I know its not to hard to level at 20 but heres a pretty neat strategy that i used with my rogue. There is a quest that you can get http://www.thottbot.com/c349 from a corporal that is lost in a cave in Redridge (check thottbot link for more details) i used stealth and got to him. Hes deep in a cave and his escort route has tons of orcs, so i started up the quest and this lovely 25 elite corporal goes around murdering everything in sight and regenerating full health after each fight, i get the xp and loot. Once he kills all the orcs out the cave, let him run ahead and the quest fails, run back into cave, wait for respawns, accept quest and repeat! Tadaa you have a owning partner that doesnt take your loot or xp, how much better can it get? if this was posted, then flame on, but i doubt it has. Hopefully this can come usefull, Enjoy!
