Castle Mistmoore Leveling Guide
***Notice*** Everyone reading this guide in 2018 or later should note that this guide was written in 2009 or so when Underfoot was the current expansion pack. As you can imagine a lot has changed in the game since that time and some of what you read in this guide may be inaccurate or misleading. This page *does* still have some useful info which is why my newer leveling guides link here - but you should understand that most of the information here is outdated, I've taken what's correct and incorporated it into my newer leveling guides.
If you're here from one of my older links then head over to my new Everquest Leveling Guides Index page as you'll find guides for each expansion for you to choose from. I strongly urge you to use these newer leveling guides instead.
Inside Castle Mistmoore you'll find fairly difficult mobs for your level, but they will almost always be dropping at least 4gold or 1 plat per kill. Stay near the entrance until you level up till about 25, then start to move in deeper. Also stay away from the Gargoyle's until at least level 23.

Once you reach level 25 you'll be able to start working your way towards the Graveyard and Castle. From where you enter the zone head northwest until you find the Graveyard. Hang out at the Graveyard until level 29 or so, then continue moving towards the castle.

Getting a little closer to the castle you'll have to watch out for the mass quantity of adds that you can and most likely will get. The mobs around here have a HUGE agro radius which will make it hard for you to get them one on one. Your merc can handle 5 or more at a time, with the downside being is he may also run since you have so many on you. I usually work my way towards the castle and make sure I hang outside until 31.
Once you reach level 31 you'll be safe to move into the castle. You will still have to watch out around corners and make sure you don't pull too many and cause your merc to run away in terror. Also don't go to far into the castle, stay near the entrance and clear the mobs outside when they re-pop.

When you're in the castle it is very important that you don't kamikaze around and you always let your merc do the work. Try to snare the mobs, so that they don't run. If they do happen to run ONLY LET YOUR MERC FOLLOW THEM. His presence will not draw any additional agro, where as yours, will. In addition to the above mentioned reason, if your merc dies after he kills the mob that ran, you will no longer be in combat. This means in 5minutes you can rez him.

Once you reach level 35 its finally time to call it quits in Castle Mistmoore. Head out of here and on over to City of Mist. To get to City of Mist from Plane of Knowledge take the Cabilis Stone. You'll end up in Field of Bone, follow my map below to get to The Emerald Jungle.
Once you're in the Emerald Jungle you need to head far northeast to get to City of Mist. Watch out for the big fall, I'd recommend using levitate if you got it, if not take it slow. Follow my blue line to get to City of Mist. If you got Invis use it, you'll be able to dodge some mobs on the way there.
