groups at each spot usually named .. lol group1 and group2 ! group2 being lvls 40 > 45 group1 45+ - with this there can be a waiting list of in my experience up to 40!!! people. And the worst part of malmo... you have about a 10%chance of making it out alive due to patrols of ww's etc. getting in is pretty damn hard and next to impossible if you have a bad faction with the svarts which by chance hate the ww's so after a while in malmo the svarts are friendly and you can pass through their area quite freely which provides a 'safer' route.

Heres a gay map i made long ago for getting in using the svartalf route

Tell me about your little lands

Albion is a little more complex.

We don't usually touch our Dragon epic zone except for Dragon raids nowadays. You may find groups of early 30s down there killing Dartmoor ponies though.

Likewise with Barrows, our high level dungeon - you can find groups of assorted levels down there, although they're generally the ones disenchanted with Lyonesse. Lyonesse is the exp whorehouse in Albion.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/verismilitude/lyonesse.jpg

From 35-40 ish you will find multiple groups at the Pygmy Goblin house (Area 4), doing pulls of 3 goblins at a time, amongst 4-5 groups during peak hours.

40-45 ish there are the Pygmy Goblin Tangler pulls, 3 camps: The Aqueduct (3), the Tree (2) and the Island (1), in order of magnitude of the number of goblins that come. These are generally full groups with some form of AOE mezz and a couple of nukers. Here you can also find high level sorcs with a pet, or high level cabalists soloing whole pulls. Occaisionally you'll also find an aoe nuker group.

45-50 There's the joyous woodchopping groups otherwise known as Tree groups (5, 6 and 7, roughly). Witherwoodes and woodeworms, again using some form of AOE mezz and a couple of nukers.

Who ever said exping was varied?

 

[maxgirth]

DF when poss but........

Barrows (a dungeon on salisbury plains)aint to bad for xp drops etc,but on nearing mid 40`s witherwoode trees and woode worms are the place to be.

3 seperate tree camps in Lyonesse with nearly agro free access, and upto the arrival of DF very heavily camped with large waiting lists,very boring mind numbing xp jaunts though,I personally avoided them like the plague,but if nothing else is available some nice steady and relatively safe xp can be earnt

 

[Bodzilla]

locations 4, 5 and 6 are wrong on that map Roa

 

[walkerb]

fastest exp is doing goblins from something like 30-50
starting of with 8ppl at goblins going down to 2-3man group at tangler gobs
yes that gets exxxxtremly boering

high level xp in hib..

We got cursed forest from 40+ where the entrance mobs are lvl 50 and get harder as you go in. Includes gorbochends and formorians which are ok xp, then finliaths which are infamous xp spots now in hib.

Sheeroe hills is possible but too much agro and scouting in there that it becomes hectic and very risky, most people just go there for drops, not xp. Unfortunately its almost impossible to make either faction in Sheeroe friendly for too long and also we never encounter them before we get there (unlike the Svarts in Mid) so everything starts agro there. Mobs here are Glimmers and Azures.

Best xp for higher levels (47+) would be deep in the bog of Cullen. banshees, Siabra guardians and archmages and raven wraiths. Banshees are good xp, guardians are awesome xp and raven wraiths vary so much in levels that they could either kill the entire server if you get a bad pull or about 30 full groups could cap xp on them.... or of course a normal pull will be good xp also. Recommended here would be guardians and archmages at the Siabra village..

xp top 3 in hib in my opinion..

1) Siabra village
2) Finliaths (cursed forest or behind Dun Crimthain)
3) Mudmen! nah, Banshees or raven wraiths (if u don't die at the wraiths too much)

Doh yeah, just noticed where I went wrong - 4's more to the right by that house in a lake, and the others are moved around accordingly

You forgot the water beetles, Cornell....
They make a fine stew.

 

[old.Revz]

What they said for Albion : basically pygmy goblins and trees. Of course if you were levelling before a lot of these places had creatures, drops or even existed the path was a little bit different.

Basically you had the Barrows to low 40s (doing wights right at the bottom of it), then when Dartmoor opened we had multiple group raids in there for exp a bit like you Mids seem to do now. That isn't very practical though because as you say it is very hard to join a group that is already in and the place is dangerous to get out of. Once the Barrows got itemised we went back there for a bit and then most people finished off in Lyonesse on trees and pygmies. Of course at the time it was really empty because only SotL and LoE had people high enough level to exp there.

I still remember the shock I had recently when I went back to Lyonesse and saw six groups camping the tangler tree. When I passed through there exping at 30-40 we had one small group pulling the aquaduct and one large group pulling the island/tree. No one had actually started killing trees because we didn't have someone high enough level to mez the adds consistently. Blaen actually dinged 46 very slowly in a full group of 8 at the tanglers and after seeing that we never used full groups there again

In fact I still remember the discussion we had where someone swore blind that trees were good exp according to the US servers and we couldn't work out how because they were so hard to kill without anyone over level 45.

 

[gengi]

If I ever reach that lvl I think I will mostly LEECH

LOL

Later

Gengee

Also agree with what other posters say about Hib spots 25 mil a pop for fins on a lvl 44 bard, not spectacular (eek 25 Million would probably lvl my char) but steady and boring, pookhas behind ligen and the ghouls that come out at night make it a fairly crowded place.

btw, it's MidgARD. Or well, Midgård really, but there's no F***ING u in Midgard.

People still XP in their own realms?

LOL

Umbral Hulks = BEST XP IN THE GAME!

Can baf in up to 3, and caps a lvl 50's XP nearly all the time.

If you run out of mobs, pull the cathonic knights and inquisitors at the doorway.

Or if you want to risk it, the lords and earls etc in the legion area.

Best XP in the game, gets seals and great loot.

3 groups of lvls 45-50 can easily do it if you are sensible and get capped XP in balanced groups.

I use a slightly different route to get in there, it has failed me one time and one time only, that was because i was too impatient to wait for roaming drakulvs to get out of the way just before the safe-zone

The biggest difference is that i dont cross over the valley directly after h-stones.

Also i prefer to save a few seconds by not hugging zonewall until its necessary, in other words just go the straightest way possible thru svartalf-land

I fired up the gimp (Gnu Image Manipulation Program ) and made a modified version of your map.

Here's Freia's malmö route for those who are interested

Oh and my crossover place may not be exactly where marked it, (cuz i dont really know the exact loc for it or anything ) but when the pillars of the lair pop into visual range you should be able to look down and see a drakulv-free zone and thats the place to cross.

Comments?

 

[old.Krusha]

as my alb/pryd toon digned 30 and i heard that lyonesse was the next step to go.. i looked around and posted some questions.. scoured the net for a good map and found this .. very nice one... even comes in a printable one....

And about the lair.. god how im sick of that place... was there from 40-50 (on mid/exc) .. only left a few times to train..... but now in retrospect i wonder why i didnt spare my sanity and went to Raumarik for that period.. better xp and NO lists... tho i tried to get rid of the lair list (USpull rocks )

I don;t remember hulks capping my xp ever. I've never had more than about 60 mil off any of the mobs in DF except legion.

 

[old.tuppe]

has been copple time in malmo and we pull so called US style.
meant we tanks was tight packet and let caster chain pull mobs to us, aemezz and we follow MA.
huge xp and no need worry how spend time
yar and lair, xp is 10 mil and up, dont remember i capped there never?
good speed is if get 1bbl in hour 45+.
tryed copple time trees in rauma but there need too balanced group.

DF is nice xp but as usual hard to find desent group.
malmo is good because that list! just pick up correct persons and start xp, no need send message around and ask if he/she want to join.
but getting malmo! pain, pure pain!

correction, only prydwen albion dont go into dartmoor. on exc they do tanglers till 45 then head into dartmoor (stonelords) till 50.

and trees suck. yep dont waste your time on them.

 

[old.Krusha]

cool tuppe that you actually uses the "us style" i showed it to mid/exc but they never caught on.. they all said the same thing .. "i get shit xp per kill" .. what they didnt see was that they got that xp at a rate of 20X than a "normal" lair pull.. but then again the amount of xp/drop whores in mid/exc is unbelievable (maybe has changed since i left.. who knows )

 

[SilverHood]

most of the drops at lair are pretty shitty anyway, no use at end game

Well, considering this is the Prydwen board I thought it reasonable to speak of Albion in that context

before Epic armor/DF some of the drops were actually usable

It's not "Midgård really" it's Midgard really, can't you read the name in the manual? Please note, DAoC is not written in some random scandanavian language so doesn't have to follow their spellings.

 

[old.Krusha]

that depends all on how close you want to follow Norse mythology Danyan .

But considering the amount of swedish used in midgard like on mobs (Skogsfru, tomte etc etc) and the shape of midgard is like sweden .. and the name of the regions is swedish (jamtland, uppland malmo vanern, skona ... then id say it should be Midgård .. but i guess mythic cant do å,ä,ö

 

[Danya]

The point being though - It's Mythic's game, set in a made-up setting, not Sweden. It may be based upon Nordic myths, but it's not intended to be an accurate representation of them. They could have called it Midguard instead you know...

 

[old.Krusha]

exactly my point

but you COULD think it should be Midgård for the earlier stated things.. but its all about artistic freedom right?

 

[Euthanasia.]

any fool can do å doesn't matter what keyboard they have ..
character map -copy+paste owns you

 

[old.Krusha]

Any fool yes... but what does that make Mythic

 

[leviathane]

and what bout hib land??
