Suprised with people going "yay ding 8" about 3 hours after they ding 7 so put this together: feel free to comment and abuse.
Hargh's how to get to level 10 as fast as humanly possible.
1. Choose your char, start in Aegirhamn
2. Make a /macro task /say task and stick it in your quickbar
3. Head toward the wooden bridge, stop at the two guards before the bridge and hit your task key. If no luck don't worry just head over and try the female Valkyn guard on the other side. If no luck don't worry, just kill 10 blue cats and you should ding 2.
4. If you need to train go and do it, those that will are: dark or supp specced mystics, aug or mend specced seers, sword specced rogues (not many hunters!), Vikings can go and train in their chosen weapons - although you may want to save your points for L5 when u can get battlesongs/stormcalling/savagery.
5. Visit the solo guard on the bridge again and task - if she doesn’t work ask the 2 at the town side of the bridge - if they don't work head to the tower on the hill and ask those two. Two L2 kill tasks will get you 60% of ur exp total to L3.
*****General kill task tips *****
Don't listen to them when they say, "Head south east" or whatever. There is generally a camp a lot nearer than they say. Get a map and check it out. Like this one http://daoc.warcry.com/index.php/content/compendium/maps/aegirs_landing
If you find you have to run a long way for a task kill any and all blue mobs of that type you see. Tasks are set for blue mobs. If there are none left when you get back to the guard, he won't ask you to go back to that spot and choose a nearer spawn (hopefully). This increases ur chances of getting into a loop. (A good thing)
The reverse of this is true, if you get a great spawn, usually Myggas, DONT kill any blues. This raises your chances of getting the same task again when you return to the guard.
Mygga loops are good. You can level from say level 8 to level 9 inside 10 minutes.
***** Back to the tasking*****
6. When you have dinged 3, hopefully on the completion of a task, ask the guard again while you are there. If no then ask his partner. Don't run and train then go "Doh! Should have asked the guard before I came back!” Ask any guard u pass on the way back to train. If you aren't training then just go around the 5 guards again till you get a task.
7. Levels 3 and 4 tend to be Naive Sjoras. They are a pain coos they are so far (relatively) and if you get the task from the tower on the hill guards u will be spitting chips. Again use the "kill all blues" advise but that won't be easy
8. If you work out how much a takes gives you, e.g. at L4 is should be 1.5 bub or so, leave the last task completion until you are 1 tnl. Then you will ding on the task.
9. With a buffbot L5 should have taken you 1 hour-1hour 30, without I guess 2 hours. Try and ask nicely for buffs at the forge.
10. Level 5: Now u can motor a bit as you do a fair bit more damage. Go thru the same process, asking guards, cutting down on the long runs (musskalan youths for instance) and hoping for mygga loops.
11. Don't listen to anyone that thinks PL is faster. It isn't full stop. There is only one way faster and that would be to be in a PBAOE group that was killing many and fast.
12. End.
