When should fighters fight certain monsters?

[mr_jo]

I've heard of fighters that will start fighting monsters in collapsed prison at lvl 29. Is this smart on their part? When should fighters start fighting monsters 20+ lvls higher than they are?

I think they're fighting monsters that high level because they get way better exp and it's a plvl of sorts and only on important levels like 29-30 where you can get a new set of gears or 43 when you get devastate.It's not recomended to fight monsters that high level...to judge if a monster is good for your level you can look at the colour of it's name:

white<green<yellow<orange<red(easy-hard)
The yellow are reccomended.

Fighting monster 20 lvls higher than you is never a good idea unless you are stacked. I wouldnt try fighting in CP at lvl 30 without being scrolled buffed and had a +9 axe...then again i play it safe.

The fighter I saw was using a 1h/shield and t1 def./aim./vit. You think it's safe to assume that that person was either really skilled, or had a fools luck? I wonder what the build was...I have a full end, and I had more hp than her at that lvl, so she's not a tanker build.

It's not really smart or worthwhile to do that unless you have high leveled help. As a half time fighter, I reccomend

20-29 Burning Hill and some moonlight tomb
30-39 Mainly Moonlight tomb and Vine Tomb
40-49 Almost only Goblin Camp, but you can go to Collapsed Prison at this point, its just a little challenging
50-59 Collapsed Prison, Uruga, Ancient Elven Woods, and Scaffold Execution Grounds are all relatively good spots for these levels.
60-69 I'm not really sure, I would guess that Ancient Elven Woods and Forest of ??Slumber??? (I'm not sure what its called) Would be good places.

And of course all of the abysses for those levels!

I'm moving to harkans at level 40...I think lvl 29 fighting things CP might be a bit pointless because you do very little damage. You can certainly go for higher level monsters than normal though...Especially if you use a hybrid END/STR build with an axe.

IMO, you could get away with fighting in CP at level ~35 when you get your new armor/weapons. It'll be hard to kill things and they'll hurt badly if you get agroed, but you could do it. Add a 50% exp card into the equation and you'll be flying through the levels.
