Where to level my crusader 11-20?Follow

#1 Jan 11 2005 at 4:50 PM Rating: Decent
I am in a bit of a bind. No idea where I should go to level at 11. Every place I find with similar levels are either greens mized with a bunch of light blue-white group encounters, or.. well, there isnt anything else I've found. please help me find a good spot to level.

thanks :)

Well, at that level I just followed my quests really. Hunting in the Peat Bog or the Caves mostly if I recall correctly. Doing the quests you can gather in your starting city and those around it is the best way to go if you ask me. It will give money and armour, and the xp comes fluently.

You don't say whether you are in Qeynos or Freeport. I can give you advice mostly on the Freeport side.
I agree with Zieveraar's advice above. At 11, grab any and all quests you can do. If you're posting here, then you have access to an excellent reference of most every quest available. Also, try to get as many quests assigned to you as you can before going hunting. Do the delivery quests first. They not only give items and/or copper as a reward, but every quest also gives some amount of xp. It is actually possible to level from 11 to 12 without going hunting. Then, when you are ready, try to get quests which often require the same mobs killed, and you can kill two or three birds with one stone, so to speak. There are some good quests that begin in the Sunken City, for example, that are easily completed at level 11+.
Once you make level 13, I would head to the Commonlands. There are several quests given in the Freeport city zones which require you to either just visit the Crossroads, or deliver a message to someone there. Just watch out for the orcs along the path there. Don't forget to speak to the guys just outside of the Freeport gates, too. Constable Calvin on the left as you exit gives the Front Yard cleanup quest, which people often dismiss, because it only gives 7cp, but it gives decent xp for killing 6 mobs that you will get xp from anyways.. And, if you happen to be doing the speckled snake quest from SFP, or the Armadillo hide shield quest from there too (you should have gotten them both assigned anyways) you can kill the same creatures and get an extra 7c, and decent xp for mobs you were going to kill anyways. Front Yard cleanup is repeatable, too. I still stop by and talk to Constable Calvin every time I pass. I get almost 1% per completion at lvl 19. 6 easy mobs, located close by. It's an easy way to work off xp debt too...
At 13 or so, you should be getting some assignments which involve Wailing Caves. This is great. Experience in here is good through to about 18 or so. Check the site and try to get all the quests involving WC as you can, this is a fun zone. A bit dangerous at first, but once you learn the zone, and get a few levels enough to be safe up top, delve into the jail cell area and further for harder mobs.
At 17, I started the Key to Fallen Gate quest. Talk to Kanos X'Aphon in NFP near the manhole to Thieve's Way. He sends you out to the FG gate area to talk to Tundis N'Oxyle, who then wants you to kill sandstone giants, which are located right near the FG area. This is an excellent example of a mob with which you can finish 3 quests at once. This one requires 5 giants. The Captive's Information quest which starts in Big Bend requires first tortured souls outside of Zarvonn's tower, which is just before the FG gate area, and then requires 5 sandstone giants. And while you are in the Crossroads, if you inspect the axe on the wall inside the tower there, you get Grum's Inspiring Axe quest, which requires 15 giants. So you get 3 quests credit for killing 15 giants, might as well kill 15 while ou're there for the first 5, right? The experience just adds up. But the final part of the Key to Fallen Gate quest is the best. Best to do the whole quest in a group, if you can. At the end, you talk to Kanos again, and he sends you to an instanced zone to fight three floors of cutthroats. There are a few nice items that drop here. Read more about this part here http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?&eq2quest=209
So, to level, I recommend quests, quests, qnd more quests. If you do it right, you can work it out so you're killing mobs which still give experience, to finish a quest that gives bonus experience. And, there's some nice gear and money to be made on the way. Use this site and do the research. Find the quests which involve the areas you might plan to hunt in, and make sure you get them assigned before you do.
Oh, and one other thing. Enjoy the scenery while you travel. Inspect everything that might catch your eye. Sometimes objects out there are the starts of quests as well. And sometimes, just visiting a new area will gain you experience as well. But mostly, just have fun, and be safe. Good Luck!

Well, if you are playing on the Qeynos, At level 11 you can still get some coin and XP from doing quests in willow wood Forest, where you have to kill the mobs. There is also the bag quest that you can do in the forest as well. That one can be done at around lvl 14 with out a problem. good 6 slot bag. Then you have the keep in the forest where you should be able to solo till 16 with out a problem. But, after level 14 I would be heading to South Qeynos to get the clearing quest, where you have to kill 10 of each 3 different types of mob's. I think that you get acouple of silver for that.

I would say start doing as many quests as you can. Good way to get some coin and XP. At lvl 17 I think that I have done about 100 quests, and I am still getting about 1% XP from some of the smaller quest.

Lots of solo and groups spots broken down by level in the Paladin Guide. It is Qeynos oriented though, so you need to be a goodie to make much use of these spots.

I just started a crusader the other day and took him from 10-13 in Forest Ruins. This can be accesesed from Willow Wood. If your AC is decent you will get good xp off the fallen guardians that can be found inside the castle. Just be careful not to get over zealous and attack something that will eat you.


*edit*-after you hit about 13 if you feel your ready to be a tank in a group head out to Antonica. There you can either start killing the scarecrows or solo some of the things next to the first two towers just passed the farmlands. at about 15 or 16 look to head into firemyst gully. You will find some of the best XP if the group is close in level. At about 18 or 19(maybe 17) head to the end of antonica via grif and start killing more crows. You will stay there till 20 or even 21. After that your in TS.
