The Golden Path

"The Golden Path" is the name of a suggested path of progression from SOE that helps players follow an efficient and more natural path as they level up. The goal of the developers was to focus their attention on certain zones to make them a "top-notch" experience. There is no official quest series involved with The Golden Path, the closest thing being a Hallmark series called The Legend of Roger Goldie which moves the player from Butcherblock Mountains through Kylong Plains.

Some of the level ranges reflected below overlap due to the wide range of quests available in many of the zones.

Level Range Zone Quest Series Tiers
1 - 20 Darklight Wood, Frostfang Sea, Greater Faydark or Timorous Deep T1 - T2
21 - 33 Butcherblock Mountains T3
34 - 47 Steamfont Mountains T4 - T5
41 - 55 Everfrost, Lavastorm and Sinking Sands T5 - T6
55 - 70 Tenebrous Tangle, Barren Sky and Bonemire T7
68 - 80 Kylong Plains, Fens of Nathsar, Kunzar Jungle and Jarsath Wastes T8
77 - 85 Moors of Ykesha, Sundered Frontier T8 - T9
86 - 90 Stonebrunt Highlands, Great Divide, Eastern Wastes T9

General Progression

The following table maps the "natural" progression from each home city. You can go to any zone at any time (barring a few alignment restrictions), and can jump back and forth easily to any quest series in the appropriate tier for your level.

Depending upon your class, it is possible to begin some quest series before the noted level. Some classes simply fight higher mobs easier.
