yay i finally did it. i hit 200 in prime roots forage (awaits the 'so? i got 250' but i don't care :) i left desert when i was lvl 80 so have had it a bit rough with no terrain spec hehe)

my question is:
where do i go to next?
i mainly dig LA mats but at the moment i can still get those happily in EF and i am not planning to dig crafting mats elsewhere untill i have to. however i am looking for a few nice spots for some easy xp or dp clearance. i have the following tp's fd kami+ kara and sc kami. i managed to last 5 mins in all 3 places when i went exploring.

the varous websites out there are good to an extent but they do not show good routes to run.. whre is safe etc. i'm maxed out on dp at the moment so i'm trying to exploe but it is very slow and is costing a fortune in tp's :(

i'm a lvl 227 nuker 188 heal and 204 mele so can just about handle myself solo in EF when i get agroed so any tips/tricks/hints of where to harvest/run/generally get more xp than dp?

For LA mats I would recommend LoC Karavan and Kami TP's.
Those 2 give you good access to all the mats you need and fairly easy access. SC and FD have a few pretty good spots as well. In whole of wastelands you need to take caution, KP's and roaming Bosses can sneak on you in no time.
When ya see me there next time, I'll show you a few good spots.

I can show you around a little bit in the 250 zones, though youll always have a hard time there need to watch after every corner for a little aggro that needs food urgent...
So lemme know if you need something somewhere ingame

hehe your training is over, welcome to the real pr zones ;-)

edit: sunken city or underspring are generally most popular and easy to get started in. SC north of the tp only has one kp and a big lake to jump in, and the northern half of US is not patrolled and has plenty of aggro free digging spots on the west side.

edit again: get ready to get on close personal terms with Raj and Ryx ;)

lmao. under that scary exterior and 1m long fangs he's a pussycat u know :)

and about the xp/dp ratio, for first few weeks/months i'd strongly advise forgetting about xp, the jump from ef in terms of number of aggro mobs is pretty intense. run around naked, come back to places in different seasons, and slowly the insanity will start to make sense, and u'll find that now and again u can dig for 10mins without being eaten, and then half an hour, and so on :)

not gonna talk about the 4 deaths in 15 minutes i just managed in wastelands, nothing to see here :)

I generally find digging in the 200+ areas is not about getting the mats, more getting to the mats.

some spots are more fun (see: stupid) than others

suppose if you want to be cheap though you could always level on them easy spots next to the TP's

gratz on the 200 btw
