This guide provides answers to the ‘Where do I go next?’ question while doing the 1 to 80 level grind. There are other guides out there that provide more comprehensive listings of quest areas and grind locations, but you don’t need to go to every location. (Complete list of zones/instances. Great list of grinding locations.)

NOTE: I place a high priority on acquiring the more important feats as soon as possible. As a result, the feat progression is a little...

For the most part, the PoM community has a consensus about the important feats for leveling. This guide will explain the best order in which to select the feats and the reasons for picking them.
