Hey all just stopping by to get some imput. I have recently hit 67 and got my Epic 1.0 done finaly. I have been realizing that i kinda play some odd hours being early in the morning alot and cant get good exp groups so i was wondering where i good place to level at level 67 would be with or with out a 70 bard box. Thanks

Well... the Hot zone for level 67 is HoH atm.

I would start there. if you wanted some good solo XP, you could always go to PoNightmares and do some charm kiting. You can get up in levels pretty quick there. Anyway, you will be best off sticking with some of the PoP zones for that level.

I guess there are some TSS zones that you can use but you really can't beat the Hot Zone bonus for leveling!

I havnt done much of the soloing aspect what would be a good spell set up for doing somthing like this. I have 9 spell slots to use. If it helps here is a link of my magelo also. Thanks for your time and help with this

Well... since at your level charm is not limited so much by distance, you should do just fine.

As far as a song line-up, I load up 4 dots, charm, mez, selos, snare, chorus.

Get 7-10 mobs to chase you... you only want Proximity agro on them NO DAMAGE. Charm one from the group and send it at the pack. Once the pack kill your pet down to around 10% you want to break your charm. You can do this with any invis item. Personally, I use Boots of the Mosquito with invis to animal (instant click from an inventory slot) There are other items like Goblin Gazughi Ring or Tiny Cloak of Darkest Night. Once the charm is broken, Dot your old pet down and get another. You can kill pretty fast doing this.

Any Zones out there anyone recomends for the Charm Kiting other then Hoh? I tested out the Charm kiting in PoN on the Hob Goblins lastnight it worked well tell i got one of them that summons and cant be charmed by my Call of Banshee spell good thing i had fade.

ACK!!!... not the Hob Goblins!!!

You should be going after the Werewolves. Or, any mob near zone in. NONE of them summon.

Hobgoblins should work fine and will give much better experience per kill than the werewolves (ravenous nightstalkers).  However, you'll need to use a trick to deal with the Scourge Hobgoblins, which summon and can cause a mess.

You'll need the "Song of Highsun" song (around level 55, sold on a vendor in Firiona Vie in one of the buildings on the docks, or from Minstrel Eoweril in PoK library).  When you sing this song at a mob, it will be teleported back to its spawn spot.  Thus, if one of your pulls brings a Scourge Hobgoblin, simply pull the mobs up onto the flat area where you usually would kite, round them up before you charm, and get close enough to Highsun the Scourge Hobgoblin.  Once the Scourge is teleported away, immediately use Fading Memories and then re-aggro the rest of your swarm.  You can now charm a hobgoblin in peace and sic it on the rest. ^_^

Best of luck.  I hope that helps.

(Note that I haven't actually used Highsun since returning to the game a few weeks ago, so I cannot say with 100% certainty that it hasn't been patched in my absence.  However, I don't see why it would have been.)

I think you'll find it much easier to head over to the gargoyle fort and swarm the gargoyles and bats.  It's easy to keep a swarm up without getting summoners.  Be careful if you pull from inside the fort because banshees DO summon.  If I got banshees I'd make sure I had a huge swarm and charm the banshee on the swarm and just let it die.

You can also pull spiders (which are too high to charm) but do good DPS on your pet and will eventually get low enough to finish off.

Much easier than having to deal with the hobgoblins.

for song of highsun on the scourges, I remember them being mezzable, I never bothered messing with high sun. I'd just da, and if you're careful with the path you travel you can aggro everything except the two scourges. When I did get them, I'd just mez them move the swarm a little bit over, fade and bellow the swarm. Same swarm, no scourges. Just stay away from them while they path back. If you use high sun, you probably have to fade anyway.

I agree ... stay away from the hobgoblins... really no need to go after them with so many other mobs around
