The Ogre

race logoThe Ogre starts off in Ogguk and starts off hunting in the Feerrott and Innothule Swamp. Ogres are considered an evil race and are killed on sight in the good cities of Norrath. What is the best strategy for playing an Ogre? What zones and cities should you take him to and which ones should you avoid? Which factions should you work on improving, and which factions should you be wary of decreasing? How can you safely play your Ogre in the good areas? What are the best quests for the beginning Ogre? Where are the best shops? How should you role play your Ogre?

Kelethin Faction?
# Mar 05 2001 at 1:41 PM Rating: Default
Is it possible to raise faction so that an ogre can sell/buy from Kelethin merchants and use the Kelethin bank? Can't seem to find any quests or critters that raise faction....

If I'm not mistaken to raise Kelethin faction you need to kick butt on some Crushbone Orcs, but I might be wrong
RE: Kelethin Faction?

I think that killing Crushbone Orcs just helps with the guards faction not the merchants, but I am not sure either....

the only faction quest i have seen in Kelethine (or felwithe) is to kill the 4 sisters in Lfay (forgot the names) and turn in the 4 necklaces that drop to the drunk in Kelethine.

Regeneration?
# Mar 01 2001 at 10:35 PM Rating: Default
I have a book about EQ that says that ogers have Enhanced Regeneration like Trolls but i talked to people in the game and said ogies have the slowest regeneration. Does anyone know for sure if ogers do have the slowest regeneration?
RE: Regeneration?
# Mar 22 2001 at 4:23 PM Rating: Default
That is a typo in the EQ strategy guide. It threw me off too. They put all the troll abilities in the ogre box.

All you can do as an ogre is bash and you have infravision. You don't have regenration and you don't have penalties to your fire resistance.
RE: Regeneration?
# Mar 03 2001 at 3:37 AM Rating: Decent
they do not have SLOWED regen at all, it's just that ogres have the most sta = the most hps = a full bar of ogre hp's takes longer then a barbarians.
possible raid on a lighty town on Prexus!
# Mar 01 2001 at 7:31 PM Rating: Excellent
I want to start a raid on one of the gooody two shoes lighty towns. All of us ogres, trolls, dark elves, and even the iksars could get together and kill all the lil towns. what would be the best one though? I was thinking the woodelf town in Gfay (cant ever remember what its called) The reason being that wiz's can port directly there, allowing for quick access. Wouldnt be much if any loot, but would be great fun! Even a few lighty's who want to be evil could come along! This is on Prexus btw

If you're talking about the quest to receive a better tunic (black shadow, I believe), don't worry about it. At 29th level, you should have MUCH better armor than what this will provide.

I made a Shadow knight orge, I have had my streght from equipment and my onw spell & buff over 201 thats alot for a 22 sk I was hitting for 65 everytime ( with a dark rever), I would recomend putting all points to streght, and rest to dex or dex & agility which every dex helps your weapon(s) prox. everything you buy add to streght That's why you made an orge to start with so keep pooring it on my streght with out spells and only equipmen is 163. not bad but I want more. I would recommend that you max out all 2 handed skills slash & blunt never know when you'll change to a better weapon. Troll would be my second choice for the regenration.

As a new ogre I destroyed my book of discord and wanted to join the warrior guild. I had my letter to turn into the guildmaster. Not being sure as to who I should give the letter to I had decided to wait and find out for sure who got the letter. My letter was gone after I died once just outside the city. What gives? How do I get the letter back? Do I really need to turn in said letter? AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH! Many thanks.

Your okay, the letter simply gives you some crap shirt of some sort, faction and exp (which you hardly need). If you want your tome of order and discord back, just create another character, and have them give it to your character.

Ok, normally I resist the urge to make a post that placed on every section, but after I read the article describing the new-- yes, NEW! --experience tables I thought a round of applause for Verant was in order.
I recognize I am usually one of the first to jump on the Almighty V for their lack of responsiveness to their paying subscribers, but it appears they have finally got it right, so I am here to eat some crow.

Well done, Verant!

There. That's enough of that. Crow tastes pretty awful, so don't expect a whole lot of that in the future, V.
If you are wondering what it is I am writing about, refer to January 15th opening news on this website. It seems that Verant has revamped the whole experience/grouping thing and is going to implement this in the next patch.

Just thought I'd pass along the good news!

How do I Raise Faction with Indgobrotherhood
# Dec 19 2000 at 8:13 PM Rating: Default
I have an Ogre Shaman who mastered smithing in Neriak and spent almost three months in there. I traveled a bit did some hunting and got a few levels, i retured to be killed in the bank. Then again by the forge near the bank. What is going on. I was told it was a faction thing, geez I haven't killed that many things, I'm only 16th level. Someone told me it was the IndgoBrotherhood? and the only thing to raise that faction was a Orc slaver? Anyway can anyone offer some help here i need to go to Neriak to Smith. Please help.

Kill noble hunters in Innothule as they pop. Of course, your faction with various good races and guards will go from bad to worse, but almost every single one of them gives positive faction hits with the Indigobrotherhood if that's all you're really after.

if you are level 6, my advice is to wait..... yes i know, it sucks, waiting sucks. hehe. Im very impatient myself, but a level 6 really can't afford smithing. Its REALLY expensive, and time consuming. I know this becasue at level 9 i tried to start smiting and went bankrupt. I'd advise you to start smithing at level 25 or so. from 1-24 its hard to get much cash. Suddenly at level 25 you have a HUGE influx of cash flow. Thats when i would advise to start. Another solution is to get a friend to help out and promise him/her banded or fine plate when you get good enough, ONLY do this if you KNOW you will stick wit the skill! good luk fello ogger!

its impossable.

you cant get faction in Oggok, Grobb or Halas unless you arent KOS already.

if you are at least aprehencive there is 1 really demeaning quest in grobb. and in oggok i would assume you could do the lizerd meat quest.

but there are no quests in halas that you can do unless your indifferent.

Im a level 12 ogre warrior the the commonlands and Freeport area. Ive turned in roughy
45 belts so far and I am at dubiously with the guards from threatenly (sp?), the thing is that it it would appear to me if I got 200 total or 200 more deathfist slashed belts, I may be able to walk in. The way I get the belts to the freeport militia captain IS wolf form, but not as invis. So, factions is possible, just slow or costly if you buy the belts off auction.

Okay what you do is go to EC (Eastern Comonlands) and hunt orcs must be atleast lvl 8 and loot the DF Belts. You can buy them for 1-5pp a piece if your too lazy to hunt. Then find a lvl39+druid and have him/her turn you into a wolf but make sure it's in WEST FREEPORT!!!!!!!!!!! When you zone you lose wolf form. Then head into the malitia house and go onto the balcony and give the belts 1 at a time to the guard all te way back in the corner. I hope this has helped I have raised my faction very fast with this method and you must have atleast 40-50 the first time.

If you don't already have an idea for a name in your head,...
Try zooming in on the face that you chose for your ogre,then click the Random name generator until you see something that goes well with the personality you want the ogre to have. When you see something close being generated,change it to something better (change a few letters,ect)

OR..

Try using the name generator of another race for your ogre! Different races get different types of names from the generator. That's how I got my name..

Anagrog Swillheart. (mild mannered nomad type,happy-go-lucky.) ;)

For example,if you have an ogre that you want to have a "meaner" name, check the Troll generator. If you're ogre is an ogress,and you want her to have a "fancy" or "prissy" name, use the High Elf generator. Then use backspace to to make the name more "ogre-y".

Good luck...I hope this helps!

As an orge this is how I speak and it's not because I'm lazy at roleplaying, it's the fact that I dumped all my points into int and wis since we are the strongest race=) I am Gukguluk of the Bertox server and I would like to say orge shamen are not to shabby. I'm sure you have heard how to level an orge with much ease you never need to leave your own home zone to get at least 9. I also know people get stuck in a groove of how to level their own characters. So hit 9 with an orge shaman and you become independant of all.
You have sommon food and water, buffs you can sell to make a plat or 2 to save for armor or such, and that gives you all the time in the world to work on faction. But if I were to do my Shaman over again... Barbarians can wear med armor and have way better faction... I suppose.
RE: Shaman
# Dec 19 2000 at 1:40 PM Rating: Default
Hmm I have a lv 10 Ogre shaman and they are great. There is some sort of respect that comes along with being an ogre. Have a good attitude while playing him and you will get far on help from others. They are intimadating. People feel safe to have an ogre in a group, even when the group doesn't necessarily need one. I would advise you to save up your money to lv 4, then get a port to Nektolus or Lavastorm. If you land in Lavastorm, get somebody to lead you to Nektolus. This is the DE city. It is much more adept to trade skills and such. Buy a sowing kit, and kill some spiderlings. They should be easy for you. Combine every 2 spidersilks in your sowing kit to make a silk thread. Hold on to these. When your skill hits a point when you can't gain points in tailoring by doing this anymore, hunt black bears. Save their ruined pelts and low quality skins and high quality skins. Never loose a high quality bear skin! They sell for 25-30pp in EC. Go to the Neriak Foreign zone and head to the right. Go down the sloped ramp and go into the first building on your left. In the back of the building is a lady who sells patterns. combine collar patterns with a ruined pelt. Keep doing this until you reach a skill lv of 26. Sell the rest of your ruined pelts and your successful collars (unless you want to wear some armor you could always make the ruined pelts into more armor for yourself). Then put 3 silk threads into the large sowing kit. Do this with all your threads. The result is a bunch of silk cord. Combine one silk cord with a low quality bear skin to make a pouch. Sell these, you should already have backpacks that hold more. When you are out of cord and lq bear skins, go hunt bears again until lv 6. Then hunt every black bear and large spider near the newbe log. Save the all the bear skins except for the ruined pelts and combine every 2 spider silk. THis makes silk something (forgot what it was called). Put 1 and any pattern in and presto, raw silk armor, for casters and monks. Put 2 silk thingies with the pants and tunic. DO this stuff until lv 8. You should have a medium high (40)skill in tailoring. Save up those silk thingies from the spiders again, and /shout "anybody want to buy silk armor?" Charge 1pp per ac. This will make you rich! Lv6-9 monks sometimes will buy every peice you can make, a whoppin 24pp every time! Once you have a bunch of money, buy banded armor in peices. Look for deals in EC. Hunt skeletons at lv 8 and sell stacks of bone chips to Necros for 5pp each. This makes a bunch of money. Now you are lv 9, go back to oggok with a high lv char. Buy sow, summon food, light healing, and spirit of the bear. Now get another port to Nek, but pay 5pp for it. Head to EC on the path. Hunt in groups in the orc camps hunting centurions and, if you have enough group members, legionars. Sell a backpack full of deathfist slashed belts for up to 45pp to high lv chars who want to powerlv their newbe or who want to gain faction with freeport guards. Buy a good magical weapon, 1hb was the way I went so I bought a screaming mace for 60pp!!! Yes continue to bargain. If somebody won't bargain forget him. you can get good stuff for cheap if you bargain it down.

Actually,ogres aren't that stupid. Look at their stats. Their beginning INT is pretty
much tied with that of a dwarf and halfling! I met a dwarf in Qeynos Hills once that
had an INT of 60....Mine is 62,(with bracer on) and I'm just a warrior! ;)

And no,you couldn't kill an ogre in real life. Remember you don't have the stats your
character does. It's a GAME,have fun!
