I'm into KoSFollow

I was stuck. I couldn't level, even with 100% vitality xp bonus.

Lvl 54 and I had gone through most of the quests available in DoF. Not shabby since I leveled exclusively in DoF from lvl 43-54. Lots of content, lots of quests and great rewards. However I was down to the type of quests that make you want to strangle the EQ2 developers for making cause they are so tough and so worthless. I had tried grinding xp on harpies in PoF but it was dangerous and I often got jumped by extra mobs and found myself dead.

Then I was reading the official boards and someone suggested hitting up Tenebrous Tangle. Doing the quests at entrance. So I went to the Antonica teleporter and got zapped up to Overrealm for my first time ever.

Within 2 hours I had made 45g and 36% of lvl 54 on the repeatable basket quests right at the entrance of the zone.

All I can say is Wootles, after the frustration of being stuck at 54 for a week am now blazing along again.

Gotta love those expansions!

I swear the 50's are the rough patch in leveling, just as they were in EQ1. Once you hit 60 though, esp with all the neat stuff you can do in KOS, it seems to fly.

There was one spot in TT when the expansion first came out, where SK would go and hunt solos mobs. One of the things they dropped ( stomach stone or something) was selling for 1pp a piece. He would make up to 10pp a night just playing in that area. Then they changed it as it was a bug. Of course they changed it JUST as I was of the level to go there :p

Those stones still drop, they just lowered the rate at which they do drop. And they sell for 36 gold a piece if i remember.

One of the reasons they nerfed the rate drop was that place on fear island was crowded with chinese plat farmers that were training anyone that was getting near (been trained many times by them just trying to get quests done minding my own business).

But once in a while youll get lucky and get one. Thing is before the nerf you could get away with an easy 10 plats worth of stones for a few hours of killing.

I went from 1% xp into lvl 54 all the way to lvl 55. Went from Achievement 13 to 14. Also made 2 pp.

Not to shabby for one days work, all solo.

Hmm, I'm about 10% away from lvl 53, I wonder if it would be possible to quest in TT at that level?

Or do you really have to be 54 up there?

DoF is fun and all but there aren't many quests there, I've done a lot of yellow and orange quests (apart from a couple of heroics, like the carpet quest) but only have about 3 left in SS and about 4 or so in PoF. And Maj'Dul isn't much better, no idea why but can't find more than three or four quests there.

Mobs at entrance are 56-57, these are mobs for basket quest. My 54 Ranger could chew threw em pretty fast thanks to range/burst dps killing them before they could hurt me.

There are a lot of quest chains that open up quest chains that open up quest chains. Such as Ghassan leading to Rashid leading to whoever. So keep an eye out. Hit up the Monk Quests (north of Merc camp) in PoF if you havent. Lots and lots and lots of stuff if you look for it.

I would recommend bugging some guildies to knock out the Carpet Quests, took about 2 hours made about 15-20% of level and a snap load of gold. Also the free carpet with its 40% speed increase is just dandy.

Hmm, non heroic mobs that are two levels higher seem to be the limit for me. Higher gets risky as I miss too much. Ah well, already at 53 almost anyway.

Meh, I'll wait till I hit 56 to get that carpet myself then, or 58. 7 levels should be enough to take out a heroic mob, normal ones anyway (not like Everling or the HQ mob in Enchanted Lands for the Flowing Black Silk Sash quest).

I'm not that fond of quest chains, I prefer to take the quests in larger amounts at the same time, not one quest leading to another. I've done several quest chains so far too, the one with Ghassan and ending up with killing Rashid, the one with the Embalmer starting with easy skellies and ending up with the Suj'Dal, ...

I'll get by.

As for guildies, I'm European playing on a US server in the middle of a holiday period Smiley: grin, but that doesn't bother me, I knew that in advance!
(and the help I get from my guildies in Foundation already is large!)

this is an awesome and long quest, working on faction either for the disciples or monks. If you finish this quest line, you get a really cool title: Jade Tiger for Qeynos, Ebon Dragon for Freeport. Also it gives you access to another instance zone, which you can not get into unless you've done it or you are with someone who has

Just a heads up, if people start replying to SR on one of my threads and 'feed the troll' so to speak I will be forced to do some karma camping.

You've been warned, Smiley: wink

This
would be the first part I believe, indeed a very long quest line ending with a very difficult clearing of a zone, after that get max ally status and then you can get a new title.

A lot of work, I tried the first part at 53 but that chief guerilla was too hard, avoided too much and I didn't make it. But now that I'm 54, I'll go for it.

You'll be doing that one until you hit kindly, then there should be a new one, a more difficult one.
