Leveling ?

Player Questions Started Last reply 10 posts
I'm a dark elf at level 15 and I'm fighting Marsh Zombie Lord that give me 705 Xp and I'm serching for monster that give me more Xp to rise in level more faster. Does anyone have any suggestions ?
as fighter you shouldn't strive for lot of xp per mob, but fast kills for less xp. Thus hunt whatever is green to you (it's name once you target it, cons green)
and does the marsh zombie in marshland are good mobs for my level or else, which place do you recommended me ?
They don't have to be green. It simply depends on how fast you ar killing them. Leveling up my orc destroyer I needed green mobs and leveling was slow because I was in their face getting smacked down and slowly chopping away at their health while they slowly chopped at mine. So if I fought something pink I was going to need more down time to recover my health, which meant slower leveling because my XP per hour was getting shot by having to rest.

When I made a DE mage I never needed to fight anything less than pink because I was 2 shotting them. I also found this to be true with an archer. You arent getting hit and it all comes down to mana conservation.

Depending on what class you are playing and how you fight will determine if you need green mobs or pink mobs. My Dwarf uses a pole so a whole pack of green mobs = XP+++.

That being said I would head to Gludin and hunt bears, then harder you can go to Abandon Camp, and even harder Orc Barracks.
I don't solo much, being an Elf Oracle/Elder its kind of hard to. In my tiny experience of soloing though, I found that white mobs give the most exp per kill. Yellows and Reds gave less, due to taking longer to kill. Light Green and below color gave gradual less exp. Seeing how it takes the same amount of time to kill a light green as it did a white, White colored mobs were always the best.
Try to find things that give around 2k exp. From 15 to 20 I leveled in elven ruins all my characters in talking island (including dark elves, i just took the boat there). Other than that I don't know any mobs around 15-20 that drop 2000 exp anywhere near dark elf village. Maybe the spyders but I doubt it.
i've a lvl23 DE PK, and currently i'm trying to xp in the abandon camp, the generals, captains, and commanders give you over 1K xp each, also i could be wrong but i've noticed that if there health is below 25% and you use a special move, for example if you are using a sword and you use power strike to finish them off (over-hit!), you get a little more XP than normal.

i'd mos def like to know what area are the mobs that give you 2K xp.
That's with every mob :p. As long as your special move says "Overhit Possible" the lower the hp of the monster is the more extra exp you get.

Edit:

The undines and undine elders in Talking Island / Elven Ruins give out 2000 or 2100 exp :D. Go try!

And at 23 you should try Orc Barracks... Abandoned Camp is low exp. Orc barracks can give 2000-3000 exp on average at your level.
Overhit at lower levels seriously gimps your SP/adena/XP ratio, though. For fast leveling, sure, for economic and wise leveling, no.

Melee characters shouldn't really (aren't designed for) solo unless they really have to. They all can, with varying success, but duoing with a healer (or even a nuker that's happy healing and buffing at those aforementioned lower levels) can make for non-stop killing easily. While it may seem that you get less xp per mob when fighting easier mobs or partying, you'll have to remember the thing most of the ebay newbies forget: XP over time is what counts, not XP from individual mob. Unless you're only there to hunt for, say, one buff round, in which case higher xp mobs may yield a better net worth.

Non-stop mindless cruma-grind in constantly changing parties > any catacomb or raid boss party ;o. How I miss those times, back when people knew how to exp without shots..

When I made a DE mage I never needed to fight anything less than pink because I was 2 shotting them.



Yes, but you were probably twinked from the sounds of it, no? At lower lvl, without the proper equipment, shots, etc, as a dark elf, you can't two shot mobs (saying for a starter character with no benefits and noob gear).

I assume the original poster is a "fighter" and not a mage?

First off, if you are a mage, get away from those zombies as they have magic drain and that is not good for you AND they use it if you are fighting at a distance. Also, they are resistant to magic attacks if I remember correctly.

I actually do recommend fighting the green mobs as a fighter. If you are a mage, anything you can two shot (or even one shot is fine).

Downtime is your enemy so slightly less xp for faster killing and less downtime is better.

The spiders around the Dark Elf Alter (or whatever it's called) or high lvl than those zombie but be careful because some of them are poisonous.
