Fast way to level from 11th to 20th Rogue?Follow

#1 Mar 01 2004 at 11:23 PM Rating: Decent
This is my first character and am looking for faster ways to level my character to 20th.
Currently I am in Crushbone and the blue monsters don't seem to do much for leveling fast.
Are there other areas that I can get more experience? 60% of the time I solo... maybe there are monsters in other areas that can give me more experience or quests that I can complete.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

First off, if you solo 60% of the time, rogue probably isn't the class for you. Also Backstab skills up quite slow so you really do want to group, so you can get behind the mob. Don't worry about leveling up fast, instead try and build as round a character as possible. Especially early, with even mediocre gear at low level you can do things that will be impossible at higher levels (like solo for instance). Anyway, if you can get a healer and perferably a tank too, go with you the shadeweavers thicket side of Paludal caverns. It will be hard to get a group there though, mostly people there are powerleveling and/or are twinked well enough that they don't need any help.

If you want to solo and melee a bit, try a beastlord.

Puldual Caverns!! I leveled from 13-18 in 2 hours there. Best exp you can possibley get at that level.

You'll want to join a group either in Crushbone or in Kurn's Tower up until about 16-17, then find a group that are camping the bandits in the Paludal Caverns.

While Reinman is dead right about rogues and soling meaning that may be the wrong class to have chosen, this sentence makes me wonder if EQ isn't the wrong game for you.

What you are suffering is the post-newbie slowdown. Up to 11 exp is extra fast to make it easier for new players. You are evidence of the problem here in that it makes it seem much harder after that.

On your first character there is an awful lot to learn and even if you could find someone to PL you to 20 you would miss so much both in education and enjoyment that it would be a mistake.

Sorry about the lecture but I think everyone is fed up with people who've taken the "fasttrack" and end up higher up the game without an Fing clue about their role or how to play.

Remember the old adage:- "There can never be a second First Time"

Personally I would not risk a charakter soloing in CB because of the crowd of complete newbies there who often bring the whole throne room training through the area killing everything in its path.

If you are no friend of large groups and prefer to have a bind point near your playfield try to team up with a cleric or pally in Oasis of Marr. Crocs and Caimans give good xp even if blue and are an easy kill(just the loot sucks). If you can enlist a pacifier (cleric will be sufficient) you can also go round all the camps (dervishes/orcs/undead) in North Ro and the Oasis like a clockwork and get some good loot too.

PS: I played a Rogue to 25 myself soloing mainly till LDoN and belive me - although the "Fantasy" Rogue is the traditional and logical charakter to play the lone wolf style the "EQ" Rogue just does not work as a soloer.

If you insist on playing him get the Discipline Tome (as low as lvl 10?)that allows you to heal faster and get a bow with 150 range so you can pull from a distance and be able to still run away if you overpull.

I play now with a Cleric which works MUCH better. The abilities to heal, gate, pacify, boost, CURE poison/disease makes an excellent self-sustaining character and once I reach 20 again I will be well recived for LDoN groups.

But if you want to play the Lone-Wolf style throughout your career you better think of a Ranger wich has both the "background" AND the abilities to be self-sustaining.
