Fastest Method

You have multiple options now, with the advent of the tutorial and the TSS expansion, you can either level 1-10 in either the tutorial, or Crescent Reach, then continue in CR until level 20, then go to either Blightfire Moors, or the current hotzone, or try the old school method below.

I often start in the tutorial dungeon first, and do quests and level to 10th. I have heard that the experience modifier in CR is such that you can hit level 10 in less time there, however if you choose this route, you should really do the starting tasks charm in the tutorial before leaving.

No matter what option you take, it would not hurt to head straight to the Guild Lobby to get TEMP and SOW, and any other buffs available. Additionally, if you have any plat then you may want to buy some better gear and potions before getting the buffs. Once you get buffs from the lobby, log out and back in to the tutorial. Now you can hunt in either CR or the tutorial, you'll kill faster and have less chance of dying. Check each and every corpse you kill, get the money, and look for Crude Defiant armor and weapons drop from various mobs. Collect each and every piece of this that drops, even if you cannot use it, you may be able to trade it for a similar piece you can use.

If you have hit level 10 in the tutorial, you can leave and it will place you in Crescent Reach. From there, you can either start doing the tasks in Crescent Reach or head to the lobby and get rebuffs, and log and go through the tutorial to get back to CR, however, once you hit 11th level you may not be able to take that shortcut any more.

Now that you are level 10 or higher, you will start to see Simple Defiant armor and weapons drop from various mobs. Again, collect each and every piece of this that drops, even if you cannot use it.

Once you hit level 15, if solo, you may want to stay in CR, but if you have a solid group and/or are well buffed, head out to Blightfire Moors, or the current Hotzone, there you may be able to get better equipment and experience will be faster.

The random Simple Defiant gear is nice, however, it will not cover the following slots, ears, fingers, back, neck, shoulders, (in most cases) ranged and secondary slots. in this case you will want to gather the random drops from the older hotzones, as well as any of the Quests in Blightfire Moors.

Even when Blightfire Moors is not a hot zone, it is a pretty good place to level all the way to level 35, if not, the hotzones also provide a good way to level quickly.

Using a combination of the above methods I know of people leveling up to 35 solo in less than a month.

For those that want to level in an old school manner, following is the original Wiki post.

I always start in the tutorial dungeon first quests and lvl to 8th ot 10th if you want.

First thing though is do the starting tasks get charm. And leave to POK get TEMP and SOW, and any other buffs available. If your shared bank has plat then buy some better gear and potions before getting the buffs. Log out and back in to the tutorial. And then hunt. You'll kill faster and less chance of dieing.

8th to 10th lvl now I normaly go to Field of Bone. Level to 12th , getting buff often and head to Kurn's Tower. Lvl to 16th upper lvls solo get group and lvl to 20th lover lvls

Then head to Paludal Caverns 18th to 24th group and kill badits. Or solo other mobs till you can solo bandits

Next Netherbian Lair 24th to 28th

Next Iceclad Ocean go hunt out side Tower of Frozen Shadow 26th to 38th solo when you can

Next Burning Woods wasps 38th to 46th out side of Chardok group 40th to 51th or solo 44th to 51th

This is all I've done so far. I have 8 accounts 42 characters all under lvl 52 , most lvl 33-40 I'm using mostly hot zones and boxing for buffs and some grouping when needed if no one else around

I think this takes about 48 hrs game time. With some baz shopping and sitting around

If soloing have the potions, and buffs from POK or guildies, or passerbyers

Oh and as for loot not much worth it. I stopped looting long ago. Just farm when you need. Lvl fast and farm better mobs.

Starting out make a druid and you'll be able to solo well and get loot faster plus porting. Good buffs. Farm plat and put in shared bank for other classes you want to play I hope to add more details later. A bit tiered today 3 am now off to bed.

Next up, Level 36
