Age of Conan leveling from 49+

I haven’t been able to play much as of late, but I did manage to hit level 54 yesterday, and I am still enjoying the game immensely.

I am continuing to quest mostly in Cimmeria, with some trips back to Aquilonia and the Noble District in Old Tarantia.

You can read my previous leveling guides part 1, part 2, and part 3 to see how I progressed from 1 to 49.

I spent most of my forties in Fields of the Dead (FotD) finishing up with the quests in the Haunted Forest. There is a long quest chain where you end up collecting medallions and placing them all over FotD. This quest line gives great experience points, and it also gives a nice blue level 50 weapon upon completion. This quest chain start a few tick northwest of the Steambridge resurrection point.

Once I reached level 49 the quests in FotD really slowed down, and I was not strong enough to complete the quests in Toirdealbach's Tomb (northwest corner) so I headed to the next zone. This is a zone called the Eiglophian Mountains. It is a winter clad landscape with tall mountains and great views. I leveled very quickly here doing some of the lower level quests and some of the ’wanted poster’ quests killing cannibals. I still have many quests left in this area, and I suspect I’ll be here until my high fifties. I will also head back to FotD and complete Toirdealbach's Tomb before I reach 60. Note: Today's patch note from Funcom had the following line --> Toirdealbach should now be a more fun and playable encounter.

At level 53 I did make a trip back to the Noble District to complete the arena quests/challenge in the Armsman's Tavern as well as running the Cistern/Main systems instance and related quests (the entrance is right behind Armsman's Tavern). You can start the arena challenge in your forties, but you have to be 54 to complete the last challenge. That challenge gives you an Epic weapon/shield and you also get many nice blue items on the way to the last challenge. The last 2 challenges require a good group with both a healer and tank in their mid to upper fifties.

I did receive an in-game message last night that my leveling guides/narratives are appreciated so I’ll keep on posting these. (The picture is my bear shaman at level 40)
