500 by 50

The 500qb by level 50 leveling guide

Character creation recommendations:

Easiest = Bow, two hand, Mage Bow allows you to upgrade damage as you level bow and fletch and has high damage early Cleave really helps clear dungeons early on without sacrificing defense or stats Mage increases damage as you get more spell levels - but can get expensive and you spend a lot of time selling to get trade notes for spells

this guide was tested with a finesse lugian (the worst possible player) - 10 100 100 100 10 10 trained meleed finesse missile item life and I picked up lockpick then fletching Lockpick is essential for this guide to get all the QB you really dont want to have to go all the way back later and redo a lvl 1 dungeon because you couldnt be bothered to start with LP Arwic has all the gems to raise and lower for 1pyreal each so you can always spec as you grow

two very different paths now

If you haven't already done this you will want to get your item spells for recall, tie, LS tie, LS Recall, etc. these are critical now

Path 1: level to 100 then start questing again depending on your weapons this will be easy through tusker barracks and the matron hives or you'll need to do the first part of the next section

Path 2:continue questing (finish anything you skipped above) and gaining tons of QB and level pretty quickly while doing so leaving yourself with a permanent bonus to xp and lum foreverP

Congratulation on choosing Path 2 (the smart choice)
