4.0 - Where to Hunt

I've borrowed from other guides in an effort to bring you a large listing of places to hunt, hence the number of credits. Have a favorite place to level your necro? Please send it to me or post it in the TTH forum!

Levels 7 - 10

Check out the Getting Started in Qeynos guide for a number of quests you can do to get yourself to "class" level. You can also get started by questing with your class mentor. After you are done questing on the Queens Colony, the boat will take you to your home town. Near the docks of your city you should find a mentor who will give you quests related to your class.

Levels 10 - 19

Antonica is the hunting ground of choice. Solo and Group mobs are abundant. Do yourself a favor and explore the zone. Taking a ride on the Griffins is a good way to clear the fog from the map. Work through as many quests as you can for fast experience... the game really starts to open up as a swashbuckler at level 20+. You will get your first large stun at 26 which will help you with crowd control.

Black Burrow is a great place to go with a group you trust. The lower levels of the sewers, such as the Vermin Snye are aggro heavy and dangerous, again, unless you're with a trustworthy late-teens group. Also check out Stormhold, the creepy keep on the east end of Antonica if you have a group with you. Otherwise you should wait until your late 20's to wander around by yourself.

Levels 20-29

Thundering Steppes, is good for soloers and groups. If you want to get there, take a griffin to the steppes station. From there you can run up a valley to the south east where you will find huge doors at the end. The bell on the Qeynos Harbor docks there will take you to the if you buy a ticket from the harbor master for 60 silver. Groups can hunt anywhere from the zone in to the far reaches of the zone. The mobs are plentiful and many are not aggressive. The Undead and Scarecrows near the Antonica zoneline frequently drop chests with decent begining loot.

• Grouped 16-24: The gnolls found in the craters near the Antonica zone-in in the Thundering Steppes. There is also a huge group of zombies mingling in the eastern farmlands just south of the Antonican entrance.
• Grouped 16-25: The centaurs found all over the zone. These are not initially aggressive which is nice. They are faction based so after a few kills their status will change to aggressive making travel much harder. [Thanks Kaleb of the Unrest Server!]
• Solo 19-23: The beetles found off the path to the docks and the bridge
• Solo 19-24: The hawks found off the path to the docks and the bridge.
• Solo 19-23: The snakes found off the path to the docks and the bridge.
• Solo 19-24: The antelopes found off the path to the docks and the bridge.
• Group 24-28: Ruins of Varsoon (entrance in TS) yields great xp and loot, including a variety of tier 4 jewelry. [Thanks Baptizmas of the Blackburrow server!]
• Solo 24-26: Skellies in front of the Varsoon entrance in Thundering Steppes, which are both solo mobs and plentiful. The "apprentices of varsoon" at the entrance are especially nice exp and loot. [Thanks Jayce of the Storms server!]
• Group 21-26: Giants in TS, these drop awesome loot (including armor and Hill Giant Idols, which sell for surprising amounts to other players) and are great experience. There are rumors of a "Goliath" quest that can net you 10-12% experience at lvl 22. [Thanks Requiiem of the Neriak server!]

• Solo 28-31: The first mobs in Zek con level 30 solo (yellow). If fought well, these are nice, safe xp. Moreover there's a quest starting at Zek docks (entrance) asking to hunt 10 of those mobs for nice cash (31 silver) and a "find the different locations" tome quest that cons red at lvl 28. [Thanks Jayce of the Storms server!]
• Solo 30-35: Ruins of Varsoon is great- rats and dogs at entrance are soloable. Group there or work your way in. [Thanks Kuldor of the Unrest Server]
• Solo 35+: Get Feerott access. Solo mobs on the beach where you zone-in are safe with good loot. [Thanks Kuldor of the Unrest Server]
• Group 30-35: Nektulos Castle is great exp, offers great quests and quest updates, and LOTS of adepts seem to drop there for some reason. [Thanks Wootwooten of Lavastorm!]
• Group 32+: Runnyeye Citadel, while difficult to get to (mucho aggro in the way), is a great place to earn exp fast. With the right group you just might level in less than a few hours!
• Solo / Group 34+: Rivervale offers solo opportunities near the gate and great quests and opportunities for groups farther in. That, and it's much easier to get to than RE.
• Group 35+: Get Everfrost access. Experience here is great. [Thanks Kuldor of the Unrest Server]

Level 40+

Groups in Cazic-Thule and Permafrost are the best way to go until the mid-40s, when you should try your hand in the expansion zone Sinking Sands. /p>

Level 50-60

There's plenty to do in the Desert of Flames. Sinking Sands, Pillars of Flame and at 55 you can make your way up to Tenebrous tangle and very easily find solo mobs for the killing. There is some group content also if you look hard enough. Grab a group and check it out!

Level 60-70

if you've reached level 60 you might want to think about picking up the expansion pack, Kingdom of Sky. At 60 you should be in Barren Sky. The hands down best place for experience is groups in the Palace of Awakening. Once you hit mid 60's, if you can't find a group there are tons of solo quests to do in Bonemire at the Drednever Crashsite.
