Well, to be fair, I think grinding alone is somehow better than grinding in a party. As I've said so many times before, being in a group and running in circles massacring hill giants seems very, very OOC to me. It's sometimes kind of hard to find any RP going on, especially adventure RP at the low activity hours (20-30 players online). I can sympathize with the wish to at least have somewhere to hit a few mobs alone at those hours.

Actually I spend most of my time RPing...

Hence my zero knowledge on spots to grind/my level range. It's just when no one is online/the FAI and common areas are dead, I like to grind myself some levels.

Do check out the Phase Spiders and Treants on the Western Cloakwood, the area has Haunted Mansion, which you might also take a peek inside if you can handle it. Bit hard to suggest without knowing your exact build. :lol:

Edit: You should also try the Wyverns south of Beregost.

With Wyverns.. bring restoration potions, be immune to poison or have Death Ward spell ready. The latter won't make you immune to poison, but it will neutralize the effect the poison has on you. (you will take the initiate damage, but not the effects)

Looks like the Misty Forest to me. With the massive spawn rate of orcs there, it's quite possible such happens on the server lol.

Even just walking between areas there, you'll kill 20 orcs by the time you find a safe area.

Isaac has been gathering giant hunting parties in the last few days regularly, feel free to pm me and join. We even had a dragon fly down from the mountain and have us for lunch.

What Hoihe said. The first time exploring there it was a mad jumble of smashing orcs, gawking at the amazing scenery, and smashing more orcs.

And Thids, this was more of a question so I can figure out what the hell to do when no one's on. I tend to play at some pretty awkward hours. Though I'll probably take you up on that offer sometime.

being at GMT+8 i end up doing more solo play than RP unfortunately. I actually found the Xvarts to be perfectly fine up until lvl 20 but it all depends on how quickly you can kill them, While they dont give as much XP as the giants if you can kill them in mass the xp racks up rather quickly.
