If you've got a Kedge specialist you're probably in good hands.

p99 is about the same classic experience as TLP since they have rotations on raids and characters that have been stuck in Velious for a decade. But yea if you want to stumble around in the dark since you picked a Barb while using a worse UI and have no aspirations to raid anything its closer to how the game was back then.
You will likely have more fun on a TLP however

Going to reiterate this, I really felt it was required. I really dislike the zone as I really felt lost, but ours brought us to the Undertow/Kelpmaiden/Matriarch area and I don't think we saw anyone else for 12 hours.

Most people dont even know what they are going to roll until after the servers come up, myself included lol
Leaning bard, I always end up pulling and the toolset would make my life so much easier while being a chill ride through the expansions, just not a great main to farm with, as I always solo box on a TLP but I wont be playing this server 24/7 like I usually do so I think it'll be fine.
Ill get to play (maybe) tomorrow and then barely anything until monday, statics are out and ill be way behind the tryhards but by the 2nd month of classic most people are ready to hang themselves before another sky raid so I think its for the best.

Don’t do it. The zem is great but throughput is too low, it will lose to all other options in the level range.

Eh, Grieg's is pretty fucking close to Velks. Problem with Velks is that castle really only supports about 1 group and kobolds slow way the fuck down around 55ish. GE is pretty consistent for 3-4.

I did kedge from like 38-50 on rizlona during classic. Its not the absolute fastest, but for someone just trying to get to 50 in a reasonable amount of time it's pretty great. I enjoyed the solitude lol. You'd see groups coming and going for Phinny, but only very rarely would you run into someone trying to XP. You can score some really good items there too off of the shark named that drops the hammerhead helm, and stuff off of undertow and Estrella plus tons of Deepwater inks for potions during kunark.

It's funny how NRO is the only outdoor zone with a substantial bonus.
Splitpaw becomes really good later on, like GoD era I guess? I've seen people pound out 65-70 there faster than OOW zones if they have a lot of mobs to themselves.
For 70-75, Corathus Mines (Belfast mission #5 if I remember correctly) from DODH is probably the fastest pounding out of the levels. Can be done with TSS levels in 3 hours there with a group that knows what it's doing.

What level range did you do that? I figure you'd need to be at least 42ish to survive in that camp, but it wouldn't take 12 hours to reach 50 from there would it?

Yeah, you gotta factor in things like mob density and time to kill. ZEM isn't everything

Like 44 I think. Seahorse cave was fine, and it didn't take 12 hours to level we were doing a lot of dicking around trying to spawn and pick off named's. Its just a quiet zone which is nice since the Hole is a fucking mess.
I just like the less traveled to zones, hell I have leveled from like 27 to 45 in ToFS before. Efficient? Nope. Quiet and interesting? Def

If you're not rushing to top 50 or whatever I'd stay the fuck out of OOT and wait for The Hole to open up. The quality of life in Hole drops and exp per pull versus OOT goblins is big. The problem is you'll need Vox and Naggy dead and that'll take 2-3 days from server launch (probably). The Hole has some rough mobs like golems, but if you have Allure you've got a killing machine that has 4x the DPS of any member of your group and you've got ACTUAL drops worth equipping/trading. And if you can manage the undead tower, you've got bigtime early money from withered leather.
Standard leveling for most people should be newbie zone--Oasis/Crushbone---Unrest/Upper Guk----Lower Guk---- SolB/Hole/OoT. It's unfortunate they didn't mix it up as this cycle is super stagnant, but that's the best bang for your buck. Mangler my group the highest day one outside of a 6 boxer and we did some alt zones like Mistmoore and it was okay, but not worth it. Unfortunately if there's a place you THINK could be a secret gem, it's not. These are the settled meta unfortunately and unless DPG does something next TLP it'll be this way for a while.
I will say for Kunark a pro tip is if you have 1-2 enchanters with allure and OOG support undead tower will take you from 51-54 faster than anything else Kunark has to offer. Partially because of the exp bonus/mob level, but mostly because you just have premium pet opportunities there.

Am I remembering correct that Yelinak was 1 month classic 2 months Kunark. Where as Oakwynd will be classic 2 months and kunark 2 months.
