    Non-instant-fail DoL leves at level 40

    Could someone please share which locations/leves for level 40 DoL have the least likelihood of being set in a swarm of rapidly spawning, aggressive quest mobs, in enemy encampments, or wherever else that would cause an instant-fail... unless you get lucky and find a party grinding there?

    I just got all my DoL jobs to 35, and since some of these camps take a long time to run to, the last thing I want is to find that I fail 4/6 leves because of poor gathering location placement. I know 1.19 is supposed to address some of this, but we've got a month until then and I'd like to keep advancing my DoL jobs in the meantime.

    Thanks in advance.

    Most have this problems.

    BTN:
    Iron lake: Pretty safe since they changed some points' spot. But since kobolds are shared pop with dormouses sometimes you might find some close to trees at 3 gathering points one.
    Halatali: Sometimes you might find mongrels/djiggas camping the tree at Seeing the overseers.
    Treespeak: 3 points one seems safe. the 3 rosewood logs one tho pops at one of goblin NM territories, making things a bit "risky" sometimes.

    FSH:
    Iron lake: The 2 points one is terrible. You do need to go fish INSIDE a kobold camp. Terrible leve.
    Halatali/treespeak: Never did.

    MIN:
    Iron Lake: Pretty safe. At mythril ore one you need to go ast a raptor camp, but never had a problem doing it.
    Halatali: Sometimes it will ask you to cross an antling area...my suggestion is to just take the longer path but head to points always from north instead of trying to pass by antlings.
    Treespeak: Never did.

    Thanks. I did try one mining and one botany around Iron Lake, and had good luck. I'm doing them around Treespeak (botany & mining) as well as Nine Ivies (fishing) as we speak. So far, around Treespeak, everything has gone well... or as you said. Thanks for the starting tips.

    All of the mining and botany leves are fine now, since 1.18. Can't speak for fishing however.

    Mining: completely safe at all 3 locations

    Botony: completely safe at hala and treespeak, at iron lake sometimes there is a stray kobold by the "3 logging points" leve

    fishing: havent gotten around to this yet but will have info soon


    the above is only for leves

    if you want the safest spot for grinding, id say iron lake in general is safest

    Thanks for the additional feedback (everyone). As for grinding, I like Coerthas -- very safe... minus a stray vulture, which can easily be soloed with a job in the high-40s. Since there is little feedback on fishing so far, I will try to post back with what I find.
