Note: Although this list does show you all recommended areas for leveling 1-75 It does not provide every option for leveling.

70-75 King Ranperre's Tomb (secret room)
Easy place to level and you rarely die.. I take that back

Do you seriously think this is a great guide? It would be a greater guide if you 1) Include the types of jobs that will be efficient to kill the mob; 2) tell us around how much exp the mobs gives; 3) what dangerous specials the mob does; 4) where to camp. Anything less than this is merely a cut and paste from somewhere any other person can look up on their own.

In the Yuhtung section, you said that people should fight lizards at 25... sure if you want them to die. Without stona, fighting lizards is suicide. Stona is a level 39 whm spell.

Yhoat is a good leveling place from 28-32, def much easier than weapons for mages for 30-33 because weapons are highly resistant to magic.

Fighting Lost Soul's is really pointless for Rangers and Thieves b/c they do piercing damage which means that their damage is halved. Plus, until monks get raging fists, their ability to rape bones is still weak.

At quicksand caves from lvl 50-53 you mentioned that groups should kill anticans and beetles? What quicksand caves? If people go the quicksand caves in Eastern Altepa Desert, they'll only find toughs. They'll have to enter the quicksand caves in Western Altepa desert, but out of 6 entrances, where do they enter?

64-66 torama? Wow...that sounds like crappy exp. tops, you can stay there till 64, anything more makes it useless for a party to stay because they can get better exp elsewhere

At cape terrigan, people should stay till 66 and start at 63. They shouldn't be fighting raptors, but only cockatrices. When you fight these mobs, you should bring a whm for stona.

Ru aun gardens? Really. There's only 4 mob types in ruaun gardens - pots, birds, elementals, robots, no weapons. To get to weapons, you must go inside, to the shrine of ru avitau or you can go down from hall of the gods and exp in ro'maeve.

At level 75, you'll be stuck where to get merits at. Do you want fast chains or do you want big kills? Unfortunately, there are no longer big kills, unless you *secret exposed* GO TO LEVEL CAPPED AREAS. If you turn on merit points and exp on the incredibly tough mobs there, you gain full exp, than if you were above the capped level and had exp on.

King Ranpeare's Tomb is excellent w/ manaburn or monk burn parties as long as there is only at max 1 other party at your camp.

Ulegr... Range is good exp/farming (dark crystals/minotaur stuff/demon stuff) if you want some excitement

The statues where Ulli... spawns are good and drop light crystals and raxa (100k on fairy)

If you go to The Garden of Rhu'met, you can find some Aerns that repop every 5 min, there are 4 in each room, but sometimes they reraise, so essentially you have a limitless supply of very tough mobs in one confined area that do not aggro. What they drop varies, but they'll eventually drop an HQ Aern organ which pops an important NM for black mages.

yeh...id suggest not following this guide..its pretty much setting you up for failire...btw bibiki bay is good until 75 also...angler goblins and !@#$%^&* are easy for fast xp, and its a nice setting, not hard on the eyes.

bibiki bay to 75? no thanks.

You can!

Also I have heard in Ku tunnel fighting the dragons I forgot their names but is in the Lower area were you have to wait for the rock to go down before entering.

Only Ptys that dont want to PTy in those areas are those that are conserned with Big # for Xp and at those lvls no matter where you go the XP # are going to be low.

An excellent leveling location guide.

That other guide is very good. It has nice pretty colors too;P
