Subject: Re: Erudite Wizard Hunting Grounds


Hunting grounds for a low-level Erudite Wizard?

1. Tox Forest (across bridge) hunting Kobolds and Skellies. If you find a
Ranger to help, you can actually level fast, otherwise you'll be camping at
the Kobold camps and fighting for kills, or wandering and hoping to find
something. Unless they changed the spawn rates since I was there several
weeks ago, this can be slow compared to other newbie areas.

2. Kerra Isle. Level 6 is (IMO) about the time you can start venturing here
but need a good group to do well. Usually there is a lack of tanks in this
area of the world which makes this place more difficult than it should be.

3. N. Qeynos then Qeynos Hills - I stayed on Odus for a long time before I
ventured across the ocean to Antonica. When I finally did, my jaw DROPPED
at the site of N. Qeynos newbie area. There were kills as far as you could
see since it is flat and practically treeless. I was so amazed at how much
easier it would have been to level here never having to 'search' for kills
like Tox Forest. Even with the increased population, the ratio of animals
was still MUCH higher than Tox.

4. Erud's Crossing - Once you get over 10, you can start to consider
stopping at the Isle in Erud's Crossing and hunt Wisps and Spiders. This
island can be a little dangerous but you can make a TON of money here
getting Greater Lightstones. This place is definitely Wisp Heaven!! I made
a ton of money here in my low teens and have been way ahead of the money
game ever since. I recommend grouping here like most places. Spiders have
nasty poison so beware picking fights. I can give more strategies on this
place but I'll shut up now ))

Serious Question? Other than Kerra Island, what is the best place for a
Erudite Wizard of the 6th Rank to practice magic?
