    Crush Keeper was the fastest leveling I've seen.

    Balefort Sewers isn't very quick unless you have a set group running it.

    Next time you attack a monster, stop and look at the name/healthbar of said monster. Look to the left of it, you will notice a colored circle. As long as the color is red, it gives you the maximum exp given by any monster (except boss). With that said, considering your level, ao3 and bS monsters will give you the same exp.

    Why not play the game like it was meant to be? I'm not going to list all the reasons why I'm against power leveling since I've done it numerous times in other threads on the same topic. I'm glad it's gone and hope it never ever ever ever ever comes back!

    Level 43 is allowed in Crush the Keeper. There are many people still power leveling in there.

    Ayrilana, they brought an end to leeching, not to power leveling. A player can always find some map with a red threat level, and buy leveling elixirs for plat. They just can't leech anymore.

    Right. 38-42 interested in power leveling should do AO2: Plasma Pyramid. 43-47 should do AO3: Crush the Keeper. At 48+, as long as you can hold your own, you can probably do the Sewers, though you may want to stick with CtK until 50 so you can equip better gear for survival, even if the XP rate is a little slower.

    I suppose it's probably a good idea to come up with a comprehensive list of ideal leveling areas for power levelers, just to avoid having to go over this topic repeatedly.

    48+ Balefort Sewers: Bandit Boy Hideout?
    43-47 Alien Oasis 3: Crush the Keeper
    38-42 Alien Oasis 2: Plasma Pyramid
    33-37 Alien Oasis 1: ???
    28-32 Ancient Swamps: Mardi Growl? Bayou Boss Brawl?
    23-27 Lost Expedition: ???
    18-22 Fathom Crypt: Mega Maze Mashup
    13-17 Balefort Castle: ???
    8-12 Dark Forest: ???
    1-7 Forest Haven: Meathead's Deli?

    I don't agree with the choice of maps, Duke, but you're right. We should target the finest XP farming areas for each level. I'd say it is based on 1.) greatest number of kills in the shortest time and 2.) most mobs without facing any bosses. A lot of time that works out to be the same. For instance, Balefort Castle III has a lot of mobs and the rooms even have mobs with no bosses, until you get to the last room where there is a ranged boss.

    It's a lot easier to get feedback when you put up a strawman. As you may note, there are a lot of question marks in that list.

    As for your guidelines, I'd say you're on the money. The drawback is that the maps with densely-packed mobs often have minibosses along the way, so they can run loggerheads at each other. I'd add the stipulation that this should be for main-path dungeons only. Alternate suggestions can be provided for those with the extra campaigns, but we should try to have a "core only" set.

    The one's I'm fairly sure on, however, I think I can justify:

    AO3: CtK - the definitive "power level" map. A high number of mobs, including the shadows which aren't counted in the "remaining" total, and minibosses are for the most part skippable.

    AO2: PP - more bosses, but all in dead-end rooms, so they can be skipped. The djinns can slow you down, but I suppose you can just drag them past their tether if you're going for speed.

    FC: MMM - Only one boss you have to get through, lots of mobs, easy for a good group to steamroll through.

    FH: MD - All bosses are in dead-end rooms, and the hallway has a good density of trash mobs. I'd say it's better than Skeleton Cult Crypts because you don't have trolls to deal with. Regular levels are too spread out and unpopulated.

    As for Balefort Castle, I like your suggestion of map 3, except that it is a bit spread out. Not sure if it's the best mob/time ratio. Still don't know offhand what would be better, though.

    Yep. Except a lot of people don't fight. They just walk behind a higher level player and leech xp while the higher level player kills everything.

    I reckon if someone knows the password, level requirements dont apply. Stops leeching and makes it easier for people trying to level up their low level mules.

    Nonsense. It's still quite possible to power level, you just have to do it in lower-level dungeons. As long as you're in the highest-level campaign for which your character qualifies, you'll be gaining maximum XP per kill -- you don't have to play 20-30 above your level to get the maximum XP rate.

    All the change does is prevent characters from being in areas way above their capabilities.
