Leveling - Best place to PL a couple toons

[Uyndaio]

So, Im going to be using a 105 mage, 105 enchanter, with a couple mercs to PL a War and a bard from 80-105, this leave out my normal killing spots, my group is too weak without the rest of my group.
note: could use a 105 sk and 105 zerk to do the pling if a melee group would work better in a spot.
ive been gone for the last 5 expansions until EoK so am really rusty. on good spots. Lets hear where you would take them

If you can do 105 SK / Mage / Enc ... then you can plvl a Cleric/2x Wizzies or something like that and have a solid group

I would suggest splitting into 2 groups:

SK/ENC/2 Merc Clerics for tanking/pulling, this group is not supposed to get XP adjust your macros if they do

MAG/BER + your PL guys + any merc + in the DPS/Xp group

Then you can do pretty much anything you want in the grinding guide: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/37493-WIKI-AFK-Grinding-Farming

depending on your server's population & etc. any of the above from House of Thule through about CoTF should be manageable (depending on how well your mage pet tanks or your sk tanks). TBM might also be workable and could offer a simpler path to gear I haven't gotten there yet.

When you get to 100+ish you may want to do the Gribble heroic adventure series for awhile to get them lvl 100 non-visible gear. the TDS Tier 1 visibles (Castaway) seems relatively common on the servers I play but the non-visible TDS pieces seem rare.

If you elect to split to two groups (which may not be a bad idea) there's a post on fellowship exp sharing that's worth a read that may help speed the process:

To pile onto the fellowship answer. I would never level a character to 105 without first maxing fellowship xp. After decades of EQ the speed of leveling with a max green fellowship bar still astounds me. Go do something meaningful with your 105s (farming remnants is a good idea since they are a super easy way of gearing up 105s) all set to share and capped xp.

PS: looking at your group makeups you should really level a f2p cleric. Autocleric is INSANELY good.

If you can set the SK up in full Cohort's there is no better xp that EoK. You can PL a toon from 85-105 in a few days just doing normal grouping xp. In FM the drogans are especially nice since they're mostly blue con and have few hps (compared to the rest of EoK). Put the SK/Zerk to work and you'll make short order of EoK trash mobs. I have a SK with only cohort armor and wurm and he can tank 2 drogans np, honestly the rest is heroic gear so I'm sure you're already a leg up on that non-vis.

This. All day. I came back to EQ from 4 years off and got my SK to 105, got some EoK t1 and HH seb drops and he's doing alright in Lcea and FM with a couple healer mercs (i'm still leveling my clr). I was using the guides in the AFK grinding/farming wiki and going slow for aa'ing in older expac zones because it was safe (no deaths, named were cake, and I wouldn't have to worry about the toons as I worked on reports or other work stuff). Now I can do the same thing in Lcea or SW and I'm getting about 10x the xp per kill.

Also what helps A LOT is to make sure you have current expansion augs for your tank and all your type 5's. The AC and stats are $$ in keeping your crew alive .
