Hi all. I am playing a level 95 axe character, and am currently hunting in the fiun labs. Need suggestions on newer/better places for my level and class. Thanks.

I'd suggest the 90+ Eater Vault, located at 88.5 N 50.4W. Axe is ideal in there, as Eaters are most vulnerable to slashing. Your other good hunting choices (prior to level 100) is the Baishi Matron Hive, which has lots of Otlhoi. Both dungeons have good loot and good XP potential. You'll probably be solo most of the time, though.

I would suggest a completely different approach. Try going outdoors and hunting creatures in the wild. Much of the content of ToD is the countryside and the scenery. Get out and enjoy some of it.
While you can't rake in xp as fast in open country hunting, you can make decent progress if you hunt creatures that challenge your skills. In fact you can take on and defeat larger more powerful creatured in the open (where you can take them on 1 at a time) than you can in a dungeon, where you typically have to be able to deal with groups of them all at once.

If you're reasonabley well equpped, you should be able to take on creatures most anywhere in the dires, though some of the bigger tougher mobs might be a handful. It's not hard to find someone with a portal tie to Ayan Baqur, there's good hunting around there.
You also should be able to hunt carefully on the Obsidian Plains. Tumideon Fortress is a great place to try out the OP. It has a safe portal drop inside for refuge and healing/buffing, and you can hunt big mobs right outside of the entrance portal, leaving you a handy escape hatch if things get too nasty. If you're on Solclaim I have a portal tie to it.

For harder critters that are more widely spaced, try hunting on the plains west of Eastwatch. The Viamontian Hands are quite exciting :eek: The portal is just a bit outside of Sanamar on the road south.

If you want more of a dungeon-like experience, try the withered Lugians. The area isn't as crowded now as it once was, you can often have the beach mostly to yourself or share it with just a few people. Many people have a portal tie to there, just ask around in your clan or in MP or Holt.
Lastly, I see on a list of new ToD dungeons a 90+ "Penguin Cave Hatchery". I have never been to it, but penguins are new and fun to hunt in AC. They are a challenge as they throw wars and vulns at ya. It's out on the plains of ruin, getting there could be an interesting hunt all by itself.

Thank you both for the replies, I'll probably check out all of the places listed this weekend when I have time.
