When was your Sh*ty level?

[Maff]

Well at 31 on my reaver i had the Sh*ty lvl missing like mad and mobs running me close even yellow's.
and at 41 now as well i've got the same Task dungons are been a pain in the ass with the miss rate atm.
(oh i'm 41+9 flex and 35+9 shield and capped on stats)

Just a post to wonder when other people naff lvl's were?
and i'm bord lol

worst level was when I was 32 on my scout back in the day, I was too high for dunters and too low for pygmy gobbos was murder trying to get a group. Especially as a scout, I was shunned and seriously mistreated

 

[Deepflame]

Hmm..
I can't really remember having much problem with exping. My first was a scout, which I got to a whopping 19 before I went and rerolled to Cleric. (Later on I actually got my scout to 50 and ML10 though..)

With my cleric I always had a group, but I guess level 48 was hardest as I couldn't quest around to 50 yet. Had to save all the SI quests for level 49.

After that, my paladin, infiltrator, scout, buffbot, theurgist and my minstrel, well, I can't really recall having a lot of trouble exping. I either had a group sorted, got myself some powerlevel somehow, or ran through Atlantis getting loads of exp from ML raids. (I really recommend starting MLs from level 40, you'll be high ML when you finally ding 50, making the transition from PvE to RvR short!)

Nowadays I get to 40 manually, then 40-48.5ish from TOA ML Raids, then 48.5-50 doing Catacombs quests, Epics and SI quests.

For my Armsman it was levels 42 and 44, god they seemd to take FOREVER!!

Scout was not bad at all.

Necro - PFF!!!!!

Sorc - WAs PL'd by Necro so 50 is my sheety level, bolt range mezz is no match for the 3 tanks purging and sending me back to the sotne age!

 

[eggy]

Before catacombs, and without PL, levels 37-41 are by far the worst. Least amount of decent groups for these levels...too high for barrows, too low for AC.

 

[Thorwyn]

Waiting for a spot in a twee group at level 44-45 ish.

Traumatic.

 

[Jobbegea]

Before Cats level 48 was always the most boring level. Just close enought to 50 to taste it, yet needing to keep my level 48 quests for getting from 49 - 50. The good part was once I was 49, getting to 50 was a breeze.

With Cats? Well, it's been pretty easy to xp apart from my scout. I hate levelling it. Even in a Noddy task dungeon I spend most of my time sitting. If I wasn't so violently opposed to powerlevelling on principle, I would even pay for it to be pl'd.

 

[Darzil]

I can't remember the exact level. It was early-mid thirties on Darzil. I kept getting close to next level, then something random would happen (monsters from deep in the barrows deciding to aggro me at the entrance, etc), and I'd die, whilst fighting the monster that I'd level on if I killed it. About 10 times.

Wierd, Ok, he's only 24 so far, but levelling in Cats against cloth wearing caster Plutonian's has been obscene for my scout. At least 80% of the time, yellows/blues don't reach him, and sometimes the oranges don't either. None have taken him down. Ok, he's spending more on top class arrows than he's getting in drops, but that's ok <grin>. I've found few that level as fast.

[Marchus]

38 39 with my reaver. I couldn't join into AC groups, and that stonehenge dungeon was a bit low for me. If I call back right, Roope helped me to get that 1-2 lvls ^^

same here, always think 48 is the most boring level.

Is he buffed? My scout can tear through ojs and even hold her own against reds if fully buffed. Problem with taking a bb into a task dungeon is the mobs scale up so your fights take longer..

 

[Everz]

My old cabby on us, got hard around 40 cos i respec'd spirit :x

 

[judas]

lvl41-42 grey drop armour from the old zones on crap mobs
pigmys or even twees when lucky

 

[Jox]

As unbuffed critblade my heavy levels were 1-50. Somtimes I had lost xp-bubbles when I logged due to the punishment of death.

I would rather be eaten alive by an army of bloodthirsty zombies than go through that process again...

No buffs. At the moment he's in drop armour, a crafted 99% spellcrafted longbow. Has capped dex, and everything else is a bit meh.

Once he's skilled up to a level of fletching where he can make level 30 bows, he'll have a full spellcrafted set for Thid, and should hunt better too.

I think the trick is hitting caster mobs (who have fewer hits, even though they aren't vulnerable to the arrows, and who stop and try to cast usually, rather than just charging him down).

Heh, 41-42 took about 2 months, nobody wanted to invite to grp and I was cba to solo

 

[Hansmoleman]

I had so many of the damn hard levels on my paladin back in the day id get exp and then die, i do suppose my not knowing how to spec had a negative effect, didnt know you had to spec slash/crush/thrust to use a 2h weapon , although i had the best 8 man pally group once

I think you are right. Those dumb caster mobs keep trying to cast as you are shooting them. By the time they figured out there's no point and try and rush you they are nearly dead.

The task dungeions I've been levelling tend to pop melee mobs, so they just steam right in. Outside a task dungeon, with a bb it's painfully easy - the bb can even stun them as they get close so you don't even have to melee most times.

I was struggling to find level 47 - 50 caster mobs though - anyone suggest any please?

hunt trees in the frontiers, very easy to kill and they are really slow :>

Hmm it can be arranged if you want, i have a heretic alt somewhere im sure

 

[Tilda]

lvl 35, afk xping at corwald catacombs entrance
Once I got 44, for some reason i met a group of 6 firewizards
We did gobos, I remember, the normal groups seeing us and laughing, then we pulled
I think about 50% of the beach went LD or crashed due to the 6 fire aoe dd's and 1 aoe dot being fired off and seeing the effects at the same time. It was risky, and pretty scary, but damn, it was cool when we got it going right

 

[Awarkle]

worst for me was awarkle mk1 level 39.9 only needed .1 to ding thought hey a dragon raid that should be pretty good.

walked away from the dragon with 0 exp and almost deleting. after that took me ages to get up to 40 because every time i died i lost over a bub of exp

 

[Sollac]

i think before battle grounds it was alway the 38-40 that was an arse...
too high for wights in barrows, and too low for avalon city...

now you can just go to molvik/leirvik to kill the boredom.

 

[Conchabar]

level 15 6 or so months after the game came out alb salsbury plains was 1 kill away from ding with armsman;o and i lost every single bit of xp i had gained... ah the good ole days

 

[cHodAX]

45 on my Reaver, kind of got stuck/bored 2 years ago an never bothered to get those last 5 levels done. Still feels like unfinished buisness but I don't really have the PvE urge anymore.

 

[Illudian]

level 48 to 49 was QQ on minstrel. Then came catas ahhh..

Darzil

That only works while your scout does not yet reach capped firing speed. If I flick on rapid fire, am buffed or wearing my SCed kit on him caster mobs only try one cast right after the first shot, and after that they charge me down because I hit them too fast.

And I know about the get-close-to-levelling-then-die-repeatedly scenario. It happens to me all the time..
