The new year has brought another entry in the “Where to level up?” series. This time, the focus was placed on the Pacc Area. As part of a short, seven-day access, several hunting spots were tested - mainly well-known or uncomplicated routes that allow for quick data collection without lengthy preparation.

Each location was tested on several characters across three runs, and the average exp/h was calculated based on the results. Using this data, a projection of leveling speed all the way up to level 200 was prepared.

Wolfs
The most popular and classic hunting spot. The route is not demanding - most of the time is spent on the surface or on staircases, which means that a rope and shovel are only occasionally needed.

Wolves turn out to be a very convenient target - at higher levels they die in a single hit, and at lower levels they pose little threat. In the old Tag Team Challenge contest, whose goal was to reach level 10 as fast as possible, some teams found their optimal route right here.

Additionally, descending to the Skeletons ensures continuity of experience gain once the Wolves have been cleared, making this route flexible for both lower - and higher-level players. Snakes + Spiders
For a long time, snakes were considered underrated mobs, mainly due to their small numbers on Rookgaard. In the Pacc Area, however, their distribution becomes much more favorable for leveling.

The route also includes Spiders, which are suitable at any level, but work especially well at lower ones. The combination of the snake cave, wolf hill, and spider respawn ensures a constant flow of monsters and a stable experience rate. Trolls
The classic troll cave is not among the most efficient spots in terms of experience, but it remains an important part of the Pacc Area. Its main advantage is the ability to collect spears, which are useful for training Distance Fighting skills. Goblin Hell
Goblins are a hunting spot that fully reveals its potential only at higher levels. At lower levels, it does not look particularly impressive, but as the character level increases, the efficiency of this route grows significantly.

It was no coincidence that this was the favorite location of one of the biggest botters on Rookgaard - the exp/h results confirm that in the long run, this place becomes one of the best options. Summary

The Pacc Area remains less known than the free Rookgaard zone, but it hides many opportunities. For low-level characters, it can be challenging — especially when attempting to descend into the lowest underground levels, where Minotaurs and Orcs stand before the entrance to Goblin Hell, including Orc Spearmen, which pose a serious threat. On the other hand, there are places where beginners should feel comfortable, such as Spider caves, Snake grottos, or Wolf respawns.

The tests show that:
• the best place for leveling up to around level 165 remains the Wolves,
• above this level, Goblin Hell clearly begins to dominate.

Ultimately, everything depends on the chosen route - higher-level players will certainly be able to adapt their methods to achieve even better exp/h results than those presented in the tests.

One disappointment was the Snake route, which I had particularly high hopes for. Despite the forecasts, it failed to significantly improve leveling speed compared to Wolves - even at lower levels. However, the results show that the potential was there, as in the initial phase the Snake curve almost overlapped with the Wolf one.
