Aye, I remember bringing up several toons in Gianthold, it's a nice change of pace I think to be out in the Desert instead, and saving Gianthold and the Orchard until later. If you can do Gianthold from levels 12-15 or so, you can use the Vale for levels 14-17, then Amrath, Reaver's Refuge, and Inspired Quarter for 17-20. You can run Necro IV concurrently with GH and Vale as well if the Abbot is important to you.

The changes they made to how we get XP, combined with the level cap increase, kinda made people restructure their leveling habits a bit. It's now better to farm quests like Wizard King and VoNs to get through the 8-12 hump, that's how I did it on my FvS recently and the levels just flew by.
