leveling up - where to find the experience

Sleipnir · 03-20-2002, 10:38 AM

Hi,

I am currently level 10 in Trynton and have to look very hard to get any proper experience for leveling up.
I just sometimes wander between Trynton-Arnika, even up to Bela and the Wilderness to find good experience fights.
The fights are not difficult but i don't get much experience either the best I had so far are 7 Juggernouts(?) for 7000 experience points and 7 drones in Arnika for 15000. Even the almost 600 hitpoints steelhide croc only gave 2000.

Any tips or comments would be great!

BTW i play normal level.

Hmmm...have you tried camping outside in Trynton? What with Hogars and everything, there should be some good xp there.

The longer you camp, the more likely you are to be attacked by hordes on the road.

How about the retro dungeon in the graveyard?

Or, for a REALLY fun experience, how about hanging out and sleeping in the Ratkin tree for a while after you kill the breeders. There are some really large groups there (and they drop some good stuff, too).

You'll also pick up some good xp if you move on to the swamp (although you'll probably be sick of the sight of mosquitos [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). The cool thing about the swamp is that there never seems to be a shortage of battles if XP are what you're looking for.

It's hard to give other suggestions without knowing why you're not just moving on to the next step.

Every time I try to look for XP exclusively, it evades me.

When I just play the game and complete lots of quests, I get the XP.

If you want some endless-type hoards attacking you, head into the swamp and go up to the entrance to the mines, just outside of it is a real hot spot.

Why not go get Marten's idol and then you can do the brekkek quest. I did that at Level 10, it wasn't too bad.

Trie to go to the "Mine" area from the Swamp there you got tonns of xp from killing "Tanto Wasp`s" they are hard to kill but not that hard so that is what i do when i shall get some xp..

like everyone suggests, the Mines is a great spot. when you enter the area, off to the left are 3 broken down huts. as you fight off the swarms of monsters, make your way up to the left and closest one.

position yourself inside the hut and you will be able to stand there for literally HOURS and fight off long lines of monsters, in a relatively safe way.

it's the very first "sweet spot" discovered by players here and we still push it as great for getting exp.

personally, i find it boring after a while and gotta keep moving. i prefer to just play the game and fend off whatever attacks me. i am in the bayjin shallows now and everytime i turn around i have long, hard fights (last bout was 23 Depth Dwellers that netted me 190,000 exp per party member).

either way, there's definitely NO shortage of monsters to fight. just keep moving and camping. oh yeah, camp with your light on FULL. that will bring them out of the woodwork!!
