So, how is Pagos?

[Silica-chan]

Good grief... leveling in Pagos for lower level seems impossible... so, I just go back to Anemos doing NM train until EL 22, and after that going back to Pagos and it's still hard to find a group because most of them already at high level EL (including my guildies).

-story from a "late bloomer" in Eureka land-

Try the party finder instead of searching for a group inside of pagos.
Not sure how the situation is on your DC but on chaos I see pf groups looking for "lower" levels pretty regulary.
Usually these partys stay together for atlast 1 hour instead of people leaving after one NM forcing you to search for new people which should help you level up.
