See something out of date?
Level 2 users can edit this wikipost, so give us a hand!

Razkle · Jan 21, 2016

you are officially my favorite person

playbetter · Jan 22, 2016

Is it possible to rename with standardized naming?
Min to Max level, Zone, Special requirements, ....
0-2, TutorialA, you must be breathing and over 2 years old

Just a thought. I would be willing to help.

The goal is to organize it by expansion and level recommendations. Most people include the level in their post, so sorting by expansion seems a good first criteria.

Razkle · Jan 22, 2016

Volunteers to test any that may or may not still be valid, I would be available for any of that....

eqgeek · Jan 22, 2016

I have some spots in TBM that I think would work for AFK but I don't have the subscription on my other accounts to see if it's truly viable. If someone has TBM on a few accounts I could post some things to try.

crazykcards · Jan 22, 2016

I have a group of TBM accounts all 105 all maxed AA. I also have a 100 group that im working on so like Razkle, I'm available to test stuff out.

wow great guide collection , this will defiantly help out my leveling.

GPS_Soldier · Mar 10, 2016

Wow, after being away from the game for over 9 months, nice to see this... and to see my guides on here as well

Eq_Dna · Mar 29, 2016

As usual, my job is to ask the stupid questions.
Anybody know of an instanced zone that a group of TBM geared 105's can AA in and the mobs respawn?
Afk farming on Zek is dangerous, so, poor exp is better than no exp.

anything would help.
Thanks.

Doesn't the Calling Phantasm mission respawn for six hours?

Noobhaxor · Apr 15, 2016

Cleaned the wiki up a bit and added a couple new guides and organized the newbie/other area.

Does this only work with a certain group combo or can it be done with any afk group?

Depends on the camp. Some need a mezzer, some don't.

Generally speaking with my experience on most with this list, all you need a decent group geared tank, a cleric, and a mezzer. The only encounter ive had issues with is Gwararar in ETWK. I could get him while driving but semi afk, my group would wipe. That falls on me for being lazy with holys/downs.

Emerica · Nov 28, 2016

Updated and added eok stuff in. If you are writing any grind spots for eok be sure to add them here.

TreeHuginDruid · Apr 9, 2017

EqGeek ... I added a link addition to your leveling guide to include classic EQ and early expansions ....for early expansion progression servers.

It's something that Maskoi posted about in some thread i ran across... its a great site for leveling guide info.

Consider it a placeholder for if/when you decide to make your own write up for early expansion progression servers.

EQman0311 · Jun 18, 2017

Anyone come up with any new spots for level 100+ afk spots? Or is this pretty much it?

I think there are plenty of people afk'ing in 100+ spots, but maybe not all are publicized. This is a decent place to start, though. I recommend finding your own spot out of the way and away from named spawns. Also, turn on AFK tools.

EQman0311 · Jun 19, 2017

Named spawns are not good?

Sum1 · Jun 20, 2017

EQman0311 said:

If you're AFK grinding in a named spawn point you run a much greater risk of someone coming by who also wants to kill that named and catching you. If you fail to implement AFK tools properly you'll then be botting happily away within full view of someone who knows you're monopolizing a camp while afk. This isn't generally a good idea, and is a good way to bring more attention to MQ2 AND/OR get you reported, suspended, and maybe banned.

LurkMcGurk · Feb 9, 2018

Updated the shit out of this thread.

Tons of locations added - tons more soon to be added.

Sorted it by expansion as to share the love with our TLP brothers.

EQman0311 · Dec 2, 2018

This forum section needs some new love and updates!

What expansions are you looking for more locations for? I added many from my website at the start of this year back in feb but I haven't added anymore since.

If you are after current expansion stuff: https://www.almarsguides.com/eq/leveling/RoS/

That's all I have for now, I will probably be adding more RoS zones after Burning Lands comes out and I actually intend to do locations in Burning Lands too while it is current this time.

eqplayer16 · Dec 2, 2018

Added direwind cliffs spot from my recent excursions thanks for the reminder!

VeteranAssling · Dec 15, 2018

I can tell you that afk spots in TBL are out the window with tiny islands and knockback mobs. DB really hammered people who box in this one

bmars06 · Mar 20, 2019

Would some some RoS and TBL spots listed here!

tc215215 · Mar 21, 2019

Unfortunately I advice your tank to be T3 GEARED in order to farm most TBL spot without constant dying. Cross road in Southwest Empyr is my favourite. Just make sure you pin your toons to counter KB/CHARM. And a BST/MAG helps if your tank got mezzed.

Post a write-up in here about this spot and your strategy and let's get it added as the first TBL guide!!!

chrisvdv · Sep 16, 2019

Sorry to ask how do this afk grinding works?

watisthis · Sep 16, 2019

It refers to the idea of autonomous pulling and killing of mobs using macros or plugins to control your characters. If you spend enough time researching and learning how to set up the various afk tools that have been created for MQ2 then you might even get away with it. But you have to be very careful.

whytdrumer · Mar 17, 2020

This is an amazing resource. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together.

eqgeek · Mar 18, 2020

I haven't kept this up to date because I left the game after RoS. I recently returned just after TOV launched, and it appears that the game makers decided that "grinding XP" should stop. Probably due to how easy it is to just park our bots and go for a walk while they level. It's not impossible to grind, but it's slower for sure. The majority of the experience comes from completing quests. In fact, my level 103 gained an entire level after finishing the merc/partisan of EW. Unfortunately, going from 110-115 will be impossible because the quests do not give the same amount of experience the 2nd time around.

If I wanted to AFK grind (I'm always at the keyboard though) I think it still effectual in RoS zones where your kill rate is faster. So just something to think about.

ellsa20 · Mar 18, 2020

To further add upon geeks statement, if you can handle Tomb in Ros pretty well, you can take a crew from 110-115 in about two days played grinding

eqgeek · Mar 19, 2020

Here are 2 spots where you can AFK grind in Skyfire (RoS) without fear of the dragon nukes. . There are named at both of these camps.

1. In the tunnels with the right group, you can endlessly pull and farm conflagrant ore.
2. There is a hill in this area (I think it's very close to where the wizport is) where you can park your group and pull mostly singles, mostly sarnak near the entrance to Gorowyn. Expand your radius to pull whatever you want, ignore what you want.

There are spots in Gorowyn also, I'll look at writing these up.

Sustained · Apr 17, 2020

Im looking to get into Tov im a 110 crew mostly tov1 geared still working on Augs any camp suggestions for just solid xp

v1ndi · Apr 17, 2020

T2 RoS is your best bet, Goro, Sathir's, etc.

Gohast · Apr 17, 2020

I second Sathir's. Try to get into 3rd room though, its the easiest camp to hold.

Warl0ck45 · Apr 18, 2020

If you can handle ToV, then your best bet for XP is just to do the tasks/progression. Using 110 toons I ended up with 113-115 toons doing all but a few of the group missions.

Otherwise, realize that 110-115 are hell levels for XP killing. It is a slow grind, so pretty much anyplace you can handle large quantities with out sitting on some main quest/zone entrance would work. I was doing well in GMM for example in certain areas, but figured I might as well name hunt ToV Named while XPing for the container rewards, when I was not feeling up to questing.
