anyone been on test to check into any of the zones? I would assume they nerfed LGUk / unrest etc. and increased zones like Mistmoore/paw etc.
 
I think if someone takes the time to test so they have a primo leveling path they might keep it secret.

With test bonus exp it might be hard to tell but I think the bonus exp is the same as it is on FV and you could testbuff to certain levels
 
yeah, I was thinking that too. maybe have to play around on test this weekend!
 
/testbuff will get you to level 25 and I think it is perma 150% xp.
Also auto gold accounts and unlocked to EoK for free.
 
Although the xp per kill will be wrong, in theory you could test against other zones. I.E. if a lvl 25 mob gives, say 10% in Permafrost and a lvl 25 mob gives 15% in upper guk.. You could assume (perhaps after 10 tests) that Upper guk is superior to Permafrost.. Then move on to the next zone. Find all the lvl 25~ zones, all the 35~ zones and the 45-50 zones and test the percentage per even con kill. Again, you might not be getting that 15% per kill on Coirnav.. but you'll know you're maximizing your gains. Unless of course the optimal XP zone has sparce, slow spawns... Then you might as well take the 5% hit for the fast repops and mob congestion.

I was entertaining the idea of putting together a spreadsheet with my findings when mq2 works on test again.
 
Crushbone/Blackburrow are identical rates at level 1 with highest XP of 10% per level 1 con mob. It seems like the leveling path pre 20 will remain the same. Note: I haven't seen a post patch test on Befallen. It's possible this might be the best.

I need to test more tonight on upper levels. Most starting areas seem identical to previous, or worse.
 
Yeah it's been a community effort. But with Coirnav launching tomorrow, a lot of us are trying to find the most viable route ASAP :P
