D2 Classic : are area levels equal to LOD ones?

[-Tempus-]

Reworded, the question that could be asked is: is there any place to level out of the Chaos Sanctuary?

what lev char are you trying to lev up?

old school chars would just clear all of act4 in 8ppl games. you dont find that much anymore in d2c 1.09 or 1.10 where you lev up depends a lot on what lev char you are, what kind of char you happen to be and what king of monsters you can kill fast.

i still lev up many of my chars in the arcane in duel games, they seem to stay full for a long time. if you dont want to do CS you can always do cows (they arent as good for exp but still ok if you can kill them fast) one of the best places to lev high chars is still the lower river. if you can find an exp shrine b4 you start.

the reason why ppl like the CS in d2c is you get everyone on the same map/party for more exp, you also kill d and all those champs down there for good exp. the problem is its very hard to find 7 other ppl that have any idea how to coop and dont get each other killed.
