The way to level up weapons is to find those sweet spots where you have some yellow and red enemy that either can't kill you or do almost no damage, or of course go with a friend who can heal you while you take on things you otherwise couldn't.

Kingshead: Yes, the training group in the main field get a lot of attention and they are good for working several weapons, however when you outgrow them the masses in the building area at the top of the hill are even better. I can gather 10+ easy there and don't have to worry about anyone else working them.

El Suduron/Padre coast: Once you are over level 10 in pistol and have the hex eater bullets, disableing gypsy and then taking them out with whatever weapon you are working is almost too easy. I'm also at a point where I work grenades faster by throwing at things on the shore on the back side of Padre than the groups on kingshead and I don't have to run around to do it. The grenadiers are kind enough to stand where they are so I can just toss and toss fast, AND you can restock more grenades right there. Just can't beat it. Stumps are always fun (at least the graphics are cool on them).

Padre caves: When you head into the caves from the fort Dundee side, head down the stairs and take the stairs to the left you pass a couple of vets and at the other end of the bridge are a few navy and undead doing battle. Again, easy to get a crowd around you here. The brigand/gypsy/grenadier area farther in works well at high levels.

Tormenta: The left entrance is an easy place to work some not too hard mid 20's. The first spawn walks around and is either a Dregs or Flotsom and normally 22-25 in level. Then there is another one on the next landing down that is either a flotsom or low level spineskull. Once the fodder at kingshead are only grey to you, working cutlass/dagger on these may be faster even if it is killing one at a time with only two spawns. Just watch out for the seabeards as I believe they are the toughest creatures to beat in the game. Just nasty undead they are.

The above areas are best used by people well over level 25 with tormenta being well over 30. At the lower levels you may be best served by leveling with groups and just sharing the exp on decent targets.

Of course where you hunt and what you do depends in large part on your skill and your desire. That is, if you are looking to level while also doing something constructive instead of just power leveling then staying on busy servers and looking to help random people through kingshead or other areas may work best vs just endlessly sitting and mashing dull target after target that can't hurt you.
