Yeahhh I did Md Hardcore once throughout the 50s...haha woops...I mostly just did any quests I can get my hands on. Even though it might take a little while if you do some of the quests yourself it seemed like there was a better chance of obtaining drops that way(at least for me as a cleric). And personally I think you get better experience just grinding in the abyss unless you can really find someone that wants to grind hardcore for blue trumpies. A lot of the time when I tried that it took a little while for them to spawn so was about the same experience. But anyway what we did was get a party of 4 together - cleric, cleric, mage, archer. Then you go to one of the biggest rooms in abyss(go in opposite direction from where the guard is looking) and have the archer lead while the clerics follow and heal him. Have the archer poison all of them as they are following him so most of them by the time you get to the other side are practically dead, and have the mage just mop them up at the other side. We were obtaining about 10-15k experience a pull. Might have been even more... its been about 2 weeks since I was in the 50s
but it was definitely around there so the experience went really fast.
Also as a little heads up once you reach level 60. I'd recommend finding a mage/fighter that is level 69 for the abyss. You'd be suprised how many there are trying to get to level 70 and need a cleric to heal them for AOE. I obtained practically 2 levels just from doing AOE for many hours at a time. Gained 2(almost 3) levels in one day doing that
