Hole or Planes (Fear / Hate) assuming they removed the level requirements to get into the planes. Otherwise, Hole for a couple levels, then the Planes.

Last I heard it was still 46+ for Planes, but I'll get the Hole a shot. Thx

Still 46. So hole. Probably go farm idol of the underking for a couple levels assuming you have a healer in your loadout and then do like d1 or 2 hate if you can handle it.

Just dropped into Hole. Looking at the map, this appears to be the largest zone ever made for EQ.

I also think I did it wrong. I just jumped, as I've seen others do and its nothing but tunnels with really annoying elementals.

LOL, indeed.

I made it further in. Can't find ratmen or undead, still just elementals all over this ruined city. Awesome design though.

The HP pools on the golems is nutty. 2x-3x the other mobs.

When this game goes live later this month, it better have the fucking keyring.

Lugging around keys from Befallen, Najena, and Unrest fucking sucks!

Definitely can't xp in Hate at 46.

Edit: I know people can XP here, but I think my gear/stats are lacking for a fresh 46.

Keyring will cost 5$ or you can obtain it in game through an achievement which requires 300 skill Begging.

Not sure what class build you are, but if you are a Pal or Clr, get deep down to the undead area and slay away.

Level 44+, what's the best spot? Is it the Hole? LGuk and SolB aren't yielding much. Never tried the Hole before, so can't compare.

Imps/djarn in solb, lguk if you have anti-undead in your kit, rats or undead in the hole if you can get there. The golems are a bitch to get around.

Xevy · Monday at 9:35 PM

If you're leveling, find something with -1 level to +3 level mobs and set that shit to diff 0 and plow. Even at 44+ just blasting liveside guk or HAMLord isn't AWFUL if you have the clear speed to keep everything down in a decent time. Even mobs 1-2 levels under you give nearly a percent.

The Hole would be best if it weren't for the golems. They're no longer dangerous, but their hp pools suck. I've got a groupmate going to kedge to test out the exp as that's the only zone with a ZEM at the moment, but you'd need to do an instance camp of Qeynos Hills for an enduring breath earring off Hadden probably before you went there. Water places are also fucking awful for melee characters, especially against caster mobs.

Unless you're targeting very important rare drops, just go 0 or 1 for leveling. It negates a bunch of extra healers/fearers/mezzers that make stuff dicey.

Solid advice, thanks. Not worth attempting to gear, at the moment. I did some LGUK on D2 for the FBSS and of course Befallen for the OP weapons, but at the moment its just about getting to 60 to get some planar and dragon drops.

I didn't end up enjoying the Hole (so many jokes). Golems sucked and not enough mobs otherwise. Couldn't even find the undead because of locked doors and no clue how to get further downstairs.

Kedge doesn't hold much appeal for exactly the reasons you stated. Its just a pain. Live Guk and the king haven't been done yet, so I can run through for a bit. Biggest issue the last 3 days has been no personal instances because their coding is limiting how many on a server can be active, regardless of where they are created.

You'd be surprised on the shit that was datamined is close to that.

The tutorial area is a quirky rework that takes 5 minutes to do gives a decent item and xp and introduces you to a few core systems. Skip it if you hate it, you can buy the boots from any adventure vendor.

I seen videos that had it.

It's not quirky it's fucking stupid and could have been handled with a simple book without the slop.

It gives the "This is an Emulator" feel and not this is a proper game feel.
