Tortage 1-20

I've done Tortage a million times, so its a cool place and all, but I
try to power through it now. Ignore this section if you want to just
!@#$%^* around and enjoy the experience like a rp !@#$%^*.

Anyway, start your nightime (NT) quests as soon as you walk into the
gates/inn. During the NT quests kill everything you see and you will end
up at level 9 or around there (ive managed 10). If you don't hit 10,
then go back to daytime (DT) and run some the beginning quests just
outside the inn in Tortage.

Once 10 you can continue the NT quests, kill everything you see and you
should manage level 13ish. Head back into DT and down near the harbor
is a large boat on land with stairs. Boozed Bullies are level 17
neutral mobs with extremely fast respawn rates. At 13 you should be able to
solo these one at a time. Grind out to 15 (its like 25 kills a level
with the token exploit).

At 15 return to NT and continue those quests. Kill everything blah
blah. You should end up 17 or close to it. At 17 you can start the "End
Battle" with Valeria. Don't begin the quest though, its a point of no
return. Instead, return to DT and pick up all the quests you can find in
the city, then head to the White Shrouded Isle or Acheronian Ruins. Just
run through and complete all the quests in each zone, turn them in,
rinse repeat a couple times and eventually you'll hit 19 pretty quickly.
Stay away from the Underhalls, that place is full of zoning and mass
confusion because there is no map, but the quests are good so its your
call, but I'd just ignore those quests.

Once 19, return to NT for the last time and finish the Tortage
experience. You can grind on the mobs in there a bit, because you want to be 20
when you leave or very close to it. The reason being is that once you
leave tortage you won't find any sub 20 mobs (maybe a few) but the
difficulty ramps up quite a bit. At level 20 you get access to all new
armor and weapons with a major dps increase.

You're done, gtfo, no more !@#$%^* !@#$%^* single player modes.


Conall's Valley 21-31

You are going to get ported to whichever home city your race belongs
to; cimmerian -> connarch's village (conall's valley), aquelonian - old
tarantia (wild lands), stygian -> khemi (khopshef province). I've only
done CV because I know it, I like it, and I think its more linear than
the other zones, but regardless all 3 support leveling 20-30 and wild
lands even higher. You can find a ship captain or stagecoach driver in
the cities to get ported to the other areas if you wanted.

Run around and grab all the quests in the village. Get new
armor/weapons/food/potions (you get upgrades to all these every 10 levels so check
the merchants in the relative zones). The valley itself is very
straightforward and linear, so just do your quests and by the time you reach
the other side of the zone you will be 30, there are some group
quest/mobs here called Yrmish.


Wild Lands/Border Ranges 32-39

Use the stagecoach/ship captains to get here. You have to go to Old
Tarantia and find the captain that will take you to Wild Lands.

You can go about this 2 ways and I'm not sure what is more efficient.
You could just start in the town and grab all the quests (some will be
grey but its the same xp) so you can get the chained quests for the
higher level areas of the zone or...just head toward the SE corner of map
and pick up the quests down there for the Border Ranges, which is an
instanced area for solo or small group play. BR will get you quite a few
levels and some nice rewards.

Once you finished BR and the quests around that area you should be near
35ish. Head to the NW part of the zone and get those quests, they will
lead you to the far east valley and NE area where there are a !@#$%^* ton
of 37-39 mobs (or maybe they were 35-37, i cant remember). Anyway, do
the quests and grind here to 38-39.


Noble District 40ish

This is a connecting zone from Old Tarantia.

Lots of quest here, just pick them up and do them. GOTO THE ARENA with some friends and do all of your solo quests and the group quests, you get a purple at the end of the group quests. boss ranges from 40-58, 2 lvls per boss and the group ones are epic bosses.


Field of the Dead 41-50

This zone is located on the far east end of Conall's Valley.

It's easy sailing from here. Just do the quests and the chains and you
will be 50 by the end of the zone. I think there was some group content
here in a small area, can't remember cause there was no one to group
with! also, easy 3 lvls within the first 3 hours of being here.


Eiglophian Mountains 51-60

This zone connects with Field of the Dead on the far east side.

Again, just like FotD, though much more linear. Group content maybe,
can't remember, NE corner I think. You'll hit 59-60 by the end of the
zone. I think I grinded a little bit just to hit 60 before the next area.

Thunder River 60ish

Quests and grinding....if you go here.

Aztel's Approach 61-73

In Field of the Dead there is a gate that leads to the Laceish Plains
(right next to where you zone in the first time, near the valley), the
cimmerian building and resource zone, go through it and in the plains
the top NW side is the gate that leads to Aztel's Approach.

This zone is awesomesauce. Tons of !@#$%^* to do. Quests kinda die off at
70, but if you grind or level elsewhere to 72 there is a few more quest
chains that open up. There are 2 full group instances here and a raid
dragon lair. !@#$%^* massive zone.


Kheshatta 73-80

Pain in the !@#$%^* to get to. Travel to Khemi and find the captain that
ports you to the khopshef province, I believe you travel all the south
(might be North) to the Purple Lotus Swamp. Now, when I did it, the map
here was broken so the only way to find the kheshatta entrance by having
a quest that ended in that zone, which you should have gotten in
Aztel's. Load up that quest in your tracker and use the map to head in that
general direction, the map may be fixed now so this could all be
redundant.

Last zone. Tons of quests. Crazy !@#$%^* going on in the middle. Quests
run out by around 77-78, its grind or die, or do an instance. There are
2-3 full group instances and like 3 raid instances in this zone. Best
place to grind is the Void camp in the SE area.

Hit 80 and your done.

Anything? bumps? replies? nothing?

Useless, this just gives directions (which you can get using the ingame map) to the zones you should level in for a specific bracket (the levels of which are labeled on the ingame map).

did you type this up? if so, then I suggest this goes into confirmed as this does explainw here to get quests for the zones and I did actually find this useful.

Personally I went to Thunder River at lv 57. There is a quest you get from the Dinog Settlement in the Epi?? Mountains that sends you over to Thunder River. Once you get there you should be able to get about 4-5 quests. Each of these can be done at lv 57 at least on a ranger anyway. Once the quests are done you can just grind here and head back to the mountains to finish up some quests (if there are any).

wats the token exploit?

1 nays and 1 yays.

Can we get some more of both.

/nay

If you press M and look at the world map you can see the levels of each zone. Each quest within that zone will bring you to mobs you can kill or mobs they expect you should be able to kill. You really don't need a guide considering the game will lead you to where you need to go by itself.

/nay

Here's a good tip just about everyone uses..

for levels 54-59 go to Cannibal Caves and grind it. You get decent xp, the mobs are super easy, and it is a solo instance so no one is there to gank you.

Also, if you hadn't done the arena quests yet and you are 58-60 go do them, you get about 300k xp and you mostly one shot mobs. You also end up with about 50 silver and full bags of loot.

did anyone post what token exploits are anywhere ?
