Best way to level from 28-40?

Any advice? I'm in pretty good gear, haven't played since C1-infancy of C2, and I can't quite remember how best to level. I recall doing Cruma, but I doubt at this point there's enough lower levels running around to keep consistant cruma groups running.

Class?

Heretic's Catacomb --> Pilgrim's Necropolis, polearming. It's best with OOP healer, but goes really fast even if they're in the party with you.

e.g., I went from 37 to 40 in a morning, an that included a lil time out for pvp

I'm an elven scout.

Also, its somewhat difficult to get parties - what's the best way to solo it, as well?

You really should be in a clan academy - it'll benefit the clan and make getting parties/buffs a lot easier.

I think soloing in fields is much better than it was when you last played, the herbs heal, recharge, and buff. I really don't think it matters too much where you go -- it's good to avoid dagger-resistant mobs (or archery resistant if you're using a bow), and of course to align with quests you're doing for $$.

At 28 if I'm not in the dungeons, I tend to go with Execution Grounds or Partisan's Hideaway, and do the quest for cargo boxes (Sophya in Dion).

How much faster is it to do dungeon groups vs soling these days?

Slower sometimes -most of the time >.> Depends really. You can exp fast solo at those lvls. The herbs will take you a _looong_ way with it.

Thanks a ton for the help! Any of you folks on Barts that can recomend a good guild academy?

Send a message to Dorja of DeadlySins. They are good people, or were when I was there.

there is a player questions forum for a reason...use it!! :P

If you're a girl, go to any town and open the Hero list. PM the person who's Titan Hero and try to become his "perfect good girl". He will make you lvl78 in about 1 week.

Enjoy.
