New areas for levels 25-30?

ek05

Dalayan Beginner
I have played SoD and leveled a few characters up to about 30 and have been experiencing the same problems with this level range that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Currently there are only a few places I find you can level in Dalaya at this level range.
Levels 20-25 -

Warpstone Caverns

I hate this area honestly however the area is so ridiculously good I grind it out no matter what. Honestly I feel as though this is the ONLY place to level during this level range. No other area seems worth it at all if there even is an area.

I grinded some of the mobs on the coast of butcherblock mountains (dont remember the sod name) however being in an area with roaming mobs seems kind of ridiculous.

Levels 25-30

Kaladim - This is the only where I can find any groups to be leveling. Also if there is one group taking the left side theres nothing that can be done except wait for a group. Grinding the casters on the side is just begging for exp debt because they are way too risky for the reward.

The lack of mobs and typical requirement of a group makes Kaladim some what of a pain. Also if there is an established group on the left side you should basically log off or play an alt.

Though the money made here from ectoplasm is great... its still a drag logging in and logging off immediately because of lack of mobs and an established group on the left side.

Yaralith?

The throne room is a great area for exp however once again, because of the issue of only a single area being worth while in this zone it causes problems. I love the throne room however the run to Yaralith is quite long. Getting there and finding a group already established there is a drag considering there is no other area you can grind in this zone at this level range.

South Badlands-

The liodreths outside of paw are great exp. However getting attacked by the higher level corrupted creatures and having virtually no chance of survival running a short distance into the lair of paw makes this area not worth it at all to me.

There arent that many liodreths outside and also the corrupted creatures make leveling almost impossible here without acquiring exp debt every other twenty minutes.

Upper Guk (sorry cant remember the exact name again, miech... blah)

Quite dangerous considering the level range of the mobs here. However at least the loot possibilities make this zone worthwhile. However its next to impossible to find a group here in this zone at this level range.


What Im asking is can you make a zone where all the mobs are in a relative range or at least there are a few area to grind so maybe more than 1 group can actually level in this zone when the groups are in the same level range?

The distance between these areas is also so great that you could check all three areas and be out of luck and should have just waited a hour for a spot in a group. Its annoying and disappointing.

Does anyone else feel that this level range is 100% unenjoyable?
 
You've missed east badlands, north badlands, north wastes, shrouded isle, mistwoods rats, and kings pass just for what I can name offhand.

You might also consider checking lake starfall, cyc gorge, whisperling forest, and everfrost.
 
The orc camps in Oasis fit in this range, too. There are already more areas that support these level ranges than there are players to use them. I don't think adding one more zone is going to be very helpfull. Maybe if you post some specific improvements you'd like to see made to one or more of these zones the Dungeon Resotration Project will be able make some of these zones more fun for you.

Another thing, you can't claim that a zone is flawed because somebody else doesn't have a group there waiting for you to join them. Sometimes you have to be the one to start the group.

On the issue of the zone being some distance apart, if you learn to use the /who command you can find out what activities are going on in the zones you are interested in. You shouldn't really need to run to a zone before you have a group there.

...means "I want to have it made easier than it already is.

There is so many other places that have been listed in this thread Ill just say
 
I think there are plenty of places to lvl for 20-30 and whatnot. If any effort was going to be made for new exp zones, it should be for lvl 65 exp zones. You might spend a week going from 20-30, but once you're 65...

Also, have you tried simple maps???

Simple maps are amazing for exp, and worth the price of 75p from the plat + gems inside (for the buyer). Sure, you might get (un)lucky expwise and the chest spawns in two waves, but usually you're going to be able to grind out half, most, or even an entire level with one or two maps...not to mention the loot will give you pimp factor (criticals for a rogue at level 20?)
