I've been reviewing old posts that I've book marked now that I'm in the low 60's and it looks like the general concensus is that the low 60's is a sucky leveling zone. Is this correct? I've been soloing in Giant's Cave with Shadow because the mobs are 2X and there is little to no running around to be had along with a good spawn rate. At 62 I'm told that I could try Witches, but am looking for other ideas if you guys have any. Thanks.
BTW I roll solo with no OOP buffs if that helps with your suggestions.
by 64 iirc you can do TOI 4. but yeah that's rough spot. martyrs at upper 60's. Witches is your best bet though, you should be able to take a 4 spawn with little trouble.
I made it through the low 60s via Witches, just pull out soulless and an SE or shadow if you don't and you should be able to rip through the big rooms with 8 mobs. After that I went to blazing swamp/FotD which brought me up near 70. After that I would go to garden of the beasts (easy kills with soulless and herbs drop) which is a great place to grind.
the 60's are the ban of PS as far as i'm concerned but yeah, suffer through 61 and at 62 you should be able to do witches and it's a pretty good place. i THINK i hunted in the devastated castle area but that was kind of a long time ago.
At 61 you will have no problem to solo in Witches or Devotion with Shadow. Although I haven't tried it yet, it is possible that using Nightshade is also good solo. I think it will for sure be good with VR buff.
You should be able to do the 8 mob room, but if not do the 4 mob room. XP will be better even in 4 mob room than at Devastated.
If you don't play a lot (like me) then the Vitality should allow you to earn >30%/hr soloing in these spots.
I suggest beast farm and try to evolve 4x HP mobs, they will give you nice XP, much better than catacombs and they are weak pdef. And also switch shadow to nightshade, shadow takes too much xp. Nightshade is now the best solo option with its buffs, def and superior HP pool. It has about 20% less patak than others, but still nice damage.
They are no longer 1/2 HP. Instead, they are now normal HP mobs that are weak to "up-close" melee attacks. Basically, if you try using ranged attacks like nukes or bows, they are full HP mobs, but if you melee then they die like 1/2 HP mobs, but give you XP like a full HP mob would. It is now basically a GREAT place for melee classes to grind.
garden of wild beasts is the name of the area. On the WoA side it's easiest, with antelope and birds. As you move counter clockwise it gets tougher until you get into the grendels and buffalo near silenos. The mobs are pretty close packed if you find the right area and they drop herbs which translates to using one of the low % pets. I'd say silhouette but teh fact that nightshade now is almost as strong but has some handy buffs might make him better.
****, Garden of Wild Beasts?? It says the mobs are level 69 or higher at that place. Sounds too high for me at only 61-62. :confused:
You would be surprised how easy they are to kill. However, at 61/62 I would go to witches and grind out to 65. Witches with shadow or soulless if you have an SE. Best way to get through those hard low 60s, don't care what anyone else says.
68 or so and you can do it probably, but yes witches is fantastic until mid to upper 60's. If you want to do cata's after witches do the entrance of martyrs in upper 60's and the starter mobs in FP (there's a 4 spawn of them in a ways).
Eh, once you hit 68-70 Witches turns light/dark blue, so it isn't worth it. In the upper 60's you can do Garden of the beasts easily and when you hit 72/74 I would go to Wall of Argos or hot springs. Both are easy to do with the PS using shadow or soulless + SE.
in the 66 kam the summons agro goes straight to me, so i end up running around with TP on, i never hit the mob once lol.
I had this exact same experience @ 40 with my new PS...he was the highest lvl and most dps for the lvl 36 kama, i attacked the boss only w/ the summon at first and it stuck to me like glue. Ended up TP / drain tanking the thing in robes.
Also was playing around in cruma and the catheroks did the exact same thing, acted as if the summon damage was coming from me.
