Powerleveling a friend...suggestions where and how to huntFollow

Interested in suggestions for good spots to powerlevel a friend. The firend now has a Lv 11 Halfling Paladin (don't ask) and using my Lv 50 Druid interested in what spots and general tactics for powerleveling you could suggest. Oh yes and limited for now to the old world as they bought the LDoN expansion pack.

So far weve dont Misty, bit of the dungeon off Misty (I forget), Crushbone, South Karana and currently on Kerra Isle.

Keeping the buffs up and using thorns so the baddies bang them selfs to death...but if the level difference is too much that last 12% of HP can take forever.

Thanks for the ideas, all appreciated from Lv11 up to the 40's.

Orc Highway in Oasis would be a good idea. Tons of red con mobs for that level; just let them beat to death on the dmg shield while healing. And after the pally does 50% to the mob, just nuke it dead.

This strat is good to get your character to lvl 18 in like an hour or 2.

1) Go to Kurns' Tower off of Field of bone.
2) Dmg shield your druid and park your PL at the entrance.
3) Run your druid around the tower picking up as many skellies as possible and train them back down to entrance. After level 16, you will need to move downstairs and pull the badgers instead.
4) As the skellies are hitting your druid (taking damage from sheild), have your PL pick away and do at least 1 dmg to each of the skellies before they die. AoE is wicked at this.

PL will get all the EXP from each skellie that dies as long as druid doesnt do any up front damage to the skellies.

Ive managed to PL my characters from 8 to 18 in less than 2 hours using this method. Also set a personal best of yanking 34 skellies on one train. It was a riot.

Leap

I have a devious idea. Never tried but may work well.

Go to SouthWest of WK and there are two corrupted Guards (Dolan and Mc__). Your level 50 druid can snare one and stack dots on him. I think Dolan is level 30 so you should stack a level 44 drone + a level 34 drone; the other guy is level 38 so you should stack all your dots. The purpose is not to kill him but get him to low health first. At level 50 you should be able to single pull the level 38 guard (the level 30 guard will not add), or you can use harmony. After 1 minute of kiting the guard will be below 20% hp and in flee mode. Now have the paladin go kick his *&@ from behind (to avoid reptoire). Once the paladin does 1 point of damage, the druid can hit the guy with another big dot then immediately lesser succor. When the guard dies the paladin should have all the exp. Plus he can loot the guard and turn in the bracer to NK's captain for more exps.

The two guards' spawn time is around 10 minutes, so it will be a pretty easy camp. You can even two-box the druid and paladin without any problem. If you feel that the spawn time is too long, there are two good guards north to the camp for you to kill (just don't loot the bracer).

Caution: First of all this is just an idea and not tested -- it is entirely possible that the paladin may not get exp from this method. Second there are serious faction hits in Qeynos corrupted guards and the circle of unseen hands (there are two other faction hits but they are minor). You may need to kill a lot of bandits to repair the faction if you want to pass Qeynos safely. Thirdly if you decide to kill the good guards as well, there will be more faction hits in Qeynos, and there is a bard NPC in the same tower as the good guards who may add.

Xin says Hello to everyone here.

Ive PL'd MANY new friends with my 50's druid.

My guide to PL'n is as.

1-6 lvl-- Misty Thicket (undead rats & Orc camps)
6-10 Crushbone
10-15 Estate of Undead
15-20 Paludal Caverns ( the Phlargs away from all the camps and such)
20-24-30 South Karana (aviaks 1st then inside Splitpaw)

main focus here is dungeon exp
lvls 1-11 use a mid 20's DS
12 & beyond use current best
Of course all best available buffs and Chloro.

I personally dont PL peeps beyond 30 as they need to get some type o grpn exp in

Hope this helps and GL.

I totally agree with going to Kurn's Tower if all you have is old world. HOWEVER, you're PLing a tank. The method above will hardly ever raise your defensive stats at all. The traditional approach of just buffing up the paladin and standard healing will produce nearly the same speed within Kurn's.

You will also get those needed defensive increases since the paladin is the one being hit. Kurn's moves at about the same speed as Paludal, but it only tops out around 18 at the highest.

After Kurn's I would go to Najena. A zone off of Lavastorm. There is a real nice modifier in there as well and typically empty. You can go to mid 20's rather easy in there.

After Najena I would go to Sol A. (Solusek's Eye) It is also off of Lavastorm. You can easily go up to level 34 in this zone and make some decent cash off the goblins for a PL area.

After Sol A you should be around level 34 and able to head on out Lower Guk (Live Side, some dead). That should take you up to 40ish.

After that you really only have a couple of old world options. Sol B or Lower Guk (Dead Side). I personally like Lower Guk better, especially since it's a paladin that you're PLing. The undead procs on his sword will help add in faster killing.

So in summary:
1) Kurn's
2) Najena
3) Sol A
4) Lower Guk (Live than Dead)

the easiest thing to do is goto SOLA and pull with the druid,keep up the ds on the druid and the paly both, also chloro, pull multiple mobs, 3-6 no more. and let them beat on the druid, with the paly peeling off one or two at a time(by melee) keep your level 5 druid root memmed (so as to avoid outdamaging the paly) you only need to root the last mob standing, as the gobs won't run untill there is only one left, and when it is rooted, it will continue to hit your friend(for the damage shield), you should be able to get from level 12 to level 29 in about 4 hours.
