EQ Classic Leveling Guide

Everquest Classic: Leveling Guide

This section is for my Everquest Progression Server Leveling Guide. For each expansion I will update my Leveling Guides to reflect the changes that each expansion brings. This guide will most likely always cover the newest expansion and the zones that come with it as that is where most of the people will be grouping. As I update this page and my leveling guide I will archive the old expansions' leveling guide. This will make it easy for you to find a leveling guide for whatever expansion you are currently in.
