C5 65+ Archer solo/duo spot

It's almost all in the title but I'll explain the duo.
I mostly box IP or OOP.
The box is a 65SE in BW/homu.
The archer is 65 maj set/ +4 carnage

thank youuuu.

i went to forbiddin gatway(seal of shalin) at that level and did the quest to get a grade jewler recipies(get it ffrom the dark elf guild in aden)

and try and level some crystals there too, 0-10off doom knights

Well no need to lvl crystals 1-10 anymore now that they are available from cry shop.

But yes idd, that spot is pretty good around that lvl for any ranged class.

but you can only get crystals up to lvl 7 from the lux shop...
and then it costs alot... just a way to earn a bit extra cash(by selling crystals up to lvl 7 cheaper than the lux shop)

It's a pretty good spot but a bit too much pvp for reasonable leveling.

Any other hint anyone ?

You can go north of FG, up near the castle, there is a hill on the right hand of the road that you can go up into, I never saw anyone there when I was leveling at that level. It's all Doom Knights and other mobs like that, no falibati's or anything though ;/

lvl 7 to 10 you can buy.

The last part is true though.

FG may be PVP heavy, but there is still VoS to try out :s

Is really VOS good with 1x HP mobs?

And is Forest of the Dead too social as one would presume?

I don't think VoS is any good for any fighter type, mobs just deal too much magic damage. Unless you can 2-shot them on a regular basis I wouldn't go there..

I hear forest of the dead is hard for archers during night time.. but it's a good place for xp if you can survive there.

Devastated castle area is very good, straight east of the castle on the hill is a spot where you can grind until 67 (not on doom knights) archers there give almost same XP as Doom Knights. Very good spot with holy weapon buff, too bad you got an SE :p

Then you can move to Blazing Swamp from 67+ or stay at Doom Knights until 69/70. Upper Blazing Swamp has 73-75 mobs and group bats that give decent xp if you can handle them.

What part of DC? Cos I looked and it seems they're a tad low... and BS is still a tad high.

BS= the marsh worms and glow whisps and low lower orc grunts

I would either stick with FG and do the scales quest, or head up to north-eastern DC and work the ashes quest for a grade jewelry/sheild parts. I did north eastern DC mostly on my archer, managed to get enough parts to craft up my maj set and a couple phoenix items as well in my 4 or so levels out there. Definitely worth it. Usually its pretty empty out there also, but that kinda depends on the time of day and the server I am sure.

On Doom Archers and Doom Guards ?

I meleed Valley of Saints all the time. Of course you need good jewelry; minimum full black ore, preferably better. VoS is really good XP, the monsters there are 1x but give almost as much as 2x HP monsters in the pre-C4 areas. The nukers do hurt though, and you'll be getting their powerful (ranged) nuke because you won't be in melee distance to get their very weak close-range nuke. If you can 2 or 3 shot them you should be OK.

Never played an archer, so dunno. Mages and melee seemed to do just fine there.

Forest of the Dead, during daytime, was pretty good too. Saw a lot of archers there.

Doom guards and archers should be good up to 67 at least, remember GREEN mobs are usually the best and safest XP. More hits, more damage for same XP as comparable white/yellow mobs, not to mention more kills per hour. If you move to the most north eastern part of DC and north of DC you can find doom troopers and knights, there are also some group mobs there that give UBER xp, but better have BD or SWS for those in a trio or so, and focus on the grp-mobs :>

There is a field kind of up on the hill in North-eastern DC that has Doom Troopers and Archers only (none of the spitefull groups mixed in which is nice, no mistakes late at night :D ) I did those for the jewelry peices quest thing until they went blue. With a boxed buffer/healer with you, that area should be cake.

Ty all, as for North DC, I've tried and it was 0.01 and 0.02 % per kill.... Is that normal at 64 ?

I'll retry VoS tonight.

I think 0.02-0.03 per kill sounds just about right, I never focused on XP per kill so much, rather I focused on XP per buffround. I'll gladly take less xp per kill to kill faster and maximize the xp in the time I have to play :D
