So, I'm brand new to CF, only been playing a few days. Have three characters in the 18-22 range, and I'm stuck. Basically I end up sitting around until someone finally invites me to a group and I learn a new tier of hunting areas. As you can imagine, this goes rather slow.

Is there a levelling guide somewhere? I know I can "area" a level range, but that doesn't help me at all, really. I respect the IC nature and don't ask questions OOC'ly, so I guess I've come here looking for help.

First, welecome to CF. We're glad to have you.

When you use the area command and have a list of various areas, almost all of these areas will have help files. Most of the help files will give you a general idea of where the area is located and a brief description of the area. This may be able to help you determine which areas to go to. In between groups, you can take this time to explore some common areas and get to know the layout.

Also even if you don't know where to go, you can always ask others to group. By using the 'who group' command you can see all the persons your character is able to see that you can group with. If they ask where you are wanting to go to learn, just tell them it's their choice. Being proactive about your leveling, could get things moving a little faster for you. Good luck.

HOw long have I been playing this game, and never knew about who group???

always did who pk, bleh.

Not a issue if it was just to answer a question, but if we're going to anchor...
Please edit Crafted's post to attribute the list entierly to Isildur.

EDIT: It rubs me the wrong way in general that isildur isnt atributed on the diku page regardless, hes done 99% of that work over the years. Now a sticky without credit would just be mean
Man did I ever appricate his constantly updated ranking guides back since 2002.

I don't know where the list came from, but if Isildur is the one who compiled it, I don't mind giving credit where credit is due.

Isildur, post or email and let me know if the work is yours.

It looks like the same one I used to update on Dio's event board. That one's actually still there; I just haven't updated it since 2005.
