Do you need keys to do instanced VP?

Yes.

Ya, after doing it on Ragefire & Phinny I think Chardok is the optimal route. But you have to get ahead of the curve and get down to the kennel camp asap imo. There just aren't enough Golems in seb, so you end up having to pull low level trash when they are all dead, so seb isn't quite as good if you ask me.

I have never done it, but there was a group on Phinny leveling in the Hole up to level 54. I believe they were doing the ghost camp, and they got to 53 quite quickly, but started to fall off fast after that point. Starting there might work out well until 53, then move into Chardok.

If you have a box you can work on your key while you level. I ran my wizard around and had the entirety of my VP key done by the time I hit 60, with the only exception being the KC piece, which I then went and camped after hitting 60.

I hate going 50-60 in Kunark. Imo, it's the worst grind in the game. I think Thott even wrote a essay on how little content there was to level up on back in the day. Hopefully though I'll just get in with another static and bang it out over the first weekend.

Also they've greatly reduced the hassle of it by reducing spawn times, by a lot and making rare spawns far less rare, and made ground spawns no destroy and spawn faster also.

They've done this post kunark on phini? It was pretty damn annoying/contested when I was doing it there, remember people (myself included) having to charm gate AJ, 10+ people sitting on ground spawns at any given time, and long lines/and or fights over things like rotting and pained.

Not that it's not doable or easier than it would have been back in the day, but back in the day you had 1 guild on each server MAYBE two that needed this versus 20? that will be wanting to do VP on Agnarr.

I don't remember the exact timing, might have been late kunark or sometime later, but it's significantly easier now. I mean you could still easily end up with a shitshow at a Pained Soul or whatever, but it's not the nonsense it was at release on Phinigel.

Early 50s there are plenty of options, with hs probably fastest and I'd say shrooms 2nd. Karnors works, hole works, juggs is consistently always ok, and seb frogs are decent for a while.

HS without a named pet loses a lot of its former top status as mobs there will become lblue and you no longer have the absurd dps to compensate, but it will still probably be fine.

Once you hit late 50s, chardok is really THE place to get nonstop pulls of good level mobs. Charmed pets here are also better than elsewhere. Kennels is probably best as it has a whole building of lower hp dudes. After that the good spots in order are probably up by bridge/koru pulling gy (if you dont have gy and have to pull top floor trash this is no longer 2nd best). After that there is a 4way spot east of herb house that is safe, you want to grab herb house (arguably best xp mobs in there but only a handful of em) and there is good xp on the ne loop (niblek etc) with skeletons. Alternately you can go west of herb and pull shit like iksar hide cape, thats about as good unless kennels is on steroids. Finally, the library near royals with the double named ph is a very solid spot.

I need a mage pet to attack

If your around in the morning you can use my pet before I leave for the day

Grand thanks!

At least you got 2h out of the way, haste makes 1h skilling less painful.

Got lvl 24 on my SK, memorized FD, peaced out on my group in Unrest after getting a rep, running to BB to give a friend some gear, and I get attacked by 6 blues. Try to Feign Death, insufficient mana. Die.

Welcome to lvl 23.

Classic, indeed.
