Runes of Magic US / AU

You will need to follow the quest lines in each zone, it will naturally progress you to new areas as you follow the stories the complete quests in each area. It is a very good idea to try and finish every quest in each zone as the xp and tp is important for levelling your character.

Normal progression would be
Howling Mountains > Silverspring > Aslan Valley > Ystra Highlands > Dust Devil Canyon > Ravenfell > Weeping Coast > Savage Lands > Aotulia Volcano > Thunderhoof Hills > Southern Janost Forest > Northern Janost Forest > Limo Desert > Land of Malevolence > Redhill Mountains > Tergothen Bay.

It is fairly pointless to go to next zones without first completing prior zones as the quests (if you can even get any) are far beyond your level and the mobs will give you a right royal kick to the butt too

Once you finish Howling Mountains and get to Silverspring and your friend has finished Elven Island you will meet up near Class Hall in Varanas so at about lv 10-12 or so, not long

Ravenfell is quite optional. Dust Devil Canyon is a 40-50 zone and Weeping Coast is 50+ but Ravenfell is 45-50. I'd suggest leaving Ravenfell for your second class to complete but if you are struggling with Weeping Coast, you could always fall back to Ravenfell and gain a level or 2 there.

Without double xp and completing every quest at about 45-46 you will get level blocked (unable to pick up quests in ddc) so you go do ravenfell to get you up a couple of levels then go back and finish ddc. But they have alot of exploring to do before having to worry about those zones yet

BTW that boss from Ravenfell. I saw a video on youtube, a guy stuck on it. Seemed to me that he /she was a mage (with a lot of buff bots) hitting only 700 damage average on the boss. Is this boss that hard. I'm mage 54/ druid 51 with normal gear either dropped or given by quests. I'm wondering if is worth to explore that area since a lot of quests poup out as soon I finished a quest given from a pirate in abandoned fortress.

There are two other chains to follow

2nd class: Sascilia Steppes > DragonFang Ridge > Ystra
3rd class: Coast of Opportunity > Xaviera

As far as levels, this would be good rule of thumb:

Howling Mountains (1-10) > Silverspring (10-20) > Aslan Valley (20-30) > Ystra Highlands (30-40) > Dust Devil Canyon (40-45) > Ravenfell (45-50) > Weeping Coast (50-53) > Savage Lands (53-54) > Aotulia Volcano (54-55) > Thunderhoof Hills (55-57) > Southern Janost Forest (57-5 > Northern Janost Forest (58-60) > Limo Desert (60-62) > Land of Malevolence (62-65) > Redhill Mountains (65-67) > Tergothen Bay (67-70).

Sascilia Steppes (1-20) > DragonFang Ridge (20-30) > Ystra
Coast of Opportunity (1-42) > Xaviera (42-51)
