Subject: [EQ-Monks] Ok, Here's another, then.

I've been playing my monk since the first week the game was released. My played time is now about 4 day, 6 hours. Is this about right for a lvl 11 guy? What are your played times for your lvl 32 monk? I'm just interested in knowning if I'm behind the curve here. I just dont have the patience to get to lvl 17! It is frustrating. Right now I'm in Befallen, as a lvl 11. Is there a more appropriate place that I should go perhaps? Right now I'm not worried about RPing too much, because I die way too much, so I guess that means I just want to lvl ASAP. Where's a good place to get EXP at my level? Grouping tips/anything would be appreciated.

I got a little discouraged around that level as well. So, in hopes of finding grand adventure I went travaling. The end result was steamfont mountains. I had a great time there for about 3 levels. The exp. is amazing there for a 10-14 character. Minos, drakes, harpys, elementals, and those big robot-like spiders. Not to mention the skeletons on steriods. They'll give you a run for your money at level 12 even. Just keep an eye out for the hero, he's a cranky sort of fellow. I hope this helps a little.
