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 necromancer forum!
For non-class specific leveling information, please visit the tier leveling guides to find out where the best hunting grounds are!
Levels 1-10
Make use of that time on the somewhat safe starting areas! This guide will tell you all you need to know about the Outpost of the Overlord, where to go and how to level. You can also find great newbie area advice for the Darklight Woods and Timorous Deep!
Levels 10 - 19
The Commonlands is the hunting ground of choice if you are coming from Freeport. 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 opens up as a necromancer at level 20 (through your first great defensive pet comes at level 24).
Fallen Gate is a great place to go with a group you trust. The lower levels of the sewers are aggro heavy and dangerous, again, unless you're with a trustworthy late-teens group.
In Timorous Deep or Darklight Woods, these starting zones can easily take you through until your late teens so you don't even need to worry about venturing into the outside world until then.
Levels 20-29
I would personally skip Nektulos Forest until you're grouped and in your later teens. Thunderous Steppes, however, is good for soloers and groups. If you want to get there, make a harrowing run through Nektulos Forest to the beach in the southeast (get a guide if you can, this zone is twisty). The bell on the docks there will take you to the Thundering Steppes. 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 excellent loot.
If you happen to have the expansion, Echoes of Faydwer, hopping onto the boat in Thundering Steppes or Nektulos Forest and heading out to check out the big open zone of the Butcherblock Mountains is good fun. While you are there, look up the deity rep of your choice and think about getting started on that deity quest!
Level 30-39
Solo 28-31: The first mobsLevel 40-50
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 zones Sinking Sands, or perhaps the Steamfont Mountains.
Level 50-60
There's plenty to do in the Desert of Flames. Jump on a rug and zoom on over to take a look at the Clefts of Rujark, my all around favorite 50s zone, or the Pillar of Flames! In the Echoes of Faydwer expansion, you can find something to do in Lesser Faydark. I have a good time soloing the large amount of drakes in the zone. These are easy kills with decent loot drops.
Level 60-70
To get this far, you will need the expansion, Kingdom of Sky. This expansion has tons of great content, arranged in the most convenient of ways. Late 50s to early 60s you'll want to spend some time in the Tenebrous Tangle and the Sanctum of the Scaleborn. My fave spot in this zone was the breeding grounds. This area makes for great soloing!
For the mid 60s, visit the Barren Sky and the Palace of the Awakened. There is soo much to do here, most notably the Hoo'Loh hat quest that will gain you your class hat. No matter where you go in this area, you cannot go wrong, it is jam packed with mobs of all sorts.
Then to kiss that level cap, you'll want to move on to the Bonemire. I spent a lot of time at the Drednever crash site doing quests and just plowing through the mobs in the area. Visit the Halls of Fate if you have a good group along!
Level 70-80
In order to explore this tier and reach these levels, you will never the Rise of Kunark expansion. Here you will find some expansive and wonderous lands to explore through your 8th tier.
Starting out, you will want to check out Kylong Plains. This is a huge zone and you likely won't even get to it all before you start to outgrow it and are needing to head to the Fens of Nathsar.
Mid 70s, you'll want to check out first Kunzar Jungle then Jarsath Wastes. All of the tier 8 zones are packed with a large amount of quests and truly this is the best way to level at this range. You'll find most of the quests around the various villages and outposts and they will lead you all over the zones where you are sure to stumble upon more quest opportunities.
Thanks for reading the TTH Necromancer Guide! If you have any comments, drop me a line! Happy necromancy!
