    It's really not so much about the adventure level as it is what skills you have trained and how well you use them.

    Solo mages room at lvl 87? no worth the time you need to kill them, imo.

    Depends on your build (ranged/mage/melee) but if you already bored of DRW, try these ones; Wyrmsands (elite skeletons), Ulfheim (human mobs) and Grannus Colossus.

    I would add Crag Foothills as step up from DRW. The area around the tent with chest has lots of Elves. Some undead just past them on fork to left. Exit close by for when you pull the whole camp, elf patrols around there as well. Pretty much non-stop with the occasional rush to the chest.

    I currently spend a lot of time in Deep Ravenswood and Crag Foothills.

    That wasn't me. I can handle a couple mages or archers at a time there but no more than that. They also take too long to kill, so the experience return isn't that great.

    If u were me id do this,

    1. Cragfoot hills are good (be fast do the inner circle over and over).

    2. Id get a +5 adventure level buff and do the rise (skip the mage room). At avl 91 things turn yellow meaning ull hit better.

    There will be a learning curve to the rise, go with someone who can show u the pulls.

    I thought this was changed to use the higher of your adventurer level or your base combat skill (as far as being able to hit mobs is concerned)?

    When I made my trip threw being 91 was very benificial, if its no longer the case then lucky you.

    Try it both ways and see if there is a diffrence.

    I hang out with a archer named Bekido Storm he is about ur level and he rocks the rise. Feel free to toss him a msg if u need advice.

    Not just talking miss, but the damage hits.

    I think ull find hitting them yellow ull land bigger hits than if they are orange.

    But like I said earlier its been a while since they were orange to me (R36) u might find it was changed.

    Monkey room in k'rul, it's the only place left in the game to get good exp. It's doable as an archer at your level. If you can't handle the way there, die and rez at the entrance of the room.

    That's what I love about shroud, it's extremely based on player skill and aptitude. More than any other MMO I've had the pleasure to play.

    I suggest one thing.

    Don't measure your success in xp/hour. Measure it in fun/hour. Way more satisfying!

    All I will say is the high level zones aren't necessarily the best XP per hour. :)

    UO did it better by limiting skill gain into "tiers". :rolleyes:

    How does one get to K'rull? I can get to Caverns of Skrekk thru that one zone north of the Battle Camp...not sure where to go once I get into the Caverns.
    What is best way to get to The Rise?
