Almar's Guides: Almar's Everquest Leveling Guide

This section contains leveling guides for Everquest. I've seperated each guide into a different section, depending on what type of path you'd like to take while leveling up. There isn't any "Right" path, but I recommend Path 1 to anyone who wants to level quickly, and Path 4, of course if you want to make some extra cash. I've also included the Mines of Glooming Depp (As seen below) and started to work on Newbie zones.

Everquest AA Leveling Guide

This section is dedicated to giving you a list of the best places possible for you to grind out AA XP at any level range. Instead of giving you a path to follow like I normally do this guide will provide you with specific individual locations. At any time during the level range listed and AA prerequisite requirements you will be able to go to this zone. An example of the format I will use to show you these zones can be seen below.

Plane of Fire: C1 (70 - 78) (This will be clickable and will take you to the page for that location, Also tells you level range.)
AA Prerequisite: 100 (This will tell you how many well placed AA's you should have before coming here.)
Damage Dealt: 200 - 550 (This will tell you about how much the mobs hit for.)
AAs Per Hour: 7 (This will tell you about how many AAs you should expect every hour from this location.)
PP Per Hour: 2,000+ (This will tell you about how much plat you will make every hour here.)
Mercenary Requirement: Yes/No (This will tell you if you need a Mercenary to hunt here or not.)
Classes: All (This will tell you what classes can hunt here.)
Other: Don't summon, low resists, are Headshotable, few nammed spawns (Other important information about the camp.)

To prevent any confusion about the AA Prerequisite section, the "Important" AAs that I am talking about refer to the defensive AAs. These include Combat Agility, Combat Stability, Natural Durability, Physical Enhancement and so on and so forth. All of these are very important for you to get and should be acquired very early on. Of course if you're a caster you'll want to make sure you are able to take a beating or have the best pet available to you at the time. No one will know your limits better than you, so keep that in mind.
