a spectral crusader pet

After visiting Dalnir several times before reaching level 45, I prepared for a long journey through the crypt. The first level was a good indicator of how the rest of the dungeon cycles. You always have to watch for roaming mobs and new pops. If there was one thing I learned while soloing here, it is to be patient yet vigilant. Pick your targets carefully and know when to FD or run for the exit.

First level: with the new color system in place, most mobs were grey with a few greens here and there.

Second level: still mostly grey with more greens appearing and light blues now and then.

Third level: still greys and more greens with more light blues appearing. The highest level I encountered was the Kly Overseer on my way out.

If your skills are up to par, I recommend making a quick grab of the Sarnak hide (ground drop - part of the Shackle of Tynnonium quest) before exiting. I had time to think and research this as I camped the Crusader Room for the coerced penkeeper (total of 9 hours over two days). Each level has a relatively safe spot in which to camp if the need arises. If you are seeking the Crescent gear, you must prepare for a looooong wait, especially at level 45. Greys won't drop this (no XP) and greens very rarely do.

think i could camo, and or sneak hide to goo's on second level to get my practice sword? :)?

Any idea on Undead Blacksmith's spawn table? My friends and I camped his room for 4 hours and no boner. We cleaned the Church continually while waiting on him and the imprecator popped then dropped after about 2 hours (Shard was in his fancy britches so we stuffed em with dollar bills till we got our show..)yet no Smith...(

Will go back soon to finish this part of the Greenmist Quest...that Katana will be very satisfying to wield in honor of the Knights of Greenmist and Rile, our Father.

I'm currently a 45 chanter on the Inny server, and I'm trying to finish the test of enlightenment (got spoon, and the key), and I need the Lost Scroll, which I think spawns in a bedroom on a third floor. My guild (The Sacred Legion of Tunare) is mostly 50+ and I wondered if a group of us could fight to the exit on the third floor and get the scroll for the chanters in our guild. I read about this place and it sounds dangerous, with adds and casters and all.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. ^_^

Just a little FYI,

After getting the EQ Atlas for christmas (very nice reading material), there was an interesting passage concerning Dalnirs Crypt.

"Due to the meek so-called "warriors" that Bathezid relieved into Kly's possession, Kly placed an enchantment upon the whole of the crypt in hopes to speed up the training and strength of his guardians. The enchantment did not end its grasp upon the Sarnak warriors and arcane pupils, however, and all creatures that lurk within Dalnir have been subject to its effects."

A.K.A. Nice XP Bonus

Well here I sit after my corpse run...sigh.... I thought long and hard about his place, I checked many a posting about the place, looked at the beastiary, planned my strat. I thought hmmmmm Me lvl 46 Sk, the mobs lvl 25 to 33.. this is gonna be a cake walk. Well the mobs found my ass and handed it to me. I am chasing the damn dagger parts. Can these be soloed? sigh sigh sigh

Im planning on getting my monk though his Shakle quest, so i need to go up to the 3rd floor and camp the pennkeeper guy. At lvl 54 could i walk arould with out fear of being jumped by an entire floor? this is going to be my first time entering this zone and not sure what to expect. Also do the earring of station drop off the Kly too? Any advice would be great im not planning on going for a few days.

Went from Top to Bottom yesterday with a 51 Cleric, 35 monk, 25 monk, and me 33 shaman. Only two pieces of crecent dropped. 8(

Everyone seems to be asking about soloing here so I thought I would give you some insight on my experiences as a melee in Dalnir. First off I was not really even able to solo the entry mobs as a lvl33 monk. The major problem is that most(90%) of the mobs here in Dalnir are casters, which means you will start a battle by being smitten, or the like, for 50-150 twice in the first 15 seconds of the fight. Then the mobs hit pretty hard so you will lose around 400hp in about 30-45 seconds, depending on your AC and magic resistance. If you have very fast weapons, such as 18dly, or you can stun the mob you will have a much better chance of succeeding against the casters because you will occasionally interrupt them. At lvl35 you should be able to take the entrance mobs, not easily though, as long as you can pull singles but even then you will have long down times unless you have some sort of regen item such as a fungi. What you really want to succeed in Dalnir is a well balanced group or be of a level where you wont get exp, such as lvl45 or higher. Dalnir is a fun place to hunt but with a group not solo. The constant respawns and caster based trains make this place a soloing nightmare for anyone who cant FD. I would suggest that unless you can bring a group of 3 or more stick to the giant fort in Warsliks Woods.

could a lv 25 aplly in full bronze with ghoulbane and SBS solo here in room 1 on EQatlas map? I am getting tired of unrest(spent 15 levels in the blasted place, fun but gets boring after months of hunting) and want somewhere as fastpaced yet as good exp and just as seldomly camped, this sounds like a good place assuming i can actually kill stuff, can I?

Qaenyin Angelblade, crusader of tunare, high elven, level 25, proud wielder of ghoulbane's powers!

Can a lvl 30 Barbarian Warrior (full crafted armor, Wurmy, Centi LS) solo here? I can't think of anywhere to go now. Highkeep's exp is getting low, and Velious is still a little too high for me. I came across Dalnir, but have some hesitations about going there...anyone help?

got this on Third floor, monk iksar/human only. no drop, magic, lore.....what the hell is it for?

Excuse me if this is a very stupid question what with it being a crypt.... But are most of the mobs in Dalnir's Undead? I'm a lvl 30 pally and am looking for somewhere new to hunt, I'm fed up with Unrest and Najena. I'm distinctly ordinary against normal mobs but the nature of the pally spells and my Ghoulbane make pretty effective against Undead. Is Dalnir's the place for me? Or should I go elsewhere?

I have found that I can minimalize my damage from dropping to the lower levels in this zone by simply jumping in and pressing forward into a corner... you will stick there and can turn towards the nearest corner and stick to that one... Repeat this until you drop. I have actually done this a couple times with NO damage at all, but usually get about a 20hp damage from the final drop. Just an FYI for those of us that don't have levitate! :-)

Am looking to get some Crescent armor for my monk...Think a 34 druid would be able to solo there?

Here goes nothing.

Me, 41 pally, and my bro, 30 necro, are going to bring my lv 4 monk in here and get him some Cresent stuff. Then we will gate him out with a Wiz or a Druid. It could work. We'd have to go invis from Oasis and camp right in Dalnir. When we get the drops, camp and incomes the monk.

Wish us luck.

Dalnir is the location for several quests for my Iksar brood including Trooper Scale Bracers for warriors, and Mystic Scale Bracers, for shamans. Any mid level monk who wants to upgrade his
armors to Crescent armor or to grab a fighting baton comes here also. The Crescent is no-drop so
they have to pick it up in person. It drops from any of the sarnaks on the 2nd level and 3rd lvls.

The non-aggro mobs are the 'wormy' things (Ravenous Nibblers,) and they are really non-aggro
even though they con 'attack'. You can sit and med right under it and it will not attack. Be careful
to test its aggro by walking next to it when you are looking for something to kill and leave it alone
if does not attack you. Some of them are aggro and some are not so you have to test the aggro
before you know for sure. The aggro radius is less than the coerced mobs but more than just 2
steps away; more like 5 steps away

I was in a group before where we got the entire 2nd floor to pop as those non-aggro's excpet the
Imprecator (two spawns in his room), the two Lumpy goo's, and the one Iksar prisoner guy. It was
great because we owned the floor with relatively no chance of death due to add's. Everybody got a
2Hpractice sword and we had to let at least 2 rot since they are Lore.

I was in a group the other day with Buzzek (35 necro) and 4 others with a 36 druid as main healer
and we held the 2nd floor again. Including pulling Imprecator when he popped. All was fine until the
puller decided that since the whole floor except our few spawns were non aggro that he would
clean out the nibblers too. Next thing I know we had no place to rest in the pool room anymore
since we would keep getting adds of coerced mobs as we were fighting. The druid got down to 5%
health and gated out, the SK tank went down with corpse getting stuck in the pool room wall, and
the other three of us were oom and/or under 10% health. Even though I was group leader and said
to not kill the non aggro's in the pool room, the puller got impatient waiting on a spawn and the
result was our 2nd floor was no longer held, and group broke up waiting on corpse retreival for ogre
SK and for the druid to zone back. Our group split up after that long delay and called it a night.
We got 2 practice swords, 1 fighting baton, 3 pieces of crescent armor, and tonz of exp with the
dungeon bonus on top of our group bonus; all in about 2 hours. Lesson learned again, do not pull
the non-aggro's especially in the pool room if you dont want add's to the fight and interrupts during
resting/medding. (Not to mention fatalities.)

By the way during the time that the pool room was non-aggro we would occasionally have a LD in
our group, and no problem just re-add or re-group when came back. If that happened during time of
aggro-pool-room, then you cant adjust or wait for a relog.

We took a group
53 sk
30 monk
30 druid
and me 43 monk
we killed everything in the zone from top to botom we got nothing but a bambo stick worth nothing how long must you camp the place to get items.

People very often talk about things in Dalnir Crypt being "Under Conned". Infact things are conned fine, however the difficulty of Dalnir Crypt yields its own uniqueness. The enemies are almost a "Trick" they seem to be rather simple, and most of their melee attacks aren't that bad. But do becareful, because the "Trick" tp this place is mearly the toughness of spells. Monsters here can heal themselves and use some nasty offensive spells for those of levels 25-30. At 30+ this place becomes a lot more accessable safety wise. So come to this place on guard, it's not your usual camp and fight the meleers and get bored. It will keep you on your toes from levels 25-33. And the EXP... well it ownZ just about anywhere for hunters of 25-35. So, my advice.. Get you a good group of 28-35 and go rock the place daily =)

Do people still hunt here, when kunark first came out my mage would group here a lot. But, i'm way past that level now, and i'm wondering if people still hunt here, because my monk needs a place to hunt.

30 ranger can solo here? and if anyone is on tz is this a darkie/lightie zone?

Im a lvl 40 Iksar Shaman, will I be ok here? Looks like I might with everything being high 20s and low 30s. But im not sure, I dont hunt here. =/
