Question has probably been asked before, but here it is again.
Where's a good place to play in the teens and twenties? I've brought three toons up through Kurn's and two through PC. I'ld really like to find somewhere else to play, uber xp isn't so important, I'm more interested in seeing something new. If it helps I'm playing a couple of different classes 25 Gnome Necro, 22 Ogre Warrior, 13 Human Ranger, 13 Barbarian Rogue, 13 Eurudite Magician, 11 Troll SK (still trying to find a favorite)

Thanks in advance.

I am a huge fan of the Kurns to PC thing myself, though you always see an abundance of bad and/or inconsiderate players in PC. I think in the mid 20's I moved on to Sarnaks in Lake of Ill Omen, and I believe after that I went to Mistmoore. Also, somewhere in the upper 20's I hunted Giants in Frontier Mountains. Hope you can derive a little use from my ramblings.

Good Hunting,
Nat

Edit: I could be wrong, it has happened more times than I can count. If anyone has better suggestions or corrections to the levels for these places, please post them so I can check them out with my ranger that I'm working on now.

As much as I hate to say it PC is the "best" xp. If you want to have fun, grab some friends and head anywhere. However, after you are done with PC (23/24ish) I have found an excellent place to hunt. There is a needelite camp in Echo Caverns. These are Nice xp all the way to 32 and can be solo'd or duoed by 24s (especially if you can cast a damage shield, they hit fast but for low damage).

In the twenties I went to a number of different places, I could never settle down in one spot, along with being a big quester myself, it made me a very slow leveller.

This is just in general for a twenties character, since you have named many characters.

One of the very nice places I discovered was Gargoyle Island in the Ocean of Tears. Not only were the mobs on that island incredibly easy, but it was also very good loot. They drop Gargoyle Eyes (uncommon and stackable) and research items. The eyes sell to merchants for ~9pp each with about 85 charisma.

You might also want to try goblins in the Highkeep basement, highkeep has one of the best zems in the game. Plus (iirc) fine steel and bronze armor.

Aviaks in Lake Rathe are pretty nice xp, pull to arena zoneline. They drop fine steel and research.

Lake of Ill Omen, despite being one of the only two zones in the game that has a negative zone experience modifier (The Grey being the other) was at one time a very popular zone because of how easy the mobs were. It is less crowded now, which means if you can solo, or stand to wait a little bit to find a group, you can get some nice xp here.

Overthere in Kunark is a good hunting zone all the way up into the 40's. The side you would want to hunt in would be the area on the coast. This was once termed part of "The Kunark Express" because of how fast the xp came in.

Once into the twenties, you can also do LDoN adventures, which yield a ton of xp, cash, and loot. I would recommend Mistmoore if you choose to do so.

Mistmoor (BB) LDoNs are great for awhile but don't forget that there are other camps out there. Especially don't forget with your casters and hybrids who will need points in various locations for spells. I can only speak as a necro here but you will want to get about 37(give or take) points in MM for the particularly nasty lvl 39 DOT Dark Soul, then move on to EC for 150 points to get your 49 pet rune. Just don't limit yourself.

Good Hunting

I agree that if you want to go up lvls very fast, stick in Paludal until about 24 then go straight to High Hold Keep. The experience there is absolutely amazing, you go up lvls so fast and you can stay there until about lvl 33(ish)

but be warned: i like playing chars through the low lvls (up to 40ish), and i have done it a lot now, but i had the habit of racing through them so fast that i had no money and the equipment that i had was really pathetic for my level (especially if you play a caster class, you only just get enough money to keep up with new spells, let alone getting equipment)

so find some good spots for money making also, even if it is killing the lvl 10 goblins in butcherblock (which have very regular 3pp drops), but i am sure there are better places than that. but i dont know too well.

Just thought I'd let you know that the BBM aqua goblin camps have been nerfed for quite some time now. The drops are 1/100th or less valuable than they used to be, and they also used to drop 3arrows on every corpse, but now only 1. Figured it was only fair to warn people before they got their hopes up.
