Taiisien has his posted as a cleric but I figured I would contribute mine as a druid.

(http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=5825

New to the boards and the programing game but have picked up a lot in the past few days.

*Works best if you are playing an AE class but it can work with any. Levels may be off some it's been a while but I've used this for a ton of friends and quite a few alts of my own.

1-10 Kurns Tower (I'm usually here for about an hour)

Use a low level DS on yourself, pull the mobs and let them whack away. I say use the low level one as it takes the new toon a while to get a hit in...all the mobs will be red for a while. I go upstairs with the skellies, as you'll see I try to focus my locations to where I can get a hold of many undead mobs. When you start actually becoming proficient at hitting the mobs use the low level toon to pull and just keep running around.

10-25 Unrest (About 2 hours if I remember right)

I pull the courtyard outside along the back wall until it slows down. I keep DS on the low level character and just chain pull. The mobs have a big aggro radius and will aggro one another so just keep switching targets and use level of DS that will allow you to get your hits in. Spiders and some mobs will run, let them, they'll just bring back more friends to kill for you.

Once the courtyard slows down hit the building. I go just inside the double doors in the back and pull the 3 floors of mobs to me down there. This is when I use the druid with DS on him. If you can AE on the low level toon use it after they all get fairly low on health to prevent from pulling aggro too early. If you do not have an AE on the low level toon you'll have to pull fewer mobs so you can target each one individually and hit them.

Once it slows down hit the basement and do the same thing, using the druid to pull and have DS on it. When you clear out the basement pull the upper floors down to you while waiting for repops.

25-38 Kaesora (Off of Field of Bone) (Probably 3-4 hours)

I go drop down the path towards the library area and keep my low level guy there, be careful a spider warps into the area and will sometimes aggro and sometimes it won't just be careful and you'll be okay. Pull with the druid and use DS on yourself. I try to pull around 4 mobs at a time so I can make sure I hit them all. Once I get a few levels I'll pull up to 10 or so with no problem. Have Spirit of the Wood or Grove handy after you have tagged the mobs for a faster kill.

35-45 The Hole (I'm going to assume 5 hours, but I'm not positive)

I'll get into wolf form and wiggle my way through the door. I'll pull the zone in area with my druid for the first little while until it slows down. Then I'll go to the first drop off ramp and pull all the golems and castle mobs. This is really good xp for the first while.

45-52 City of Mist (4 hours about)

I just run through the area with the reavers pulling with the druid and letting them whack away while I tag with the PL toon. Repop is decent and I'll pull the CY's if I don't have any other mobs. I typically do a circle through the area just outside the reaver building then go into the buildings in the courtyard, then return.

After 52 it kind of sucks imo. I'll get PoV access and kite the inner or outer camp on my druid with a DC frog in tow or just group with people. This is my sticking point really.

** A few items to consider bringing with you:
- DS potions to stack with the druids DS
- Ceramic Bands, instant damage clickie with unlimited charges (TS or bazaar bought)
- a mount if you are a caster so you can continuously med
- Holgresh Mojo Stick (AE for non AE classes) ***Thanks Pugs***

It's not the best but it's what I have to offer, this is actually one thing I'm pretty good at. I'm sure some of you, as some already have, will help me understand other things on the boards.

Thanks and feel free to update or make suggestions to this. Maybe I'll periodically update it. If anything my times are off, like I said it's been a while.

When I was PL'ing my bard in Kurns, I was using a lvl 65 ranger. I casted the highest DS on him (with a temp too), I then ran the bard around and gathered all the skelly's I could find, playing the lvl 1 AE song, doing at least 1 dmg to all the skellys, and letting the DS kill them. So it all depends on the class that you are PL'ing. Just my thoughts on it...good post btw
 
My buddy was just using this, he was one of the guys that have been banned and is leveling a warrior. He went to the Hole at 33 and was 37 in just under an hour. I'll post more as he gives me adequate feedback.
 
It really surprises me that everyone leaves out Netherbian Lair and Scarlet Desert. Both of them are hot zones and very uber xp for pl'ing. When I pl'd my baby bard using my Druid, I took him to Netherbian from lvl 10 to 25 which took just a few hours. After that, go camp the entryway in Scarlet Desert on the Twilight Side. Make sure you do not pull the shamans at first as they are constant casters. Best thing I did was camp my bard just inside on the rocks and ran druid around on the drog until I snare aggro'd around 20 or so mobs. Then just ran back and forth kiting the entire pack of them using aoe's dropping them 4 at a time. Was very easy and unbelievablly fast xp up to around 45 or so.
 
Pugs good call. That would work very well. I may have to farm a few of those.
 
After 52 do howling stones

if you dont know how to get the key here is how get xalgoz's fang while you are in Kaesorea and the spear from named sarnak in fort of LILO and turn them in to Durgoz in Swamp of no hope.

Go through all wings and get the parts for the master key or /gank em then you can skip the North and West wings ... i dont recommend skiping South until 58-59
if you want to skip south and get past the east trap Get FoE before you zone in kill west and stand on the firepot and run east looking straight up you should make the ledge.
