Leveling Guide/blog for those in LL and Uldah

Hey peeps,

(Updated 07/14 - Added Thanalan 1-20)

Currently this guide includes grinding locations for ranks 1-31 solo and party. These areas make good for leveling up in between leves and possibly behest. Enjoy!

thank you you helped me find a decent place to go from 20-30 thanks bro/sis arigatogozaimashita

Am guessing this is for soloing? and not really a party version?

then again what am i talking about no one party because the sp sucks -.- at least i found a 11-21 camp that give 500-700 beside that there noting you can do with party that give more then 300sp how sad ;;

how hard is it to fix the dam SP for party.

Party Sp is about 2 fold that of Solo sp easy from Rank 20-50.

People do not party because people think what you just stated. The comment about party sp being bad outside leves is very very wrong.

Examples: (all these camps I clocked at the stated sp +/- 3k sp. They all included 6+ ppl and where a standard party setup. Took the Sp difference every 5mins RL for 2hrs and used the data to get the rate of sp/hr)

Nanawa Mines 18-24 = 30k/hr Puk Bridges
Copperbell 25-28 = 22k/hr (this level range sucks) Ants
Nine Ives 28-35 = 30-35k sp/hr Efts
Crimson Bark 35-42 = 30k sp/hr Birds
Baulder Downs 42-50 = 30-40 k sp/hr raptors and Goblins

That and after 24 you will never get more then 450sp a kill solo (most mobs give 200) , and that is only on really hard mobs like drakes which are 10 levels above you.

I'll work on revising the guide to include other starting areas. This guide is intended for solo and small group play. Check back in a few days for updates.

Party play is recommended but I suggest that you don't go over 3-4 members. The poster above makes a good point about XP being good. However, I'm not sure if the XP/hr stated is accurate. A couple reasons being, each member over 2 penalizes your XP gain by a percentage per a member and the degree of fatigue (finding enough mobs is also an issue). 15-25k/hr is likely with a good party set-up and a good location.

I assure you my sp/numbers are accurate. If you are getting less then 20k/hr on a sp party you are not at a good camp/or your setup sucks honestly.

while more people does lower your sp, it also speeds up your kill speed. It depends on where you are leveling honestly and what your ranks are.

The lower level you are at a camp the more you benefit for more people, the higher the level you are at the camp it is better for less. Remember the Goal is sp/hr not sp/kill. Getting 400 Sp a kill looks awesome but if you can kill the mob in half the time then 280-300sp/kill is better assuming there are enough mobs to kill endlessly.

Puks are an example in Nanawa... it looks bad getting 150-180sp a kill when you can solo for 200+ but when you kill a puk every 15-20secs the sp comes in at a lot faster rate.

The camps I listed above have more mobs then you can kill in most cases which is why I also listed them. Nanawa the puk bridges spawn incredibly fast with 8 people they will be spawning about as fast as you can kill. Copperbell no way you can kill all the mobs down there it can hold like 7 partys. Nine ives there are multiple eft/bird circles, crimsonbark there are multiple bird circles, Raptors there is a large loop you follow they should spawn as you get back to the start of the loop.

In the camps in grind when you clear the mobs in the circle you simply run for 30secs to the next circle with a whole new set of mobs.

I've actually ran some of the camps listed (some of which are listed or going to listed in the guide). Usually the problem my parties run into is a shortage of mobs. My most recent party was raptors which is good sp but the pops are very spread out. Also I'm surprised you didn't receive more sp at Copperbell.

Staying on topic though....Grinding parties are good sp and I highly recommend them.

This will be wonderful for myself and my sister, since we are both at a low level. XD Thank you for taking the time to post this!

No Problem :)

Cool guide.

nice guide i'm just having trouble trying to form a party where i am when ever i'm on anytry to join/create a party i always run in the japanese people and have no idea what they are saying or through the party search it's all just LS only >_>

do you shout when you use party search? I'd invite a couple people and have them post in three cities, and shout, but most people of course will be in uldah, if you can get 4 other people you can go to the crab camp in LL by Bloodshore, its where slippery sykes spawns but you can move up and away from him. You can get from 11-20 there with only 3(at higher levels)-6 people (i take 4-5 people once one person is at least 15)

i use search and shout but mainy at LL so far only been in a party of 2 once did manage to take a 25 crab out a few times along with the 25 plains something once

Like Zavier says, most people will be in Uldah. Shout there since you can just teleport to your destination. If you're under rank 25 I'd just suggest a duo or trio party.

kool i guess i'll do that when my anima regens..
