Now that I am nearing level 40, I find myself wondering what new lands I will find myself having access to...especially to party in. Now, I see in my LS that the higher levels are still in CN and Garlaidge and Altepa.
Is partying limited to Valkrum, Quifim, Kahzam, Garliage and Crawlers Nest? Is this all there is? Are there wide open zones that sit empty except for soloing in?

I hope some folks can let me in on some secret spots where lost parties are leveling.

>Are there wide open zones that sit empty except for soloing in?

Yup.

[Blood Red Poet]

There is a lot of exp zones. First off, go to a site that has a listing of expable areas(there is a couple). Second, wait for people are exping in CoP zones. Like Attowha Chasm, 29-31, to my knowledge no one has done that before I made a party there(killing Hecteyes).

there are tons of places to go lvl from 1-75 you can even let qufim and kazham pass bye

Sauromouge champaign for lvl 18-21 example
lvl 40 you can go gustav tunnel, even earlier
lvl 50 quicksand caves if you like (but again thats in Altepa) or Garlaige
after that boyahda tree or kuftal is a nice option
there is the possibility to go lvl in (sky) when have a certain lvl and hole pt have (sky) access. You can actually go pt at lvl 30 in Lufiase and miserau coast. I did even have a pt in Ifrits caulderion
actually you can pt where you want, if you find mobs at your lvl there. But most people tend to go to places where everyone else is -_-. But then again sometimes I can convince the pt to go to a place where actually noone is exping ending in the result haveing a great pt, noone bothering us and makeing huge exp. but yeah people lack in inspiration, thats why they go seek in CN and in Kazham, in Qufim and so on....

truth is lvling is restricted to some of the more basic areas. an everone now has a set lvling path no matter what.

1-10 find most if not all lvling in or around there home nation.

11-20 most now if not all flock to the dunes in search of parties. yet still so few know thart from 15-20 korroka tunnel is the fastes lvling spot.

20-24 you will catch everyone in quifim.

24-32 some part of the jungles after kazham.

32-40 finds you basically going back an forth from the citidel, or crawlers nest.

40-43 will find most in either crawlers nest, or gustav tunnel.

43-50 finds most people heading to either quicksand caves, east, or west. crawlers nest, or garlaige citidel.

50-52 most stick with the lower exp, but faster exp in garliage cit,

50-55 all others become brave an head to kuftal tunnel.

53-57 can find you in boyada tree,

56-61 can find you further in gustav tunnel, cape terrigan. or valley of sorrows.

these are pretty much the most populart places most if not all will go to. the reasons are very simple. most know the way, most fought there before. most likely its the same mob, so everyone is familiar with what spells, an what renekis

This doesn't include Promathia areas.. But it should give you a good idea of things.

I really hate how everyone wants to go to the same places over and over again..
We have a ton of zones, and a majority of them aren't used for EXPing..
Not because they can't be used for EXPing, or because they aren't good..
But because everyone wants to flock to the "popular" zones.. ugh.

Anyways, Good luck. It's always more fun to spice things up with different places. ^_^

I think you already have your answer, but yes, there are many other zones that you could EXP in. The problem is that most people aren't brave enough to try out new EXP spots and also not willing to try new spots because they do not know if it will be worth their time to even go there. The reason being, unless you are in a static, most people already have spent time seeking PT and really do not want to venture to an unknown EXP spot and take a gamble on maybe getting good exp or maybe getting horrible exp and/or deaths when they could much easier go to a well known location that will almost certainly yield decent to good exp. Another reason is that from a tactic standpoint it is much easier to go to the popular EXP spots because you already know how to defeat the enemies there (i.e. killing crabs, crawlers, and beetles over and over etc.) so less time and effort is involved in developing a winning strategy for a new foe. Even if you do not have the CoP zones there are many other options out there for EXP (at many levels). You just have to be willing to try something different. Personally, my new favorite spot for EXP for Lv.73+ is Ulegerand Range (sp?), though most people don't like to go there because of the dangerous trek up the mountain.

Thanks folks - great information - guess I will go out and explore some areas and see if some people in LS will want to try them out.

Which is usually what makes exping so damn boring and monotonous unless you have a great party.

Agreed.
The same constant mobs, the same constant strategy..
Pah.. That's just mindless dull grinding, who wants that?
I'll take my exploration and uniquely thought out tactics over that any day..

No use being afraid of the unknown, we "are" adventurers, after all.
And any stable party setup should be able to handle themselves and make decent EXP. "Decent at least."

[little ninja]

naaa i say stick to the same old exp spots. give us bsts more free, an open areas to lvl...

[Elsurion]

Also let me have more areas only for myself :p

So no competion for the money-mob

[little ninja]

ELSUR brings up a good point. how can you level in an area that higher lvls farm in. i been playing bst for 4 days now. an this is a headache for me. i watch some lvl 60 guy train every mob i can lvl off of, an mass kills them all. the canyon, dunes, an so on. i see lvl 25 soloing a goblin that cons d/c to me at 18. i see a lvl 51 pld training about 25 goblins.

i dont blame people who want to stick to the same locations. it really does take away from all the bull crap like this.

[Elsurion]

the well known farming areas and Mob are

Lathe, Konstat: Ram
Dunes: Goblins, Elementals, Flys for the Emperor
Bubu: Goblins, Crawler, Elemntals
Forest/Bata Down: Tiger, Tree, Orcs, Goblins, Elementals
Marshland/Rolanberry: Gobbue, Crawler, Quadavs, Goblins, Bee, Elementals
Mountains/Campain: Cockratrice, Coerl, Raptor, Yagudo, Goblin, Elementals
Zi'Tah: Gobbue, Goblin
Korroloka: Slime, Gigas
Beastmen Outposts/Citys: Beastmens, Slime
Tower: 1 ~ 10 Gigas, Goblins, Doll, Pots, Elementals

The way for a bst is not ver fun in the lower levels -.-
I did the following route -> E-Ron, Lathe, Ordelles, Dunes, Bubu, Korolloka, Dunes, Qufim.

Also i prefere Areas where i'm fully alone or at max with about 5 others in the area.
