Question - Instanced Dungeons for Group Leveling

[tfd52]

Hello!

I'm running a group on a 1999 Live Server, and I have my group in the 65-72 range. Like most of you, I have a job, people to take care of, etc.

I've been using the /mac LDoN here with great success. Wonderful program for my purposes, which is to log on for about 60-90 minutes a day.
My problem with LDoN after Level 65 is that EXP drops to about 0.03 per cent per mob.
I'm trying to get to Level 80 and use MQ2Grind. Any group instanced zones out there with better than 1 per cent per mob EXP as I grind towards Level 80?

i didnt think project 1999 liked people using mq, that they were more up in arms than DPG?

I was thinking the same. Years ago I logged on my son's toon to transfer items. Even though I had the IP waiver, I was nailed for two boxes on the same hardware. I was being lazy and not wanting to walk to the other side of our house. Both accounts banned.

Sorry for my lack of clarity, but the server is on DBG Live and it is one of the "original" servers from 1999. I didn't want to blatntly come out and say, "hey, I'm using VV mac LDoN on xxxxxxx server".

Again, my apologies for not making my post clearer.

I usually did LDoN > Dranik Scar missions > Vxed/Hive > MG > Heroic adventures or can do feerot mission /gouzah safari to 90/95 at which point i just kept doing heroic adventures for currency

Circa 2000-01, there used to be sites which would list the ZEM (Zone Experience Modifier) for each zone in Kunark et al. Are there any sites out there which will show which of the "modern" zones is more EXP profitable to spend time for leveling purposes? Again, is there an instanced group zone out there > lvl 65 giving 1 per cent per mob for levels 70-80?

There are lots of suggestions and advice on where to go at pretty much any level - you just have to google it all out. No one really keeps up with ZEM tables anymore because the game has moved past that and it was good for under level 60

At your level, most players do the Daily Hot Zone from Teek which gives bonus exp and keep an eye on how much you get in that zone after you finish the kill 5. You also will need to get 2 or 3 near your level cause if you only get 1 then that's all till the next day. These go up to level 95 but you can only get ones near your level.

Once your 75 there may be some HA you can get from the other Teek. This have good exp but its all at the end, nothing per mob kill as your killing.

Don't forget Overseer, during the recent exp bonus weekend a couple of my guys got full levels of exp out of it.

And as soon as you hit 75, be sure to do the Into the Temple (A) (Quellious' Request) and Seal of Approval tasks for some fast, easy (non-combat) major xp! (almost 1 level worth)

Thanks, Red, for your reply and your advice.
Two of my most used /mac here on RG have been the Tutorial and the LDoN mission mac. Mega thanks to their coders!!!
But, I'm thinking about trying to slowly, 60-90 minutes a pop, walking through the xpacs after PoP.
GoD, OoW, DoN, DoD, etc.
What /mac /plugin /Lua would be best suited as I crawl through and explore these xpacs I've never seen before? I'm familiar with KA and I enjoy adjusting the conditions and toggling values as needed. Run my main manually and place the rest of the group Role=Assist and ChaseAssist=1 as I check out zones in the game I've never seen before?

Fibble 5 in DoDH (https://www.raspersrealm.com/Everquest/DoDH/mission_Summary.html) is great exp from 70-75. You can probably even do the lower level version a bit earlier. The only catch is you need to do 1-4 at least one time first to unlock it and you need a bit of faction to pull Fibble 1. You can get the faction by killing stuff in Corathus Creep or, ideally, you can have someone else pull Fibble 5 for you because it is actually the best place to raise that faction.

Hides You Seek is better in the DoDH era, it's a respawning instance of The Hive and is currently a hot zone.
