I built a new toon and I wanted to level him to high enough to group with my box crew for the double XP weekend.
I am using a high level bard with max ca/cs for his level (and book in primary) to power level the lowbie toon. the new toon is melee so I hopped down and purchased a few pbae pots.
The new toon stayed in the tutorial until it reached level 5 and I became very bored of the tutorial.
From there I moved both toons to the skeletons in crescent reach. I killed those there until they were no longer red.
I moved from there to blightfire moore and killed skeletons there until 34 (they were blue at this point)

Now there was a need for mobs that do not flee, and was not a pita to try and get to. I did not want to have to move every pull. I started my search online, and I came across a random reddit post about power leveling in everquest. There is mention of a group task that you get in PoK called Hatching a Plan. I looked the task up on allakhazam and it was listed as level 90 and min group members of 1. Below is the strategy that I used for a couple of rounds in this mission. Perhaps this can be scripted to make it that much faster, but it has high visibility since the quest NPC is next to the main bank in POK and I did not see any repops.


Request the mission by saying investigate to Destrea Kinmare in POK (on low level toon) .. The level of mobs in the instance are dynamic / based on the level of the first character to zone into the instance....
Zone into the instance to create the zone
/taskadd the high level toon (There does not appear to be any level restrictions, and not required to be in group to be in instance)
zone into the instance with the high level toon
pull the entire zone to the zone line
blow off pbae , or whatever method you use to dmg all mobs
start DS on high level and let mobs die to DS damage.

Zone back out drop instance on both toons then repeate.

Ooh. I was looking for a place to DSPL from ~46-70 so I can get PLees (god that word looks odd) to group with my decapper. This will be VERY handy. Thank you.
 
do DS PL 46-55 in Po Innovtion 55to 62 is on Crypt of Decay and 62-70 in sunderrock springs, but to DS there you need 2 healers 90+ to survived the hits
 
I just got my newest toon to 67 so far using the instance. I will have to look at the other zones mentioned maybe they would have been faster.
 
its the one you buy from zordak ragefire, when nagafen is not up in solusek B (next to lavastorm)
 
On test... Anyone check if that PoK task is still valid?

- Increased the level spread for most shared tasks to match the experience sharing level spread for the lowest level participants. In other words, as long as the lowest-level player is allowed in the task, any player that can share experience with that player should also be allowed in the same task.
 
@nicesandwiches: Confirmed. I just grabbed task on a 1 and added a 100, Hatching a Plan is still infinitely spreadable.
 
Only issue you may run into is it seems that the min mob lvl is low-mid 20's. Until about lvl 9 I had trouble affecting enough mobs. So you may want to get your toon to about lvl 10 to make it more effective.
 
I got my chars up to 18 in CR then got to 70 in this instance. The mobs seem to increase in level once every 10 levels - they are red/yellow when my chars are in X1-2 levels and they are blue/lblue by X9. Once mobs ticked up to 70, my 85 SK couldn't handle DS PLing in here and we moved on to fort mech for better xp
 
Minimum mob level in the zone is 23-24.
So when you create your new alt, PL them in CR (Crescent Reach) on the 1st bridge to lvl 5.
Then move to north on bridge in front or undeads cave to level 17.
Go to PoK, at MAIN bank and speak with NPC "Destrea Kinmare".
Say "Investigate" to take the task, zone with your alts to set mobs level. Mobs stop drop something after a patch.
If the 1st alt who zone is level 1-29, mobs will be 23-24.
If your alt is 30-39, mobs will be 33-34
lvl 40-49 => 43-44
lvl 50-59 => 53-54
lvl 60-69 => 63-64
lvl 70-79 => 73-74
If you are skilled, you can get XP bonus from 1 potion for 5 hours !
Over level 73-75, go kill gnomes in Fortress Mechanotus hotzone, mobs are 76-78.
At level 75 you can group them with char 105 and at lvl 80 with level 110.

This still work? It was nerfed a while back.
 
What was the nerf all about then? Something about the mobs scaling or not scaling or maxing out or something?
 
I don't know all that was changed, the one thing i do notice is they no longer drop items. But let's be honest i wasn't doing it for plat.
 
My guess is the exp is 20 to 30% lower.... It is faster to manually PL your toons in the right places. But, I can go from level 1 to 75 using the same macro.
