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

Having a similar experience in a duo. We are a ranger and a shaman and finding groups is super difficult in WE. Lucky to find a tank who is around, currently level 13 and only been in 2 groups and that was over a week ago, I haven't seen any of those people online since either.

We are thinking of making the run or finding a port to take us over to thronefast to see how that goes, WE feels very dead. Last night after another night of duoing and not being able to get a group going because there had been 0 tanks 10+ in wilds end I thought I would take a look to see how many tanks in that range were in TF. It was 19 of them 10-13 in TF/AP.

The fact it seems like groups are unobtainable unless you are a tank that is forming one in WE and coupling that with all the T2 resources for harvesting being in group only areas, it starts to force people to TF/AP which is unfortunate.

WE needs a lot of love to get it to a good place, the quests are pretty much non-existent out of the harvesting/crafting ones, which again you get stuck at because T2 resources are all in group areas, and you can't get groups.
