11 is the loneliest number

[GBOB]

Is it just me or does it seem that getting a PUG at level 11 seems a challenge? It seems there are lots and lots of groups 6-10 and 12-15... Just very few elevensies...

you're not the only one. I have a paladin that is just idling at level 11 because of this seeming lack of groups for that particular level. It took me maybe 3 or 4 days to raise it from level 4, and now its a challenge to do anything but slayers with it now. This is of course taking into account my fear of lower level pugs(the horror!) which are really hit or miss. Mostly miss from my experience.

I think part of the issue is there are fewer quests for mid levels to do, yet a bunch of low level ones to pick from. I just wish that we had more options.

rofl its hilarious to see this post because my current TR is having same problem.
im lvl 11 fvs too, which means i need just 1 more level to use my GS weapons and get blade barrier (after which smooth sailing with or without a group)...but just getting the last 2 levels has been the biggest pain ever. i put together a group at level 10 to do shadowknight just walking 3 noobs through it, showing the rog every trapbox spot and telling the 2 arcanes every spot to drop a firewall......took 36mins first run 28min second run on a dungeon i usually have a partner to clear out in no more than 10 (for 24k xp first run).......total agony!!!!!!!
and now at lvl 11 all i can find are the dreaded clueless noobs who join my LFM which explicity says "pros only" or "no noobs plz" and commence to start asking me "what quest is that? where is it? house J? where is house J? necropolis? where is that? .........."
after which i kindly leave grp and form another one.
im about to just leave my lvl 11 there til some guildies who are TRing soon or rolling alts will catch up. or...maybe....there is a light at the end of the tunnel? what times do you play at?

my answer to the eleven mystery:

f2p get thin there, (i know theoretically you can go to 14 or so, but it really gets tough there, f2ps in that range are more often than enough redicolously undergeared, for example, while I love delirium its just a pain to pug, "i dont have silverflame", "I dont have heavy fortification", etc..."

most of the vets jump by that level through shadow crypt. 200k in 2-3 hours. gets your right to 12 or 13. So organize yourself an opener and farm the shador crypt like most others do there.

I am on pretty much every night from 7-10ish Eastern. My main on this server is Andrul, look me up.

Good idea about farming Shadow. I guess it up to us elevensies to break the log jam.

Actually, had a good run last night. Ran a VON flag that went well and a few runs of Whisperdoom. Had fun, even though the xp was light. Will ding 12 for sure tonight, then off to GH or the Desert.

Hit up OOB and Wiz king before GH.

Are you putting up groups together or waiting for PUG's to form and joining them?

I dont typically have a problem putting a group together-but I never wait for a PUG to form either. ;)

Have to agree, I do a lot of GH quests at this level. both slayer and Pre Tor quests and have no problem with peeps wanting to join. If you dont know the quests out there just say so lot of people do and it is more fun if you dont. Good Luck and Have fun..
Its also a good time to work on solo slayers keeps you frosty and builds you twich factor

I have a host of characters between levels 9 and 12.. its very tough to get a group, no doubt.

Just the other day, I flagged my main character for the Shadow Crypt for the purpose of opening it any time for leveling alts. I guess I have no excuse anymore for being stuck at level 11, other than it's hard to get back 'into' that alt again.

Perhaps I'll start up a group this evening or something.

Bah.... I made it through my 11's just fine... even as a FTPer. I hit the wall around 13ish
