I also like the Ruins of Varsoon in Thundering Steppes. There's a couple heritage quests that tie those two zones together (Hadden's Earring comes to mind). Afterwards, there's Enchanted Lands and Zek. I really like Zek, I find it's got a nice theme to it, but I know of many people who don't like it. In Enchanted lands, if you've got a decent group you could head a little way into Runnyeye Citadel. As mentioned by a few others, definitely hit up Nektropos Castle, it’s a fun zone.

That is one of my favorite zones in the game. It can get a little laggy at points, but it's a lot of fun. Good loot also. The Dragoon K'naae of the Thexians (spl) HQ starts there also from the NPC Dragoon K'Naae. You have to be 24 I think to start it.

It is a cohesive story-line and the final 3 battles are arena style in an instance, which are very cool. I would also reccomend the instance "Necromancer's Lair" for a solo/small group experience. It is located near the dark elf HQ dragoon. The 19 part solo quest line starting with Bruhn K’Viir, Torq De’Rech, Jaeta H’arn, and finally with Szin Te’val is my favourite quest line in Nek.

There are 'Dusk Shrillers' everywhere, but no Firelights. The Firelights are up on one of the mountains just to the north and east of the entrance to Nektulos. Watch out for the giants, but they should be pretty easy to kill; we spent most of our time in Nek looking for those stupid things. :) Tony: When you get there, there’s going to be a quest to get the ‘Firelight Shrillers’, and it’s going to drive you nuts.

I'm still working on level 15 quests in the Commonlands. What makes it worse is that I have a bit of a obssesive need to complete all the quests. That gets to be a pain. Otherwise, we're just getting ready to finish up the Fallen Gate and then head to Nektulos. I've been there by myself, but I'm looking forward to actually <em>doing something</em> there. I'll have to keep in mind what quests to take on after reading this post.

Unfortunately, we're restricted to zones that were in the game at launch. Despite ideas of standardizing on Faydwer, the rest of the party hasn't gotten around to it. I've got all three expansions, but my wife only has DoF and the other two gents are rocking original boxes. Which is a shame, because (like a lot of EQ players) I really really liked Crushbone. :) Thanks for the comments, folks, keep em’ coming.
