Came back after several monthsFollow

I decided to see how this game was after quiting several months ago.

Anyway I have noticed they nerfed about every Waist, ring, and wrist item to have no mitigation. Well anyways I made a dark elf crusader. Needless to say I am non-twinked (as if you can be twinked as a fighter before 10 anyways). Well I am lvl 9 now have a full suit of crap armor and am trying to do my class quest. It basically involves going into a guilding and killing some mobs. Well I have tried 3 times now and every blasted time I try I get killed! I don't know what else to do. This is a solo quest so I can't get help. There is really no armor or weapon upgrades till I get 10 (which once again I can't do until I beat this crap).

Just seems like BS to me. How is a new player supposed to get past crap like this with all the restrictions SOe has in this game.

I did the Qeynos crusader quest so not sure if I can advise or not. It also involved having to "sneak" into a building to take out a specific target. I also died the first time I did it.

Based on MY quest experience (and presuming it is relevant to the FP quest) - stick to the mission. Your job is to find and kill a target, do that and that only. Fight only what you must fight. There were some mobs that I did not need to fight - and especially a cook, as I recall, who was a serious bad*ss and handed me my head on his platter.

This is based on the storyline up to that point. As I recall, one thing the storyline says about crusaders is that they need to be smart about how they approach a fight - you aren't (officially) a tank and the storyline does differentiate that difference between the warrior career line and the crusader line.

Hope that helps.
