Ok so let me tell you what me and my friend did yesterday. We both decided to try something, we made new character both elvaan warriors, got on teamspeak and starting playing. As most people know you can get to level 5 in about an hour. Now here is our strategy, at level 5 we both bought long bows 500 arrows and buttefly axe. We then bought some selbina milk which is really cheap in Sandoria NPC right near the auction house and bought 2 stacks of Meat MIthkabob which on my server goes for around 3k a stack. Now we head out and focus on fightin only Even Match and Decent Challenge. To our suprise at level 5 with Mithkabobs we was hitting for around 30-50 damage with bows and 20-40 with axe. So we stand back both fire shot and if both shots hit most time they would just die or if they didnt we stand still and when they got close we both took a swing and then they died. Doing this we was able to kill Even match/decent challenge mobs without getting hit or at most getting hit for 10-15 hp of damage. So your talking about experience around 25-80 for almost instant kills. We did this all the way to level 12 in one night. Approximately 5 hours. Now at level 12 we are using the Royal Archer’s Longbow and the Great Axe. Now we are hitting with our bows vs Even match and Decent Challenge for about 60-90 damage for regular attacks with our bows and almost the exact same for our Axe’s. So we are still almost one hit killing stuff or at least killing it before it can get no more then 1 attack off netting in exp around 25-100 still. So we just non stop walk in circles fightin Even match / Decent Challenge mobs withouth hardly ever having to rest and netting large amounts of experience over time. It is much faster to kill 4 mobs for 45 exp each then to kill an IT or VT mob for 200 exp then have to rest right after and possibly die if you dont get your hits in. Doing this is safe, no chance of dieing and you get super fast exp gains. So from character creation to level 12 we managed to get there in about 7 hours using just meat mithkabobs and fighting even match /decent challenge mobs.

Edit: Thought id just throw in this handy macro for using bow/mellee weapon with a warrior.
/ra <t>
/wait 5
/a <t>

Using that macro you will fire shot then go right into combat mode which helps because after you hit it, the mob will aggro and by the time it gets to you ,your already taking a swing at it. Also as soon as you take a swing with your axe you can hit that macro again and take another shot with bow asap resulting in 2 fast attacks for huge amount of damage. Suprisingly either of us rarely ever miss vs even match /decent challenge mobs.
