Where would ya'll recomend to go to farm up from 50? I attempted Bloodfields but if I get 2 mobs in a pull (Which the bot seems to do pretty frequently) I'm fucked. Sometimes it can live but its a 50/50 chance if my war will grab agro on the second or third one before the first dies. I'm not sure if theres a setting I can do for him to keep agro on evreything without having all the AE agro from aa's and such but atm he just focuses one mob till it dies so the others are left beating my cleric down. My bard for some reason wont mez and often even IF he was going to attempt to the mobs are higher than 53 which is the limit for his current mez. I think part of the issue with the bard mez might be because he fizzles so much so he just stops casting mez and goes to something else almost immediately. Also noticed he will sometimes keep goin with the melody even after i've /end the macro. any advice appreciated I mostly just wana find a good place to afk lvl it up I like somewhere that I can stay for 10lvls although I do realize that as I get higher that gets harder to do. my guys are all pretty well geared averaging about 4k hp (war is 6k) using mostly defiant gear.

I'm a non-traditional who loves challenge, so not sure all these will be good recommendations, but here are a few to consider:
~50-60 - There are a number of Luclin zones that are good at that level, remote, and out in the open. Sanctus Seru (great plat iirc too since you are starting on a new server), Maiden's Eye and Umbral come to mind. Depending how afk you want to be, Fungus Grove Summon Beasties event is always fun, and you could scale it to what your group could handle pretty easily. Or outside that, 50 could be a good start to Planes hunting. PoN out in the open, or PoD. Both have spots where you could sit a little out of the way and get mostly singles from random mobs wandering by in LOS. Or deeper PoI has some open areas. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Dragon Necropolis, since I love that zone, though it would be harder, I can't imagine anyone would interrupt you.
60-70 Probably easiest would be some upper PoP zone. Tactics could be good, though traffic may still occasionally be high? Been a while. Hobgobs in PoN would be good for farming and leveling, but I know its a popular spot, so depends how afk. Fire is rarely bad, too. Stoneroot Falls could also probably have a few good places to setup camp with a little scouting.
70-80 - Elddar Forest is pretty out of the way, might be good? I didn't hunt there a lot. Vergalid Mines has a couple open rooms that may work, and doubt its popular these days.
From here I'm having trouble finding an open, out of the way spot. I know people like Dragonscale hills, for instance, but it's not something I could think is out of the way enough for me. I personally intend to stick to mostly instances to keep out of harms way. Remember DoD has a ton of those, that respawn, along with DoN for some of these mid levels. Just not sure they stay open long term (6 hour task isn't it?), so didn't include them since I didn't know how long you want to afk. Some thoughts on my part anywho.
awesome Definitely appreciate the advice will have to try those out when I get home from work. The hotzones definitely have a lot of traffic which until I started reading the forums I didn't even consider to be an issue. do GMs still ban for afk farming? I kinda thought since they downsized and stuff that they don't care anymore I rarely ever even see GMs around anymore when I used to see them on atleast once a week or so. Anyways its been kinda fun leveling from scratch its been so long since I've actually leveled usually I'll just log my 105 sk and swarm pl myself to 80 in no time lol. I'm going to go try out some of those zones and see how they workout the best thing for me is open space (So KA doens't get stuck) and plenty of mobs (but spread enough that im not gona pull 10 at once since my bard is retarded and doesn't like to mez anymore)
murdah, tell me what your team make up is, class/levels/aa's if any. On the bard, their mez spells typically allow them to mez higher mobs than you'd typically be xp'n in, do you have the latest and greatest for him? There's also an AA in their list that increases effectiveness of mezzes but I don't remember what level it starts at. If you're going to AFK fight, you want to be out of the way but you don't have to be at the ends of the earth either. Some zones have off path areas you can go to with small groups or solo's that may have traffic passing through other parts of the zone. Not saying to do or not, just be smart on the location choices.
50 war clr dru bard mage wiz bought all spells to 50 been trying to kill mobs that are 54-56 bard mez says it goes up to 53. aa=0

I would never afk at all while using MQ2 period but just my thoughts .
if 1 person gets the flu its no biggie but when the whole world gets the flu at same time
its epidemic and is handled as one
Eh probably shouldn't and hopefully I wont ever regret it but I've done it for years. the times when I wasn;t using mq2 to afk I'd just let mobs agro me and have a group full of mercs beat everything down lol I'm all about the afk farm if i can get stuff for free while working or sleeping its worth the risk
AFK is fine, maybe use the afk tools.
So if speed isn't required its probably not optimal.
50-60 PODisease near the castle
60-70 POEarth (pofire is better but if you want 100% afk I'd do earth, no one will go there)
70-80 Direwind where the army is, you shouldn't run out of spawns
80-90 depending on gear fort mech at the elevators pull range 1000
NOW stuff will slow down
90-95 You could do underquarry or lichen creep
95-100 you could do http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php/35007-Get-to-the-Beach-Powerleveling-75-100 , http://www.redguides.com/community/...e-Chateau-of-Filth-(Level-96-)?highlight=fear or
100-105 Insta spawn mob in the thullisaur mission You can only afk it 6 hours at a time though, otherwise what's his name has a paid macro that does the mission in tempest temple or http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php/31586-Argin-Hiz-KA-AFK-Cash-Exping?highlight=fear

I keep hearing about afk tools can you please explain what that is?
A set of features in KissAssist that can protect your account from GMs and other players. Settings and details here:

You can take your safety a step further with this macro:

I believe everyone should set these up as a courtesy to other players, at the very least.
Thanks very much!

Lots of people go to PoEarth on FV for the plane of war key quest. May not be as barren as you think considering you gotta farm mobs there + do a part of the quest there too.
