Grinding Locations

Wild Lands of Zelata (36-40):Solo/Duo
The area underneath the bridge to the Sanctum of Burning Souls is filled with camps of humanoids. These guys give some solid xp, while also bring in only a bit of a challenge for most classes, even 2 or 3 levels below them. If xp begins to slow down on these groups, more humanoids can be found in the NE corner of the map and can be a bit higher lvl, and usually less farmed.

Fields of the Dead Vanir, Wolves and Werewolves (40-50):Solo

There is a huge number of spots to grind out the 40s in this area, from the Vanir camps, down to the haunted forest, and up to the mountains infested with wolves.

Cannibal Cave (Eiglophian) 52-57:Solo/Duo/Group
Truly amazing alternative for a level range very limited in the quest department. Either solo/duo clear the regular version of the instance or group it up for the epic version, both work well and the constant respawns should keep your on your toes as the levels fly by.

Boars (Thunder River) 58-64:Solo/Duo
Located in the far south/southwest part of the map, these boars are generally untouched by questers as their out of the way from a majority of the Thunder River quest spots.

Cannibals (Thunder River) 65-69: Solo/Duo
The Thunder River cannibals can be found in camps in the Southeast Corner of the map, both down in the Ravine and up on the Cliffs. Both areas have a few quest related bosses that have a fairly high drop rate for blues.

Mammoths (Atzel's Approach) 67-72: Solo
The Southeast corner of Atzel's Approach is loaded with slow Mammoths that tend to stand in groups of 1-3. Their massive hit box, low health pool and rather slow attack speed add up to an easy grinding experience, with some nice leather at the same time.

Acolytes (Kheshatta) 72-76: AoE/Duo
The Mid-East part of the map houses a very large amount of robed caster-type mobs, which don't really tend to cast much. This makes for both weak melee mobs, and low hp mobs, on top of that they are also pretty good at forming large groups around you for mass AoE grinding solo or grouped.


Southern Camps (Kheshatta) 76-80: AoE/Duo
The southern wall of Kheshatta is littered with humanoid camps starting with the lvl 76-78~ death camps east of the southern city and the other camps located in the mountains south and south west of the southern city, although the southernmost camps may be more fit for duoing for less confident AoEers. Any groups of 3 or more usually lowers the XP too much though, switch to epic mode for that.
