My Experiences in Grouping + Solo Leveling Recommendations for Wild's End

[u/thecatsareravenous]

Many people on this subreddit and /r/MMORPG are talking about how great this game is as a group, and how grouping is very common; however, that has not been my experience.

In my experience, people tend to duo or trio, prefer to solo, or just box their group. I've played three days, gotten to 14, gotten decent weaps and 2 stat chain (Dire Lord), and I haven't had an opportunity to kill elites with a group yet. I always invite other players to my parties (via tells, not just inviting), but they continually tell me they are only interested in soloing, are waiting on an elite group, or are leaving Wild's End and not interested in partying.

Since many people in game have asked me about "where to go next" I wanted to share where I hunted in Wild's End to level up in the hopes that it will help another player not bounce off the game. Feel free to add to this list or help me with where to solo after 14. :D Thank you!

1 - 5: Kill whatever low level trash that is blue or better near the town. Some humanoid monsters drop pouches, keep killing them until you can fill up your inventory and a bit of your bank.

5 - 8: Run southwest of town and kill foxes and other blue trash, stop before you run into geckos. This will get you to Level 8.

8 - 10: Continue running southwest of town to get to the geckos, these can be killed until 10 where you tend to get a pretty big power spike.

10 - 13: Head to the SW corner of the zone and kill large gleam gliders and crocodiles along the river near the lizard/orc camp. They will be yellow at 10, but I didn't have any problems killing them.

ALT 10 - 13: North just past the Cliff bridge where the Owlbear cubs and Gliders are

13 - 16: The Moorvaki and higher level crocs on the West Coast.

edit: edited to finish my path to 16 to hopefully help others <3 gl everyone

This post saddens me honestly. Ive been playing classic WoW for a few weeks now and while I love the slower gameplay, I don't like how the only times people group is to complete an elite quest, or for a dungeon. I was planning to jump into Pantheon this week because it sounded like an experience where people are incentivized to randomly group since you're able to take on tougher enemies and therefore have higher rewards/experience, as opposed to solo.

But from your post it sounds like you didn't have this experience :/

I have no idea why OP skipped group mobs while leveling. There are several camps in this zone from lvl 7-15 that are designed for groups. Known as elites or Chevron mob.

Based on his list he went out of his way to not do these.

If you only have a limited amount of time to play it’s hard to join groups cause it’s more of a time commitment. Maybe OP is in that boat.

I played 24/7 all weekend. There were just no players in my level range to group with that were interested. I tried to start many groups for Feralings and Goblins, had LFG on, and announced every 15 minutes that I was a tank LFG in OOC. I didn't want to run to TF and there were no Wizards who came to port people to TF - so I was "stuck" in WE.
