Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / October 2004Best Path 1-60? (NOT AD)
Hey guys, I rolled up an alt Berserker. Got him to 16. Okay, he's twinked (CiC for regen, solid weapons, decent AC, 20kpp worth of stuff aside of the CiC and weapons) - not going to group him a ton. More to have a bit of fun soloing.. I'm stuck at lvl 16 and looking for places to make good experience. 1-4 = newbie zone 4-6 = Blackburrow 6-12 = Paludal Caverns 12-16 = Kurn's Tower 16-60 = ???? I tried going PC to do the soloing non-bandit camps, but i cant seem to get past B2 as strangely enough on my server (Mith Marr) PC seems to be near empty 95% of the time now and B2 is generally vacant at the times that I play. I don't particularly want to fight the Phlargs because even though I have the CiC they still hit me (hardish) and infect me with the crud which literally takes away the effect that the CiC has on me (well minimises it at best). Since the only other character I've played up to a 'high' level (53) has been a cleric (Ytoojae if you're on Mith Marr) I'm not too well versed in the soloing path. If anyone could advise a path to 60 (thats ideally where I'd like to take the berserker) soloing I'd appreciate it. Last place I tried was the Warrens where I met a white kobold that conned dark blue to me at which point I decided to beat it to 70% quite easily to where it cast Fear on me and I had half the zone on my tail (empty zone otherwise) and I luckilly got to the exit before death. Not fun!! Thanks, A.C. > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > If anyone could advise a path to 60 (thats ideally where I'd like to > take the berserker) soloing I'd appreciate it. You won't solo a Berserker to 60 ... if you had wanted a class that could solo you should have rolled a wizard, necro, druid or Bard. The Berserker is definately not a solo class. I know I have one. regards @ndrew > You won't solo a Berserker to 60 ... if you had wanted a class that > could solo you should have rolled a wizard, necro, druid or Bard. The > Berserker is definately not a solo class. I know I have one. Yes, I realise wizard, necro, druid and bards are the main soloers. Although, I have a friend who in the past three years has soloed a paladin from 1 to 55 but obviously the game has changed since he was in his early ages. I know I can get him to at least 24 as thats where my Paladin is at - but I did that a few months ago when it was still easy to get to the other side of PC and he could heal himself.

You can solo just about any class that high, and higher, I've soloed my warrior to 32 so far, with a few groups here and there, but 90% soloing. Lance can probably better answer your Berzerker question though, I have not tried one yet.

That'll stop at about level 40. You'll find that with your warrior, at high levels, soloing anything but a light blue is near impossible. With really twinked up gear, you may be able to solo to 50. Even then the xp will be so SLOW. My suggestion, make good friends with a cleric now. Grouping is fun, especially with people you are familiar with, or that are good players. Sony gives really nice xp bonuses for groups now, too. >> Angelic Celtic <youwish@suckme.beautiful> wrote in >> news:416BD014.5080607 @suckme.beautiful: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > with, or that are good players.

Not that I've ever tried it, but it might be possible to zone into VT and back out and fight him on his spawn point without aggroing the others. Aggro range seems reduced somewhat at 70, but not sure it would be enough for that. >>Hey guys, >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > could solo you should have rolled a wizard, necro, druid or Bard. The > Berserker is definately not a solo class. I know I have one. Twinked out with regen gear, a berserker solos better than most melee characters up into the mid 50s; basically a regenning zerker can take anything DB that he can single pull and that isnt' immune to stun; bonus points for killing casters, who waste a -lot- of DPS on casting spells you interrupt before they go off. Above 55 or so things slow down dramatically and viable targets start to vanish, as 55+ mobs are all immune to your stuns, and the normal model where mob DPS goes up faster than PC mitigation also applies. I soloed at least half of every level except a few in the 18-24 range, which I think I blew thru in an afternoon grouped in PC, and while I'll grant you it doesn't compare to the solo classes you name, its really a lot better than soloing a warrior, cleric, enchanter (all classes I've solo'd as well) and on a par, more or less, with soloing a shaman; the shaman can take harder targets but the berserker's kill rate on easier targets is much higher. Lets see, these were my principle stops as I recall them: Tutorial Everfrost (getting newbie armor drops) Blackburrow Crushbone Kurns Paladul Phlargs Paladul Bandits in group Paladul Bandits solo Echo Caverns Gunthak Beach grouped Gunthak Beach solo Gunthak tunnels Dulak scouts Dulak warehouses Dulak ships grouped Dulak ships solo POJ grouped POJ solo Velks POJ second floor Chardok grouped Chardok exit solo Griegs Grouped Valor Grouped Torment Grouped I definately did a lot of other zones on the way up, but those were my principle sources of exp. The Grouped items indicate places where I wasn't able to effectively solo at first, but was able to group, and after leveling once or twice could solo. I also did a fair number of LDoN's, but rarely found them decent exp compared to what I was doing... unless I was soloing in them, but that was never more than a few mobs, because after the first few I'd inevitably end up with multiples I couldn't handle. At 58 I can still solo downstairs in POJ and chardok exit, but the exp rate is pretty slow, I can't yet solo Griegs and can't even tank at all in Torment (every other place on the list where it says group I was MT about half the time) My current soloing zone is... hmm, I forget what its called, the zone underneath LOIO. Veksar? But thats such a long trip that I just as frequently either do POJ or just hang out and chat with folks in POK while LFG. Honestly, I might have topped out on the class, because my inability to solo well means I stay LFG more, and at the same time I'm getting far far fewer invites; under 50 I could get a group in 10 minutes or less almost always, now I'm lucky to see an invite within two hours. When I could solo, LFG didn't bother me at all, because I was busy anyway, and could group or not, no big deal. Now that soloing is inconvienient and grouping takes forever to arrange, my interest in the class is seriously starting to wane.

Since you think you might have topped out your zerker, any idea what your next project might be? Is there any class that you haven't topped out? Please answer in five thousand words or more.

Please answer in five thousand words or more. > Unless you don't feel like it of course, then don't answer at all. Dunno, I'm sort of on haitus at the moment, haven't played EQ in over a week now, other than logging in long enough to get a body out of Fear and just this morning to test invis vs charm (invis wins). I was seriously considering going back to my bard, which I gave up on due to RSI, but oddly the most recent patch doesn't seem to have included the Melody thing they are playing with on patch. I could go back to my mage and get him to 70, or my cleric, with the same plan. Or I have a 52 shaman I abandoned, not because I felt I'd topped out, but because a friend wanted to start new characters on Firiona Vie. I've heard bad things about high end shaman these days, though, and I'm not sure I need to repeat my Berserker experience so soon. I "topped out" my warrior at about 30, but he's been deleted. Have an enchanter at about there too, not as "topped out" by any means, but I'm seeing a lot of unhappiness reported in the enchanter front these days. I have a baby ranger I made to support my berserker with, he's 25 or so... but another relatively unwanted class that can solo only painfully? I'm not so sure I want to continue with that line of approach. I also have a 34 druid who again was created soley as a support character, but I don't really see anything out there that makes me eager to delve back into him. Classes I haven't played past 20 or so: Necromancer Paladin Beastlord Shadowknight Monk Rogue Wizard Paladin strikes me as similar to berserker but with more "top end" utility; I'd miss the sheer raw power though. Shadowknight, at least at low levels, just isn't my cup of tea, I've tried it a few times but never got past 11 or so. Dunno why, and perhaps trying it again I'd feel differently. Beastlord is interesting, a jack of all trades sort of class, I only played one, into the low 20s, shortly after luclin release. Back then there wasn't much to look forward to on the class, and I went back to playing my cleric. Perhaps I'd like it more now... and maybe with more modern gear and spells I could get up out of the doldrums I seemed to hit in the mid 20s. Monk, well, it seems a poor solo choice, and not much wanted in groups; thats not to say its not a good class, but it seems a poor choice for me since I don't have a built in support group. Rogue, well, take what I said about monks and double it in every direction. Really bad solo, really not wanted in groups, excellent class, but really piss poor if you don't have guildmates or a regular group to play with. The "really not wanted in groups" part is of course stupid, but it seems to be true anyway. Necromancer is an interesting thought, I literally quit my last one in the low 20s because he was too easy to play, too powerful. I've played powerful characters more now, though, and could probably cope better with the seeming excess. Leaving Wizard. My very first EQ character was a wizard. Played him to level 4, never looked back. Poor soloer till what, 29, 34? Not wanted in groups ever. Again, without friends willing to put up with a class that's percieved as substandard, I don't think so. Oddly, I might just quit, I've been busy IRL and haven't logged into EQ On any character in about two weeks, and looking forward I might be offline for 6 months starting as soon as Thanksgiving. Hell, if it wasn't for AGE I'd probably have quit already! Grage This is odd... I just now saw your post pop up, though it looks like it was written on the 19th.

I know it sure felt odd when I quit. I mean, it still doesn't feel real to me that I'm not playing any more. I'm really enjoying CoH, but I am hoping that EQII has the same draw for me just so that I can be be back in Norrath, and enjoying it again. > Hell, if it wasn't for AGE I'd probably have quit already!

Yeah I noticed a whole bunch of my posts scattered back over several weeks all got sent around the same time just recently; not sure what that means.

Well I haven't quit... except that I haven't logged on at all in over a month, and I notice I don't have any actual desire to do so at the moment. I guess the difference between "not playing at the moment" and "quit" is when I stop paying for the account, instead of just not logging on. Of course, as we know, they don't actually wipe accounts, so I could stop paying for a year and still log back on the next day... recidivism! >>Hell, if it wasn't for AGE I'd probably have quit already! > > I'm just glad I haven't been hit with a ton of "You don't play EQ, so > stop hanging around here!" posts.

Just got thru with this year's business yesterday, I'd appreciate my usual 3 months of slow work days and down time... but I might be spending 16 hour days doing constructovore instead. That will also mean more than 6 months away from the house... if you think paying $13 a month for an EQ account I'm not using is silly, imagine how paying mortgage payments on a house thats sitting empty more than half the year feels! When it was only 3 months it wasn't so bad, but this is getting out of hand.

True enough. I actually stopped play for about two months before I stopped paying. Well, I did roll up a baby druid and try to play again for a couple of hours, but felt such complete apathy to the project I actually surprised I could ever feel that way about EQ. > Of course, as we know, they don't actually wipe accounts, so I could > stop paying for a year and still log back on the next day... recidivism!

I'm actually fairly ambivalent to the FAQ right now. I really don't think that it should be in hands of someone that doesn't play. There may very well be changes in this regard. As for the rest, well, I've been accused of being cranky lately, and maybe it's true. > Would be a couple months sooner than usual, if we get the go ahead to > tear down a building and put up a new one.

Lance's Top Ten Winebago Down Sides list 10) they cost more than my house. 9) ever drive one in the wind? The sense of horror would be my own. 8) Gas milage about 3mpg, gas prices > $2 a gallon 7) Have to also have a vehicle to drive around when "home" is parked... but I need hauling capacity of F150 or better. Hard to tow one of those behind the motor home 6) If I can have satelite internet in an RV I can have one in the various booths I live in now. Thus far it doesn't seem viable though, I keep talking to friends who are trying it, eventually I think it may start to make sense. Don't need an RV for that, though. 5) Two adults, two pre teens, two cats... -you- stuff them all in an RV and see how happy they are. Its one thing when its just a few months in cramped quarters and there's a house out there waiting. Sell the house and its -forever- in that little space. 4) Both adults and both kids are very kibble oriented, packrat types all. We'd need a second RV just for the books, and then there's toys to consider. 3) I need a workshop to make swords in; my detached two car garage (which will never again see a car inside) works fine since we're zoned industrial. Give up owning property and I'd have to lease work space somewhere... probably cost me more than the mortgage payments 2) while I'd be able to park on festival grounds during the season when fairs are open, that would still leave roughly 4 months a year when I'd have to pay to park somewhere with hookups 1) I'd no longer be able to mock my friends who tried it (you knew I'd get to the real reason eventually) > There just doesn't seem to be a downside.

One type of internet connection that is getting more and more popular is wireless. You could at least dig around and see if there is something like that available reasonably.

About halfway thru my "no phone line" time last year, I got a connection working thru my Verizon phone. I couldn't get EQ working... but it wasn't till I got back to a real phone line and -still- couldn't log on to EQ that I found out it was a setting in OE that was causing the problem. I suspect I could have used the verizon connection to play EQ after all. Sadly, I've now moved to Cingular, and I'm not at all sure the same is true of this connection; had to move to it because of my wife's business and some messed up problems with credit card acceptance, which definately trumps my ability to play EQ. On the surface, it appears that it will cost me $75 a month for an unlimited connection, and that seems a bit steep (on top of MMOG monthly fee) to play games. But this was about the RV, not the connection; again, I can use a cell phone without an RV just as easily as I could use satelite without an RV.

In fact, his version of the FAQ looks fantastic. Alot more links than I had, so it's easier to navigate. And the new form allows for more detailed answers/essays to be posted as separate documents, for the more encyclopdiaic approach some seem to favor.

Don't park at all those four months. Drive around seeing the grandeur that is America/Canada/Mexico/South America.

Possible zones: 16-20 Oasis of Marr 21-24 East Karanas 25-35 Marus Seru I'm sure there are better places, but I if you're well twinked I would think those zones should be doable. I would suggest staying away from the Crag Spiders in East Karanas. They'll poison you and hurt your regen like the Phlargs. If you could find a way to get past the Phlargs, there's a series of tunnels in Paludral not far from the Hollowshade Moor zone in. The tunnels have Sensai Mushrooms and those Luclin insect model creatures that could take you up to level 23 or so. They give good xp, but the insect creatures might hit too hard to make soloing worthwhile. You can usually pull one at a time, but once in awhile there are two or three too close to be separated. It's a tough place to get in and out of without an invisibility spell or gate. > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > (empty zone otherwise) and I luckilly got to the exit before death. Not > fun!! It may not be fast, but my choices for soloing are: 16-20 Field of Bone (near Kurns, 24 is possible here as well) 20-25 Hollowshade Moor (on southern islands) 25-30 Swamp of No Hope (near the obelisk south of the FoB zone line) 30-35 Crazed Goblins in Butcherblock 35-50 Firiona Vie My soloing (95% +) Warrior is currently in FV and 47. His equipment however makes him a paper Warrior, but this is my attempt at a total non-twink to see how far I can take him all by his lonesome. >> Hey guys, >> [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > however makes him a paper Warrior, but this is my attempt at a total > non-twink to see how far I can take him all by his lonesome. For soloing in the low 30s, Crystal Caverns is great, that's where my warrior has been most recently. Prior to that, spent some time in Runnyeye, also solo.

Offhand, just because no one is ever there, give Befallen a look, but be careful, the mobs are very social. Also, you can do the Aviaks in SK to about 32, and pick up groups are pretty easy to get. Plus, you can kill these suckers, then sell to them (vendor upstairs, he sells to some, not to others--he'll deal with my necro Iksar, probably one of the most deplorable characters in the game, but won't speak to my elf bard), or at the very least, sit down among them and heal. No faction hits. Of course, if you get up to around 28 or so before they change it, Dalnir is a hot zone (good to about 40), and is pretty sweet when no one is around, or others are deep inside, or you have a good group. Again, a replay of Befallen, the mobs are very social. > Offhand, just because no one is ever there, give Befallen a look, but > be careful, the mobs are very social.

Social mobs are not good news for a soloing berserker; we can effectively "slow" one mob by stunning it every 12 seconds, but adds do full damage, and we are at best relying on regen for heals during a fight, and bandages in between (till 45 when we can get a clicky hp buff that works like the famous clicky DW hat for paladins); this means keeping the damage down to a managable level becomes very important... and we have no root or other method of CCing already pulled mobs. Finding targets that are either not social, or that are generally seperated by enough distance to get single, is very important to a solo berserker.
