Royal runed for imps, life magic/phials for fire vulns and purple rift orb to tattercoat shielded shadows.

If you have the resources:

Hero Token – Ice wand – wand monkey by perching by the viamont staging area to hit 50 quickly then continue in fiuns or, if you have the rares and are not a mage, pop a weapon rare then wield a spectral weapon to move through the crag. Should be able to get you through to 110 before the spectral weapon goes away.

Original Information

This is a quick rundown of how to best level up newly created characters.

1-30

• White Phyntos Wasp Wings - 7500 and a C note per turn in. Other xp turnins, such as from gambling, also work.
• Lady Aerfalle Quest - White Fire Infusion and Blue Fire Infusion, requires help.

30-50

• Tusker Guard Kill Task - Hit a BSD or Tusker Barracks if you're over 40. 20 million reward will get you to 50. Use any rend, honestly, though fire works best.
• Stone Fists, one of the Colosseum Bosses - 50% of level, 23 hour timer.

50-90

• Viamont Staging Area - There are three locations outside Glenden Wood (the locations in the Viamont Staging Area quest) which spawn monsters instantly as long as the Pillars are not killed. A high level will typically fellow with a level 50, who sits in town. The high level can kill monsters at an extremely high rate, leveling the lower level character from 50 to 90 in one day.

90-110

• Fiuns - Lightning works best here. They cast a lot of magic.

110-140 - 60 mil/hr

• 110 Eaters dungeon (Ravenous Vault) - All melee, acid/pierce/slash/bludgeon. Melee D approaching 470 is around when they can never hit you. Slash works best on them.

140+ - 100-200 mil/hr

• Egg Orchard dungeons - Similar to eaters - all melee, acid/pierce/slash/bludgeon. Use piercing or bludgeoning damage.
