Era: Just before PoP (Sept 02)
Race: Iksar
Gear: First char, so NO twinking (no cash to twink with). Very crappy gear. Did newb quests for armor. Usually only self buffed.
---------------------
1-6 FoB, SoNH, LoIO - Mainly hunted for newb quest pieces (xp not too bad either)
7-9 FoB - Pit, sometimes would pull mobs roaming from EJ zone
10-21 Kurns - Pulled to ZI until I could make my way to the secret room, then stayed there until mobs got lt blue, then would just work my way upstairs.
21-26 Paludal - Bandits.
26-31 Echo Secret side - Needlites. Could not take queen until level 28 or so
31-39 Netherbian lair, Marus Seru, DSP - Did Neth and Marus until I could handle the shrooms just outside the Neth ZI in DSP, then moved to zelniks.
39-50 Echo short side - Underbulks, and if I could get into a group, the room just outside TM (and TM/skellies if group was good).
50-52 Echo, DSP, Jaggedpines - Could not really find a place where I could get good xp. Finally accepted the fact I was gonna level slow and grinded 52 out in DSP on rock things.
52-55 12+ aa's HHK - OMG!!! Finally went to HHK. If, and this is a big IF, you can get the camp, DO IT!. Fastest xp I have seen since Paludal. I got a level in just under 4 hours, and could do an aa in just over 3 hours. With Chloro, and SR, I did not have to mem my heal spells any more, so 55 was the sweet spot for me. Also made over 20kpp here during that time.
55-58 Dulak, PoJ, PoN - Most of the time in Dulak, on the first 2 ships.
Once I hit 58, I started grouping in the planes, and joined a small guild. We had a full group almost every night, so my solo career pretty much ended about level 58.
58-65 Mostly in the planes grouping (PoJ, PoN, PoI, PoD)
