Well i made a ns and realy love playing him, hes only 15 but anyways. I c the differnce in gaining exp though, in my old account i got my bard to 15 in 1 day in good grps, it took me about 5 days for my NS to get to 15, from 10-15 soloing (Buffbot help from guild sometimes or just soloing) I made a chanter to relax for a while from all the stressfullness of soloing and got him 10 in 1 day. Dont care about him though i wanna get my ns high not my chanter, anyways can anyone give me some ideas were i could get exp by lvl ? Im not new to hib but all the chars i made before were grp friendly so it was joining a grp from one region to another It would be nice if someone helps

Thx !

at lvl 15 I liked to xp on curms a ways past pf on way to DC. That should do till round 17

Then you can do north parth farm for nice camp. If you are lvling a buffbot as well, and have cure dis, it will be nice xp. At around 19-20 try xping around tir upholt. If you take horse from ardee jump at tower and look for some nice con mobs. THat should do till 24 or so

 

[myrnith]

* Moss Sheeries past the Curmudgeon camp, don’t pull the ones grouped with clubmoss sherries; watch out at night for ghastly siabras (Tenthar)

17-20

Low-mid 20s
---------
* Faerie Drakes near Caille. Weak to pierce and low HP due to being spellcasters (Wyrd)
- 3 rare shade drops; boots, gloves,& helm (Connavar_Crimson)

Mid-20s
---------
* Bird eating frogs near the Roge just outside Ligen (vn_cswingconn)

22-23
---------
* Hill Hounds near Howth (Eurb)

22-26
---------
* Faerie Drakes. SE of Caille. There are 2 spawns, one has fee lions (BAD BAD) one doesn’t. I suggest the ones that don’t(43k, 42k -- Alchemys)....you should still be able to see Caille from the good one. The bad one is up a hill. (BAD BAD) (Pinog)

* Fairy Drake Hide (non stackable, and has the universal "look this is a quest item" caps) is turned into the Poison Merchant in Ardee (Lexie?) for about 225K xp each at level 23. here is a per level cap on the number she will except, but I got about 1.5 bubs or so per level this way (once I found out to KEEP the Hides and NOT sell them. (Alchemys)

23-24
---------
* Dampwood mites near Innis

24'ish
---------
* Spraggon Den

24-27
---------
* Ants outside Druim Ligen

24-28
---------
* Cave frogs in lower levels of Koalinth Caverns (Zedie)

* Walking rocks near Howth. Nice as you can stealth/PA

25-28
---------
* Mermen near Connla

* River Gobblers (blue/yellow at 27) Vulnerable to pierce. Go to Droighaid in Caillte Garran. Travel west along the river bank. You will see some on the bank but most are in the water. The banks give you a nice view so you can pull with your dd from max range. (or bow, like my hero). They are aggressive, and there are alot of them close together, so these maybe better for the low CS, high weapon, high cd shades. (Fathach)

26-27
---------
* Various Necros in DF, pull, run restealth, PA. (HawkEyed1)

27
---------
* Sword of the Keeper quest: even if you don't use blades, this is a good quest to go on as there's no fighting and you can make 20-25 gold (Charan Jaydemyr)

27-29
---------
* You can do grey spectres in the frontier just N of ligen. Great spot for them, they don't baf, you can pull w/ your DD spell and take 'em that way. I only noticed them at 29 and they were blue/green to me, so level range may be lower than that (vN_cswingconn)

28
---------
* Summoned Urdrocks that live among the rock sheeries a bit east of Koalinth (Eurb)

28
---------
* Plated fiends at entrance of DF (Zoastra)

28-29
---------
* Squabblers in the Gorge (Cue-ball)

28
---------
* For bladeshades, frontier killing ire wolves, vanishers, fee lions, sett dwellers, and greater luch. The only ones I would watch out for are the sett's, they have a big damage bonus to leather (Egantra)

29'ish
---------
* Mist Wraiths in Cliffs of Moher

30’ish
---------
* Fog Wraiths; Mad Changelings at moon lake in bri leith, just above the standing rock with the trackers for the level 20 epic (Tadc_McAed)

31
---------
* Torcans in the Gorge (Cue-ball)

* At 31 you may want to do the Poison for Ivy quest in SI. Easy Solo quest(nothing but Blue/Yellows to kill) you get a choice of nice Ivy weapons, and about a bubble of XP. I got the Siletto DSP 11.7 +3 Pierce +3 Dex +some Quick +Heat Resist. There's also a Rapier and Blades choices. And it's green. Oooo ahhh.(DiscoGobbo_HG)

31-33
---------
* You could do the worm / scragger room in Treibh... (maybe even at 30 if you had new armor, weapons and high piercing skill - near max?) (Ether_DaoC)

32-34
---------
* Gorge rats in Gorge (Stuth)

* Vale of Balor 58k, 58k: sap drinkers, bugbear gnats and hateful sylvanshades. I found the bugbear gnats to drop the fastest and award the highest xp of the three. Sap Drinkers hang out in the river and are neutral and from what I could tell always remained neutral. (WoirXoF)

32-35
---------
* Irewoods in Mt. Collory for bladeshades (wekiote)

34+
---------
* Avernal Quasits, weak to piercers (Whispur)

35
---------
* Sett Dwellers; Goto Mt. Collory and follow the zone wall to your left as you leave the valley. You'll find several areas with sett dwellers. Guard patrols run through the area and its out of the way so the normal gankers are unlikely to stumble on you. (wekiote)

34-36
---------
* Pookhas & Amadans and other local spawn near DL (Pyxx-Wind & VermKind)

35-38
* Twisted Barkstripper/Twisted Sylvan/Corrupted Sylvan Valley in Vigilant Rock (SI). Corrupted have a DOT bleed effect while the Twisted Sylvan have a damage add/shield. (JRave2002)

36-39
---------
* Stuff in CM entrance, juvenile megafelids (Pyxx-Wind)

* while you're killing amadans/pooks keep your eyes out for DORBAL a named amadan. He drops a sweet one time drop the Raiper of the Forsaken: 11.7dps, 2.7 spd +4 Pierce, +3 Parry 100% quality with a DD proc (Piercer). (L1_Wulf)

38-39
---------
* Solo Rock Golems in Treibh. (The Roose)

* Kill worms at entrance to Treibh while waiting for Rock Golems to spawn (Llava)

38-40
---------
* Daehom Aeirs near Innis Carthaig far valley (Pyxx-Wind)

39-40
---------
* Mobs at Corus Mines entrance (HotRabbit)

* Vehemen Guardians of Moher - they look like mutant chickens...they con yellow to oj at 39 and mostly yellow by 40. They do not BAF unless you pull the named one who has an entourage of two. They drop an xp item and VERY nice cash since they're the last mob in Moher that seem to drop $$...I'd say 20s-60s a kill not including chests for multi pulls. (HawkEyed1)

* there are some mobs around Necht. They are NOT pierce vulnerable, but they're not too bad, you can bind right next to the town, and supplies are available right there. Marine Shrillers, Sanidons, and Anglators (?) are good hunting along the shore, and occasionally killing a Sanidon will turn out to be a bait animal (so he goes down in 2 hits) and another similar con mob attacks giving an easy group bonus. (Gilyn)

40-41
---------
* Ollipheists (The Roose)

* Ghostly troll things south of Connla (The Roose)

* Cliff Dwellers (The Roose)

* Phaeghouls in Moher (The Roose)

41
---------
* more stuff in CM (Pyxx-Wind)

41-43
---------
* white boars near Curm camp in DL (Charan Jaydemr)

42
---------
* Grove sentinels in Mt. Collory (The Roose)

* Vehement Guardians <Chickens> by Tir Urphost. Yellow/Orange to me and pierce resistant, have to pull with spell as you can't get in for a PA without massive aggro, but they hit lightly and are weak against pierce. Add in a Str/Con debuff poison (sub 34) and DOT (sub 34) and they go down quick. (detiber)

42-46
---------
* Yggdra Forest: 10k, 15k (most Mids hunt here) -- Boneater Camp. Between the Camp and the zone wall are 4 seperate camps of Shard Golems. Been a while but I am pretty sure thats their name. Ice dudes that walk around there. Most aren’t KOS, and only turn on you if you have low health. They have crap for HP's but do have a nasty proc. Great thing is, most you can line up PA etc. Even better, there are 4 different Camp bonuses to move around on. And heres the best part. Mid hunters and casters solo ALOT at the boneater camp. When your bored of EXP, head over there and pop a few people. Even better, the area you are exp'ing in, never has traffic. I practically soloed there 42-46, never saw one enemy, other then a Inf. (Inlike Flynt)

43-44
---------
* Black Badgers, Deamhan Hounds, and other stuff near siopa in Innis... the badgers and hounds don't like piercing weapons and are a tad easier to kill. Also those bog creepers, corpans and other things around that are medium to high yellows at 44 but still doable now, due to the changes made with the last patch. (Vindraxyl Dragonyr)
- 41/42 these can be done (HotRabbit)

45-46
---------
* Umber bears and undead ghosts near nged (Baedor)

* Molochian Tempters; huge negatives, pierce gets bonus in DF, lvl 45ish (Cue-Ball)

* Loughery Men in Emain (if RvR is not in Emain) (Cue-Ball)

47+
---------
* Groovers and sents. in the mines near pit (Baedor)

* Bugbear Nuisances across the river from Aalid Feie. (+/- monster and seems to be quite vulnerable to poison.....when stacked on enervating, i was getting regular 100+ per tick with lifebane) (Ninhumh)

* Cervideth same area as the Bugbears across from AF. the good thing about the Bugbear/Cervideth area across from Aalid is that the camps are the clearings between trees, and they go downriver quite a bit........lose camp bonus, just move downriver a bit and its a whole new camp (Ninhumh)

48
---------
* Far Darrigs in far valley near Innis (Sljvirion)

* Bloodletters & Earthshakers west of Scaithag (Morphy_Caerdias)

* Tittering Tree Dervishes in Cothrom Gorge (+/- monster, and same vulnerability to poison as previous listed on bugbears) several camps of these along the trail in Cothrom, and easily soloable (even the orange ones) (Ninhumh)

* Granidons in Cothrom Gorge bit harder than Dervs, and minus to peirce.....but its fun to get them to break and shrink down all the way to luri sized. (Ninhumh)

48 (with buffs) - 50
---------------------
* bocanachs near Scaith. They're in a small crater with leafless trees. Most con yellow to me (50) with a sprinkle of oranges. I think 48 with some buffs can handle these mobs and they're all nice and clustered for easy pulling. (Given)
