Best Place to LvL
- Thread starter Tron_40
- Start date
Depends somewhat on char. Former(15-20)...sewers (not pubby)...then arcane...20-25...either flayer or tombs depending on build. Look at Darkness link for monster levels, find ones about your own or just below, go into large game and level by yourself in an area no one else is in (or preferably can go in).

. Great to level if you know who you are gaming with but easy to be killed otherwise.

These areas are definetly the ones, but also most anywhere in Act 2 will work. The key is finding the place where your build kills thes best. Some wont be able to handle loads of beetles while others may not do well wiht loads of skelletons.
If you do this in big full games you can actually very effectively get to lvl 20 doing Andy runs. YOu should be able to kill very fast which is the key to this type of run as per monster the exp is better in Act 2 but since you can probably kill 2-4 monsters in Cats faster than 1-2 somewhere in Act 2 it works out well. Also, Act 2 Mercs just destroy things in Act 1 so this is another bonus. This and if you are an untwinked player here, Andy has a habit of dropping some sickly baluable items like Bloodfists or Hand of Broc, Hsarus stuff and more as well as you can collect a lot of gems to sock in shields and weapons and armors.
I suggest you just try all areas from Cats thru Act 2, if the barb isnt moving noticably each 2-5 monsters you may need to move to a more difficult area if you can kill there.

did they change the level req for the ancients quest? or is there another reason for everyone doing it at 26

well, you have to be 20 for it. But the reason people do it at 25 and getto 26 with it, is that baal doesnt give much exp at all until level 26, and 25-26 is the slowest going level before baals, so people just use the ancients quest for it to buzz past it. You can also do it at level 20, but then you skip the lvl 20-21 level, which would be faster than the 25-26.

actually, doing ancs at lvl 24 works too. 25 is the lowest level to get any exp at baal runs
someone said it already, but doing countess in full games gives amazing exp. of course, you actually have to be twinked to actually do em safely. give or take 3 lvls per run at lvls 9-14 (but i highly recommend not doing em before 12, for safety reasons, even for twinked chars)
or actually, just walking through a1 in full games is good exp. i did that once and got to 18 after i finished andy (note: heavy heavy twinking required)
