Per-Level Hunting Guide
While there are *many* hunting guides for Everquest in general, and quite a few for Project 1999 in particular, all of them take a broad approach. For instance, many don't distinguish between grouping or soloing spots, or whether certain classes are particularly suited to a spot. Many also just reference a zone, without explaining the particular hunting area. And almost every one I've seen breaks down hunting grounds in groups of five levels, even though most hunting spots aren't good for exactly five levels.
In contrast, this guide will attempt to show the best hunting grounds for each individual level, with notes about soloability vs. groupability and specific class/faction concerncs. Initially it will mainly contain content from other guides, but hopefully over time it will grow to include more (and more specific) content.
