30-40 can be a real pain in the ass, as quests dry up pretty quickly, and then you're forced to migrate to another area, which may be near or far.

30-32 -
Finish up your Tarren Mill quests, then grab the Rod of Heracular quest from the undead apprentice in the graveyard beside the ruined church. Then head over

to the Darrow Cave and grind the living crap out of those yetis. Before I got the rod, I was level 33 and the Yeti's still yielded good exp. Turn the rod

quest in for a suitable 2100-3000 exp and continue the chain if you want.

32-34 -
I fluctuated between STV and Arathi for these. Start the Mok'Thardin quest chain in Grom'gol, as you'll be working towards it for the next 6 levels. In

Arathi, do the Guile of the Raptor quests. 37 raptors should be no problem for you if you handle them right.

34-36 -
I was mainly in STV here, grinding away at the STV bloodscalp quests. I had 4 which required me to kill, kill and kill. From those 4 and the 2 hours of

grinding it took to get the items, I was 36. Fastest two levels for a long time.

36-38 -
Continue expaning on with the Nesingwary hunting quests, dont bother with the Green Hills quests, the rewards arent worth nearly as much as the time and

effort you put into it. However, if you're really interested, go grind the goblin geologists over near Lake Nazerfeti (or something like that). I had two 16

slot bags full just with pages, sold majority for around 1g each while I did a quest i picked up in the BB tavern near the FP.

38-40 -
38 wasnt so bad, as I finished the Mok'Thardin and the Nesingwary chains, getting a decent set from the reward. I mainly just grinded on ogres for the 6 or

so bubbles which remained afterwards. 39, however, is one of the longest grinds (or so it felt) i've had for a long time. I tried jungle stalkers and SM

runs. Jungle stalkers were okay, but without rest the grind is a long one, and you'll often find yourself at the wrong side of a claw/blade. I got ganked a

total number of 89 while I grinded this level, and it took me 7h and 15m to finish it.

A few quick notes about grinding:

When moving to these areas, make sure you pick up the migration quests (such as the Desolace one who gives you a horn to take to Nesingwary, which starts

that chain effectively) as they yield anywhere from 200 exp to a whopping 3000 exp (nearly 2 whole bubbles at 34).

Also, invest in enhancement potions. Elixirs of Greater <insert skill here>> are a great way to add DPS and reduce downtime. 5g for 5 EoGA knocked about 2 hours off my grinding with the quite decent 7dps buff it gave.

Everytime you visit a town, refill your ammo/knives, whatever. It isnt worth breaking the rhythm of a good grind because something broke or you're out of ammo.

Only ever pick up kill or gather from kill quests. Migration are okay, but take them just as you're done with that area.

Dustwallow Marsh is a waste of time.
