Free Everquest 2 Guide: Grouping Locations Levels 20-25

Zones ? Stormhold / The Thundering Steppes / Ruins of Varsoon

Stormhold in Antonica is a fantastic zone thats great for experience, with heroic mobs everywhere and a couple of good quests as well starting near the entrance, the only thing you have to be aware of is the Scions, epic mobs that, well, I donft know how they get spawned but I do remember one popping on my group near the chessboard and wiping us in less than 3 seconds.

The mobs on the upper level range from about level 17 to 20, with higher level mobfs down the stairs. You may notice a glowing sword at the top of the stairs, but donft worry about it for now, you canft pick it up till level 40 ? itfs the starter for the Electrified Bone Bladed Claymore heritage. Once you get downstairs, you will end up in the Atrium, another possible spawn point for a scion so hope that itfs not up, then continue through with your group and youfll find a bunch of 22-25 mobs. However, once you hit about level 23, you should head into the Thundering Steppes and go down past the Bridge Keep to the Ruins of Varsoon [-650,686].

Down here it makes no matter if you are inside or out, therefs heroics mobs that are 25+ in both locations, plus some 25ish solo mobs for you to chew on while waiting for a group if need be. You should probably start outside on the skeletons for a level or two, as inside can get rough occasionally. On the other hand, RoV is where Doomsquall roams, so if you see a massive floating water globule heading your way, run in the opposite direction as fast as you can. If you do decide to head into RoV, donft go past the starting areafs, just kill the spiders near the entrance or the clay stuff nearby, itfs too risky to go any further without a really good group.
