I just asked basically the same question only focused on 66 and up.
I can tell you my path..
Crescent Reach till late teens.
Start up high near the bears and cougars. They are red so may have to have merc healer to help shammy healer but after a few levels they can fly solo.
Progress toward the back of the zone as you level. Crocs and gnolls are good at 11 or 12 then move back to skelly area and it will take you to the upper teens.
Blightfire Moors.
Rats and snakes near zone in till 20ish. If you go left it's not so heavy traffic.
Put this in your KissAssist_Info.ini under MobsToIgnore for that area "a blightfire witchlamp", they will kick your butt.
Gnolls just in the corner away from the rats till 25ish then go to the Wasps in the upper right corner. I found a good place to afk there.
If you are going to AFK.. learn to use MQ2Navigation, your puller will do amazing things with that loaded. Mine would run in the tunnels, grab a few mobs and run back out and over to my team. Cool to watch ))
I got on late at night near the wasps.. set Kissassist to AFK mode and they progressed to 30 pretty quickly. To AFK go north up near the Hive thing. It puts the wasps between you and most traffic in the area. Of course you can pull from the Hive area too. My team of 5 could slaughter them pretty quickly so a large pull radius of 700 to 800 is good. Oh and don't forget to set these in your mobs to ignore.. a waspling cocoon,Buzzazar,
After that I went to Goru`kar Mesa.
Started with the snakes like in Almar's guide. Took me to 40ish. Not a good area to go AFK but it goes quick so if you can keep an eye on them.. afk is ok.
Then it was over near the Blackfeather Roost zone in area at about 40 -41. MQ2Navigation is your friend here.
Plenty of Griffons and harpys there. I planted my team over in the corner out of the way and they wiped the floor with all the mobs there for hours. Shrynn, Blackfeather Raid Leader, are the Mobs to ignore for that area (one wipe to Blackfeather Raid Leader).
I think my pull radius was 1000 there. Kept my team steady pulling.
I set the wizzy to nuke slow and it takes up to a minute or more with each mob but the mana never ends, no need for medding.. just steady pullin.
All toons set up with Defiant gear from the Bazaar or my old loot out of guild bank. I setup one toon as afk bazaar trader and put all the lower level Defiant gear on her.. made 100K in a day or two. Plenty to keep my team in defiant and stat food and drinks.
About this time I took a break and leveled all the spell skills to max with a slightly modified cskillup.mac. Leveled the swimming by doing "/circle on 150" while they were all in the water off the coast of Overthere. Left them for hours till they all maxed swimming.
I moved over to the lvl 45 hotzone of Burning Woods. Set my team up in the middle of a lot of mobs and turned them loose.
It was steady pulling there too. Had a few people come in doing dailies but most never even came close to my team. Made it to 51 there and turned on AASpend. Got a few dozen AA's or more before leaving. (don't forget to get the missions from Teek. Gives added exp and some items)
I moved up to Blackfeather Roost about level 52ish. (I'll repeat.. MQ2Navigation is your good friend here if you AFK)
A little too early as we wiped a few times to those darned "an injured mountain snake". wiped us not once but twice! Just takes too much mana for the shammy healer. A "mobs not to pull" is almost useless in this area as they wander the zone and will attack you anyway. However it's good to have one so your puller doesn't try to pull those quest mobs ))
Fenith,a tame Griffon,Lucian,Adrian,Dorinda,a griffon nest guardian,
Just keep an eye out for wipes..it's gonna happen until you get up about 55ish. Then you can pretty much own the lower level. I had a few people come through but MQ2Posse kept me in line.
Left there around 60ish and headed to Barren Coast.
set up near the zone in and pulled till they hit mid 60s then moved off to the right for higher level mobs. Around this time I brought in a mage that I had leveled a while back. He was 58 at the time.
So now I'm up to a full team of 6.
I was there for a few days.. got toons to lvl 63ish and about 350AA each.
Mobs on my not to pull list - Merchant Woad,
At 63 I tried several zones.. Old Bloodfields was good for some levels and AA but not so great for AFK. Lot of traffic because it's a hotzone. But I was able to AFK a little and watch it close.
Now I'm looking for new zones. One suggestion was TSS so I'll go there and check it out.
I tried The Steppes but wiped too much. Not sure why. My team was mostly doing light blues and dark blues. Once I came back to see them all in the GL and looking in the logs I see a GM and a Guide were in The Steppes. Not sure what happened, maybe SK went on pause while bard had incoming. A wasp Spider or something like that ate the chanter, wizzy, shammy, bard, mage then SK.
