Hail fellow Rangers,
I've been hunting in Stonebrunt for a while as I work on the Swiftclaw Sash (15% haste) quest (3 tries - 3 headbands so far). Unfortunately, I was careless last night and managed to die without really noticing where I died :-( My question is, I'm aware that a Bard or a Necr |

First off, you can head to Erudin, and pick up a Chipped Bone Rod from one of the vendors in the city (near the bank). This will assist you in locating your corpse.
Second, the tracking of corpses only works when you are grouped with a ranger at the time of your death, and you do not zone back in |

Your story sounds very familiar one of my experiences in Stoneburnt mountains.
The multiple tries for the Swiftclaw sash, the big open zone, the dying, and the endless running up and down trying to locate my corpse. What saved me was a Chipped Bone Rod. It has three charges of the lvl 1 necro sp |

What equipment is best all depends on the situation and the role you are supposed to play in that situation.
The There major things you should be concerned with as a warrior are AC, Hitpoints, and your ability to pull agro.
If you are MA then the higher your ac and the more hit points you ha |

I personally opt to put skill points in it. If you keep up with your Research levels, even if it costs 10pp per point, that's 50pp per level which at over 30 really isn't tough to get.
The Concordance of Research practice runes, etc, suck as far as I'm concerned. While they generally won't cost |

Well at lvl 8 the only thing i can suggest is to stack up on silks and bone chips and start shouting WTS stack of________. Hopefully there is a higher lvl character wondering thru that needs to buy it. you should be able to get about 5pp per stack. otherwise keep killing and looting.

The chipped bone rod is a god send for those times when you die while AFK, not paying attention or while LD.
Provided you can at least remember the zone you died in you can use the rod to find out where you died.
As long as you have logging on and you died while AFK (be it asleep or really AFK), |

You can also have a Necro or Shadowknight summon your corpse to you. You just need to buy a coffin and be in the same zone when he summons your corpse to you. |

Don't feel dumb, so do I. What a great discussion! As the Tank (not necessarily the MA), my job is to hold agro. I need to have enough AC to absorb the damage , but this also means I must deal out enough damage to keep the mob's attention (only one person for the healer to take care of).

If I have to do Max Damage, I switch to 2HS. Otherwise I use DW 1HS. Remeber, our epic is a weapon that can be either 2HS or two 1HS. My goal is to keep these two skills maxed as I level.
So in a good melee group, I use DW 1HS. But when I really have to SLAY SLAY SLAY I haul out 2HS.

MA should be the only one holding agro. That's what an MA does. The only times you should be getting agro if you're not the MA is a) the MA dies and you're SA b) the MA and SA are both dead and you're TA (etc) or c) |

My goodness gracious, what then would be the point of the GAME?
EQ is challenging for any player at any level who cares to actually play the game, casually or not. Monopolly is boring too, when you can't put out any motels.
You want an easy-to-level-game, go play tetris.

The bell clanged 56 for me this evening, and psyched as I am, I fear my soloing career may be in danger. I absolutely loved fear-kiting in JaggedPine and recommend it to any ranger I meet. No adds or aggroes other than the occassional poacher passerby. Giant annacondas are still blue, but then what. |

My most helpful friends,
Thanks very much for the advice. As I was running through the Warrens on my way to Erudin, some high lvl person had killed pretty well all the kobolds between King Gragnar's room and Paineel. So, I thought to myself, why not loot and see what there is. I picked up all |

There are a few skills that help a ranger's damage output:
Trueshot
Endless Quiver
Archery Mastery I, II, and III
With TS, EQ, and AMIII, you'll do amazing damage...heck even without TS, at that stage, your damage will be amazing. |
