The Dark Elf

race logoThe Dark Elf starts off in the City of Neriak and generally hunts in Nektulos Forest during his or her formative years. Dark Elves are an evil race, and are killed on site in most places in Norrath. What is the best strategy for playing a Dark Elf? 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? Is there a way to develop enough faction to be accepted in the good cities? What are the best quests in Neriak for the beginning Dark Elf? Where are the best shops in Neriak? How should you role play your dark elf?

Dark Elves Rule!! I play a Dark Elf Necro(24) on Zek (PVP) and they are the best.Now for me I dont care about faction I kill the races that r kos to me and pc's that hail me and con white.Humans are fools wood and high elves should be beatin on and left for dead! as for gnomes and halflings feed them to the ogres and trolls and for that you get yourself a big pet!as for anyone else they would make great slaves in our great city.This is the path I follow as a drow and i find it fun and exciting and a great challenge.I dont wanna put anyone down on the race they play but this is how we r suppose to be.Use people to your advantage Norrath is ours for the taking for to look on us and laugh is a big mistake.We r an advisary not to be takin lightly.

Pickpocketing does pretty much what it says, you can steal coins or items from NPC's.

Sometimes the NPC's aggro on you, so be careful who and where you do it.

You won't really need the skill for much till you do your epic, then you have to have the skill maxed or near maxed to do it.

Since you won't start your epic till level 50, I would wait till you are approaching that level, then go into paludal caverns and pickpocket the recondite camps. You can probably tank the whole camp simultaneously at this point, so no real worries.

Building this skill is tedious to the point of considering violence against yourself, but you have to have it to do the epic.
Dark Elf Rogue

Been working on a DE Rogue for a few months now, off and on with my cleric and warrior, and have him up to 30. I have to say that the Rogue is the most fun class I've played. There is always something to do with this toon. You are either picking pockets, scouting, working on hide, sneak, and detect traps, or backstabbing some mob with a sneak attack.

With my warrior and even my cleric, I've had trouble staying awake with this game, but playing the rogue has been a great experience. At level 28 a few nights ago, I got a backstab in at 191, though most solid hits range from 80 to 110.

One thing that I am wondering however, is that even though my backstab is around 140 skill, and I have a dagger with a plus 5% backstab, I have never, and I mean never got a crit on a backstab. Does this come into play later? Both dex and agi are around 150.
Finally got a crit last night!

At level 34, I finally got a crit backstab last night of 386! Only got one, but the LDoN was winding down. What was great was that it finished the mob. I had been working on another skelly solo in the everfrost gig while the mages and pets were taking on other mobs. I finished mine, hid and backstabbed the mob to finish it off with it having around 20% health or so.

The guys said it was pretty awesome, I just "appeared" mid stab and assassinated the thing!

Awesome!

Duo with a 33 Pally last night, I got an awesome 1st strike damage against troll zombie. I knew I was headed to Gunthak, so I went to the Abysmal Sea and made about 60 Calcium Rot poisons (undead specific). I was using sneak attack, with a poisoned Blackened Acrylia Blade.

Sneak attack backstab went Crit at 362, and the poison hit for 242. That's a 604 1st Stike combo off a no-magic toon.

My buddy was using the Rodcet Nife proc on his weapon, and he hit for 224 at about the same time. So we were 828 on this mob in the first second of battle.

The night went on much like this, with me gainng a level an a half and him gaining 3 levels, as I had to step out for a bit.

A pally and rogue combo in Gunthak make really short work of the undead in this area, with pally being main tank, and me being tank when necessary, his healing and undead proc and my backstab and vs. undead poison, we killed very quick with little downtown.

Rogue Level 58 Update.
# Apr 10 2006 at 10:45 AM Rating: Decent
49 posts
Dinged 58 in Karnor's Last night. Started out the day with some poisoncrafting, got it up to 214 making Iron D.

From there did the pirate MM in butcherblock. Had an exceptionally good group and we got just over 70 bricks of plundered treasure. We were on a role till a graphics glitch for a couple of peeps killed the last 5 minutes, but still got a couple of ticks of xp.

Then it was the Plane of Nightmare. We had a PoN noob with us, a 54 SK that didn't understand the finer points of pulling in this zone. He's a good player, but until you understand where to pull to, and how to pull just one, and that if in the late 50's and low 60's with a group of 4 you need to ZONE if you get more than 2 adds, it can be a bit rough.

Unfortunately, right when we were at that point of getting the system to work smooth in this zone, our cleric lost patience and bailed and the group split up.

So with 2 ticks till ding I made my way back to Karnor's Castle, a zone I knew I could easily solo. The xp was slow, but steady and an hour and a half of solo grinding later, I got my two ticks and dinged 58.

My Mrylokar's breastplace was worth every penny in this place, as it really reduced the downtime. Though the clicky can give you some carpal tunnel with V.

Also, with adds, I was really glad I had picked up my offensive and defensive disciplines, as it allowed me to stand toe to toe with as many as 3 mobs at one time with a healing potion thrown in and still walk away with around 45% health.

Sidenote, I did get a kewl little double backstab at KC for 820 and 440, plus an Iron D at 229 and a passing slash at 70, giving me 1,559 first strike and zooming off before he touched me to the pull point.

SET UP THOSE MACROS!!!

Here is mine:

First I do a hide/sneak for position and hit the Thief's Vengeance button. Then my macro is like this:
/do (backstab)
/do (pickpocket)
/do (melee attack)
/d0 (disarm)

Hope this helps aspiring Rogues. Will keep the career of Kwiknife the DE Rogue journaled on here, hoping to help those raising new Rogues, as the good advice has been few and far between for me.
Rogue Level 58 Update.

Kwiknife is up to Level 62 now, I took some time off and came back to the game, got him a twisted shank, worked on AA's for a bit and got him a little bit better gear.

The twisted shank a/o July 4, 2006 is 40% toward the 4th Evolve.
He has 10 AA's now, 8 of which were spent in the following

Run Speed 3
Regen 2
Innate Strength 1
Combat Fury 1 (2 aa's)

Am working on 2 more aa's to get Combat Fury 2. My best non-crit backstab was 1985, my best double backstab was 2420 (adding the two together). Get backstabs over 1,000 often. With Combat Fury, have started to get quite a few crits. I plan on maxing it out, and then moving onto the PoP AA's for additional crits, and moving the AA up each level for 62-64. Crits rock.

Spent levels 60-62 in Veks and have now moved onto Bastion of Thunder. At level 60 you can score the occasional assassinations on the light blue goblins in Veks, which is super cool, its hide/sneak, thief's vengeance, DEAD.
Rogue Level 66 Update.
# Jul 18 2006 at 1:26 PM Rating: Decent

Kwik is now a Deceiver and Marauder. Level 66 with 20.5 AA's. I maxed Combat Fury, and am after Fury of the Ages. After that, I'm gonna pick up Triple Backstab.

My time is split now between BoT, Arcstone, WoS, and Dain Missions. I got him a Grandmaster's Nightfall Helm with Aug, and placed the Dain 1 aug in the second slot this past weekend. Will be working on Dain 2 this next week.

Go back and forth between pushing to 70 and sticking with AA's. If not for the upcoming level increase to 75 announced for September, I would be staying at 66 for a while and just working on AA's. I may do that anyway.

With Combat Fury 3, I am getting quite a few critical hits now. I often get backstabs between 1,000 and 2,000, and I get doubles nearly every time that on occasion total over 2,500.

In primary I have a Death's Maw Dagger, and in secondary I have the 5/6 verson of that evolving item at 35% toward level 6. BoT is an excellent place to evolve items, I found out. I spent a few hours there last night in a good group and put that dagger through 40% of an evolve (went from 4/6 95% to 5/6 35%), as well as getting 3 AA's.

Also picked up the Rogue's Ploy Tome from the DoN merchant, but have had limited success with this tome working. It seemed to work 50% of the time in BoT, and was perfection in Veksar Nobles area, however in Arcstone, they really didn't seem to be that impressed with it.

I picked up EQPixie, and have been monitoring my DPS. When I last ran it, I only had Combat Fury 2, and the evolving dagger was a 4/6. Without haste, my DPS was around 110, with haste (level 65 potion) it bumped up to 140, using a deadly precision or duelist discipline gave me the EXACT SAME dps consecutively at +/- 170 through 3 different tests.

Facing the mob with haste I got about 110 no disc. That's all I've had time to test. These tests were run on the Veksar Nobles. When I moved to Arcstone Fallen Spirits and Champions the DPS went down about 10-15 across the board.
Rogue Level 70 Update.
# Sep 13 2006 at 11:46 AM Rating: Decent
49 posts
Finally made 70 just 6 weeks before the new expansion comes out with a level increase to 75. Insert Explitive here ________.

Also recently got Kwik into a Raiding guild and have been on a few DON, MPG, and Undershore area Raids. Most of Kwik's gear ATM is a mix of Time, Arcstone/Relic quest, and GM gear with several DON and MM augs. He has an unbuffed HP of around 7,200 and AC around 1850 with ATK currently capped at 1649 till I acquire AA to increase stat caps or level up with TSS.

Built up about 80 AA, focusing at first on defensive AA then moving on to the AA that increased crit percentage and crit damage. As AA plans do, mine has changed a bit as I went on.

List so far:

Natural Durability 3
Combat Agility 3
Physical Enhancement
Planar Power 2
Fury of the Ages 3
Veteran's Wrath 2
Shroud of Stealth <<<<<<Must have AA, if had to do over again, would have nabbed this first.

As of 9/13/2006 I've turned in all signets at RSS for anguish gimp access and have completed one Raid trial. Next on the list is do the missions for ToB access and complete the MPG raid trials, or gimp in some night and loot a seal for full Anguish access.

The Open raids on the Quellious server are a MUST if you are not already set up with a good raiding guild. They helped me add about 1,500 HP to Kwiknife over a couple of months. Open Time Raids are currently being held on Saturday nights, with sometimes an early raid about 5pm but most always a midnight raid starting at 11pm Central Standard Time. Ask in general chat about specifics, it changes a bit from week to week, but you can get on a list to gimp in to the open Time Raid if your toon isn't flagged already. Must be 65+. Only a certain number of gimps can be in zone at a time, and it operates on a percentage of gimp vs non-gimp, I believe no more than 15% of the Raid force can be gimps at any one time.

what's the best class to choose for PvP when you're a DE?
RE: newbie question
# Dec 27 2005 at 11:07 AM Rating: Decent
Well this topic can be a matter of debate, but I am a Necromancer fanatic when it comes to Dark Elves. The fact that they have the pet and tap spells early make this one of the more soloable classes, which means they fare better in one on one combat such as PvP. But I would have to say something with a pet, or just go with a warrior and knock people on the head repeatedly, but watch the root :P (Just my opinion)

Out of all the evil races, Dark Elves probably have the highest number of character classes to choose from. And easily the best variety.

They can be any pure caster class (Wizard, Necromancer, Magician and Enchanter). They're also the only evil race who can be a Cleric. In spite of their decidedly cerebral nature, they can also be two of the tank classes (Warrior and Shadowknight). And they can be rogues as well. Dark Elves are advantaged at the outset with their innate hiding abilities, good starting intelligence and agility, as well as having the best night vision on Norrath.

Calcified bones of various sorts also drop off the skeletons in the Toxxulia Forest (especially the Paineel end). Of course you will have to watch out for the wandering Erudite Ambassador - and other stuff to which you may be KoS. For the record, we have had better luck in Toxxulia than in the Utricle (or anywhere else in Nektulos Forest) but we may have just had a good day ... :)

Diety is determined by class & Innoruuk I think is avail for all classes. As for Faction Rogue, Necro, Shadow Knight Dark Elves have the worst faction in the game next to Iksars. Faction can be reduced by killing X faction mobs located in newbie zones, Halflings in Neriak's Forest, Orcs Freeport, Kobolds in Swamp and Tox, gnolls in Qeynos aka sonyeQ. Halas has no faction giving mobs so it's turning in gnoll fangs using Barbarian Illusion potions or spells.

Innoruuk unlike enchanters and stuff you are a respected member of the darkelf society so you are just as evil as any necromancer or shadowknight so u have only the choice to choose innoruuk.

Dark Elfs come to be some of the best warriors in the game in my opinion. The have natural high agil, dex, and int, Dex so they porc more on weapons, Agility so its harder for mobs to hit them and Int so they learn there skill at a far higher rate than other classes do. So those saying that just because of str and stamina they are not good tanks because in my opinion ac is the most important fact and darkelfs have a large atvantage over other classes in that fact due to agility. Good luck and good hunting

I agree, I loved my little DE warrior. If only I could afford to play eq again. With our high intelligence we learn our weapon skills fast. I still remember when I was lvl 45 and haven't used any of my other weapon skills except my 1hslash. I managed to get some weapons and raise my skills pretty quickly. Only problem is we have low str, but can fix that with gear, however you'll mostly likely be working on your hp/ac rather than your str. At lvl 60 my str still wasn't even at 200 yet unbuffed.
I don't remember what my hp/ac was then. But now thanks to AA's we don't have to worry too much about our stats. And I plan to max those out if I ever get back into EQ, sigh.

Look to the left collum and scroll down to bestiary then the sub section by faction.
As for KOS zones your pretty much KOS everywhere and tolerated in others i.e. oggok. Freeport militia is ok but still dangerous.
You can kill in CB if not a warrior however i would suggest PC or Kurn's tower, Shar Vhal is save for you.
Once you have a good idea where guards are you'll be fine, most newbie zones don't have wandering guards like Nektulos forrest.
When you con a mob, ready to attack or threatining don't aproach, dubious or above and your ok.

That is great advice if you are non-twinked. If you're twinked, you can go from the tutorial (10 or 11) to Kurns till level 14, then to PC till level 22, then to the easy side of echo (through the fake wall by the soulbinder in SH).

You can level pretty fast in echo low with a group. If its a little tough you can try the Netherbian Lair from 22-25.

Probably leave Echo low at around 28-30.

Then I would head to Gunthak till level 36 or so.

City of Mist with a group till level 45.

Then try to Gimp in at Veksar with a group (you don't have to literally gimp into veksar but to be effective you'll need to have a good group).

You can move from the Goblins till about level 50 to the undead till level 55 or so to the Nobles camp until you can get into Bot, which is I think level 62.

At 62 you can do okay with a group in BoT, or with a good group even WoS, but you CANNOT tank WoS till upper 60's, IMHO, and then I would suggest having defensive AA's before trying it. In the later levels you can try Arcstone or at 65 Muramite Proving Grounds, at 69 go to Riftseeker's Sanctum.

That will cover the best xp and quickest leveling I know of with current hotzones a/o 7/20/2006.

After all that you can actually start playing the game :-]

Kurns tower is excellent until level 20. You will also collect enough bone chips for pets to last you a very long time. I collected over 300 bone chips while levelling there.

The Overthere is also a good place to go once you are lvl 16 or 17, It will take a while but if you fight the creatures that con yellow to you then it should not take to long.

I heard since Dark elves basically 'suck hardcore' (I'm quoting someone) at mellee skills initially due to their laughable strength and stamina, they get an experience bonus. Which would really make sense, since the trolls and ogres get an experience penalty. But is it true? I really don't feel like skimming through 10 pages of posts to see if this was already discussed =P If so, does anyone know a reliable website that can confirm it? I'm trying to get confirmation. I'm pretty sure dark elven warriors get a bonus..but I don't know about the SKs.

I believe this website is out of date. Back in the Kunark and EQ Classic days, you could get a penalty or bonus on experience depending on your race/class/deity choice. SOE/Verant has fixed that long ago. Now it only depends on races. All races have NO penalties or bonuses, with the exception of the Halflings, who get a 10% bonus I believe, and the Ogres, who get a 15% penalty, and the Trolls and Iksar, who both get a 20% penalty.

Bah.. Anyways, I just created a dark elf cleric. And before you get done reading this next sentence, you will call me crazy.. and yes, I am. I am right now right outside Kelethin.. I'm actually right in the middle of the 'Druid circle' in the n00b area. I plan on leveling until 9 or so, then I plan on going to Crushbone and killing more orcs there.. Eventually, I'll be grouping in the Throne room in Crushbone. From there, I will go to Paluadal Caverns until level 25-26, from there I will make my way to HighHold Keep. If I have to, I will kill the orcs outside, so I can get into the basement and slay some goblins. Then I will make my way to the Overthere. Then I'll get bored with OT just like I did with my main chara, who is only lvl 33. It sucks, Im not even half way to 40, and I cant stand leveling with my main anymore because of the EXTREMELY boring SF ramp in OT. Not to mention it the BIGGEST pain in the ass to find a decent group that actually sticks around for more than half a level, or 2 and a half yellow bubbles. But anyway, back on topic. How, do you guys think, will the faction hits affect my character? I'm not worried about my home town, as I plan on making this dark elf a neutral character.. In fact, I wouldnt mind making him KoS to all the rest of the dark elves. Basically I want to be able to walk and/or buy in Kelethin and Kaladim. I know it will take awhile, but once again, I dont care. What you all think?

Tenolein you idiot, orcs are allied with dark elves. Actually you need to kill a lot to actually get any real faction hits in neriak, but still, let them live and slaughter elves to their hearts content.

I tend to agree. I go to Blackburrow instead to get Qeyons faction without any faction hits at home until 12 lvl and then I will go to Kurn's Tower until 16 after which I go to PC (I can get a lot of bone chips in Kurn's Tower and I am a necro)

Well, for some of us nutcases, playing with faction is a blast. My iksar shaman is Ally to guards/merchants/etc. in Highkeep, dubious in Misty thicket/rivervale, to the guards, and can walk thru freeport east and west.

Now, you might wonder, why did I tell you this, as these are not the places you asked about?

Simple, to demonstrate a point. Killing orcs in Gfay/crushbone, will help with SOME of your kelethin factions. However, be aware that there are various mobs throughout the city, that are on different factions. The guards in Highkeep love my Iksar. The bard outside the keep entry attacks him.

The guards in freeport like my iksar, the merchants won't sell to him, and some guy inside the bar right inside the west gate attacks every time I come within range.

BTW, to get faction in Highkeep, you probably will have to kill orcs. However, you can also buy orc scalps/goblin ears and turn them in to the approriate guard captains, to speed the process along. For the scalps, you need to be dubious (wolf form or illusion:human helps with this). To turn in to the captain INSide the keep (goblin ears) you must be about halfway through the dubious range, otherwise he just takes the ears and insults you.

Also, note that the orc scalps are the SAME ONES that drop in crushbone and on orc hill (not the pawn scalps though), so start saving/buying them when you are at this stage, it will speed the next stage up.

Also, for kaladim faction, save the crushbone belts/pads and once you get faction to dubious (with wolfform) you can turn these in for fairly big faction hits. About 5 backpacks full took one of my characters from apprehensive to ally.

Anyway, some folks will tell you that factioning is a waste of time, since it doesn't mean much on Luclin/PoP, but personally, I find it fun, and if you do as well, enjoy.

Lastly, you might want to try luclin for your main. I think Marus Saru is where people go at your level. Luclin has really replaced Kunark as the popular spot to levelfrom 16-46 or so.

Ah...the sweet smell of victory in the morning, and not to just dump the loot.

"I dont trade with the likes of you!"

WHAT?!?

I know, I know...Not everybody likes Dark Elf necromancer who worships Innoruuk, but hey...profit is profit. Is there anyway to get the shopkeepers to want to trade, or am I doomed to keep going back to Neriak to dump of loot?

At the moment I'm shightseeing the Estate of Unrest not far from Dagnor's Cauldron. The only way I can see to get food, water and sell the items people have..eh...given to me is to go to Butcherblock Mountains. Then I can use the PoK trick to get back to Neriak. But there HAS to be an easerier way...doesn't it?!?

Aye, PoK shopkeepers sell to everyone no matter what race you are. Same goes for some Luclin shopkeepers in shadowhaven and sharval. If I remember correctly you can buy some food and water inside the old East commonland tunnel where shady is. Shady himself doesn't sell food or water but the merchants around him might. Hope this helps!

Not to mention Freeport -- you are dubious to the guards, so you can wander most of the East and West zones if you just read carefully (avoid the Mage/Wiz/Chanter guild and Hogcaller's Inn in WFP, and the slums and Seafarer's Roost in EFP and you'll be OK). You can easily do the Rebby and Janam note quests to get your faction up with the merchants, and if youre really psychotic like I am, you can bribe Fabian in the Grub n' Grog tavern in EFP and get faction with the bards and paladins in NFP -- much easier than trying to do the Tumpy Tonics for Groflah quest, but expect to blow 300-400 pp on it... All to be able to bank. And that still doesn't help you out with the cleric guild in NFP -- but it doesn't kill your Dismal Rage faction, either. Myself, I could care less about Dismal Rage. If I need spells or a trainer, there's good old Neriak or PoK, or even Shadowhaven. The Dismal Rage are a bunch of wannabes who must be beaten senseless at all costs -- which is how I wound up a member of the Knights of Truth, complete with my Longsword of Marr I can't use and my Testimony I was *supposed* to get by killing Sir Lindeal, NOT by turning in the tokens of generosity, bravery, and truth... I'm a really horrible SK.
Regardless, if you set aside a couple of hours, you can have your merchant faction decent enough for Freeport to be a worthwhile stop. Also, there is always Toxdil, the DE merchant in the hidden tunnel to the right of the main gate in WFP (facing outside of town). He cons warmly to all DEs, so he makes an excellent selling point for all those rat tails from lv 1 to 3.
If you want your faction a little quicker, Shadowhaven is a good way to go, but nothing beats PoK, Shar Vahl, or the Bazaar -- no faction work needed.

The Grobb, now called Gukta has been taken over by the frogs and we are kos there. Oggok which lies in the ferrott is run by Ogers. We're safe there. We aren't kos in freeport but they are some things in freeport that will kill us if we run to close to them. The monk guild and the caster guild. Theres a dwarf and a highelf in the inn that are kos to us and the north freeport guards start out kos to us unless we don't raise faction with them. We are safe from guards in east commons, east freeport and west freeport. They are on the freeport milita and considered "evil" to others. I wouldn't suggest going to Qeynos untill you kill a few gnolls. Also watch out for druids in ec and wc. In east commons there are two druids who stand on a hill and will try and kill us evil races if we wander to close to them. The moon will most likely be your safest place to hunt. We're not kos in Shadowhaven or Shar val. You should hunt in pauladal caverns. Everyone goes there. Hope this helps.

Can be worth it though... I just had a spell researched for the price of Quill and Parchment that would have cost me 50K in the Bazaar... hehe /rude @ spell-farmers.

It's called an Epic Quest because, just like Epic Poems, it's really long, dull, and hard to get through without considering suicide at least twice.

There's a ton of sites on the net that give a precise walk-through, but here's the super-basic steps:

Go camp Lord Begurgle in Lake Rathetear and take his crown.
Give crown to Schmendrick Lavawalker standing on hill, watch him get his butt kicked by a girl. Watch fire spirit fly up.
Kick its butt before the girl does, and dont let her kick your butt either.
Take other crown from fire spirit and give it to the girl.

Go to Sol A and camp Lord Gimblebrox for his Signet ring. Take all the stuff you've gathered so far and head over to Timm Deep and turn it in at the inn there.

Go get the Bloodsoaked Plasmatic Priest's robe from the Temple of Sol Ro.
Turn that in in Timm Deep again.

Go kill Ixiblat Fer in Burning Woods and get his scepter.

Go kil Overking Bathezid in Chardok and take his singed scroll.

Go kill a lot of things in Skyfire Mountians for a very long time until you gather 4 Pearlescent Fragments.

They seem to drop about once every 4th Thursday if the moon is in Capricorn, the Sun is in Scorpio and Alpha Centauri is in ascendancy.

Go turn the sceptre and scroll in in Timm Deep.

Go talk to Zordakilicus Ragefire in SolB.

Go talk to Warder Celia in Skyfire. Get box, insert Fragments, push button.

Spawn Zordakilicus Ragefire, human version.
Kill Zordakilicus Ragefire, human version.
Spawn Zordakilicus Ragefire, dragon version.
Kill Zordakilicus Ragefire, dragon version.
Don't wipe.
Take heart.

Combine in box with pearl.

Take to Timm Deep and combine with all the other crap you've earned from this so far.

Turn-in/combine as appropriate.

Get Water Sprinkler of Nem Ankh.

Failing a few of these stages at crucial moments requires you to start the quest over from the very beginning.

I have never heard of there being a pentalty for having TO low of str. I have a wood elf warrior and just let me say she was a @#%^!!!! But I hit just as hard as every one else did (at lower lvls but then again at higher ones seems like every one else got better weapons than I had) so I would say no penalty for low str. Either way getting eq that will add 5 str to your stats thats called cheap!!

Paludal Caverns is a popular choice -- I took my DE necro in there (I don't like typing the whole thing out :-P ) at about 7 and he's still in there at 17. There's just always something to kill -- but make sure you don't go in through Shadowhaven. Have someone show you the way through Shadeweaver's Thicket into PC. The mobs there range from lv 6 to 17 or so. At 10 I recommend Sensate Reishi Juveniles.

#Nexuskiller, Posted: Feb 25 2003 at 1:30 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Let me tell you about an idea i had one day. I was running through Grater faydark and i had accedently attacked a nexus at the wizzy spires. Needless to say that i was killed Instantly. I was extreamly mad because i lost my exp. Through my hatered i studied the creature and i devised the most extravagant scheme ever. I was wondering if my fellow Citizens of norrath would aid me. Darkies and Lighties come together in a mass horde to take one down. "What's in it for me" a person might ask. Well i think that not only the feeling you get from uniting with all of the inhabitants of norrath to squash a common evil but a great possibilty of an uber pay off and Extream exp or maybe nothing just a cold hard defeat.I am not really sure if they drop anything or if they even give exp.They are most likely the least killed Npc in the game. I have heard of one or two being killed but to my knowlage no loot has ever been identified. There are only a couple of reasons why i have not been able to find the loot items either 1. The uber guild who took one down came up with an awsome item that they dont want to get nerfed because of 1000000 crying lowbies saying its too powerfull so they did not add it to new item lists 2. None of them have ever been killed 3. Normal Loot for lvl of mob 4. No loot :( Now i am not really sure yet of the master plan but i am thinking along the lines of a massive head on attack group attack at random with no aperant stratagey.A person could even make a mule char and lvl to 5 or 6 toe just for this battle.Toe to Toe with the Unchecked Evil of the world.

I'm a level 50 DE cleric, for leveling you should start off levels...
1-5 at the newbie log in nektulos
6-8 at the 4 skeleton monolith near EC
9-11 in EC hunting roamers or orcs
12-14 in NRO killing dervs
15-20 in oasis doing whatever
21-29 in Lake Of Ill Omen fighting sarnaks
30-39 in The Overthere (or in solesk B)
40-46 in The Dreadlands by karnor's
47+ go wherever... im not too sure, ive been in karnors for a while goin to sebilis soon... cool thing about karnor's castle is we aren't KoS in front as long as you stick to the back for fighting you wont lose faction, drops are pretty good too, some of the common things they drop sell for like 400pp to vendors.

Agree in almost everything but LOIO place. DONT touch Lake of Ill Omen pease, exp sux and you can go to Paludals at lvl 18 (not 20, even being 17) till yo get lvl 25 or 26, then go to High Keep (going from WC to Kithikor - High pass hold - HK) exp really rocks in both places. When you hit lvl 30 or 31 (32 if you want) go to OT. It kinda sux too but there is not any other place better than this one. You can be weeks hunting at LOIO and just days being at Paludals and HK, there is a big difference.

I've leveled in OT with all of my Dark characters. I found a spot this weekend that I really enjoyed, got great xp, with little worry of dying. I have a 31 Wiz, and went there with a 30 SK to Echo Caverns and fought the needlites. Loot not that exciting except when the Queen pops. She pop'd 3 times in a little over an hour or so. Between killing the Needlite room, we would kill the boglins. Easy xp, and you get the dungeon bonus, and not as boring as SF Ramp.

High hold keep is also a great exp place to go to between lvls 20-29 and if you don't get bored, you can stay there fighting goblins untill lvl 40. I breezed through the hell levels in High Hold. SolA (soulseek eye) also another great zone, and the fire gobbies can drop decent loot. Many people seem to forget the great dungeons in antonica that gave great exp beacuse they are all hooked on PC in Luclin. I also fought in the overthere between lvls 29-45. Then went to SolB.(nagafen's Lair) untill about lvl 55, then hunted in various places. Charissis,(aka, howling stones) and the hole are great exp zones for those lvl 50+ but for those zones, you might need to bring your own group and specially a evacer. You'll also need a key for Charissis but you'll lose your kc faction and OT outpost faction if you hunt there. Hope this helps :)

Heh, I have a slightly different progression... This works nicely for SKs and warrs, possibly necros.
Lv 1-3: West Freeport "kiddie pool" -- rats at 1-2, everything else from 2-3. If you can make it to PoK along the way, beg a HoS from a kindly shammy if it's an option.
Lv 4-6: Bears in EC. You can pretty much stomp a black bear at lv 5 anyway, but throw on the buffs and they don't stand a chance. The great thing about Harnessing of Spirit is that the DEX buff portion helps you raise your melee skills, as opposed to conventional "porcupine" power-levelling, where you don't do jack other than stand there and drool on yourself while things die.
Lv 6-17: Shadeweaver's Thicket side of Paludal Caverns. Start with Sensate Reishi sprouts and just keep working your way up. Grab a partner if you can find one -- either that or a LOT of bandages. Avoid the fiends, and don't try to cross over to the Shadowhaven side from here unless you can invis yourself.
Lv 18-24: Hollowshade Moor side of Paludal Caverns. I hate bandit camps with a passion -- too many noobs, not enough attention span, about 8 out of 10 times. And that's just the camp cleric. If you want to experience unabashed humility, by all means, take the Shadowhaven entrance and join C1 or C2, and time how long it takes before you get killed either in a group or waiting in line at the entrance to get in a group. All sorts of shenanigans go on in here -- trains of all shapes and sizes. Beware. So... Hollowshade side. Shiknars and Ancient Sensate Reishis are great xp. You can even kill Reishicyben if you happen to run across him, and he drops some cool newbie loot.

After 24, I'm pretty much lost. My main is only 26, and most of that came from a combination of Sol A, OT, LOIO (sucks!!!), East Karana, Warslik's Woods, and Netherbian Lair. WW was a power trip for me -- the first giants I ever got to kick the crap out of were there. Regardless, I plan on doing HHK to mid-30's and then OT. Guards in NL also work, since that zone has the same xp bonus as PC... But bring friends. Heh. And look out for Netherbian Drones if you're not the fear-kiting type. They hurt. A lot. Mild undercon for their damage output.

Well, that's my 2 cp. Hope this helps someone out there... Heh. Happy hunting!

You might try the Treants (with a group) in SK and EK. They can be tough, but they've got a good amount of coin drop and, well, you're evil anyway, so who cares what druids think of you?

Also, as you approach the 30s, and into the low 30s, the Druid Ring in WC is a good place to sit and pull "a druid"s. The loot isnt exceptional, but the XP is nice, its a usually open camp and, best of all, you're serving the Powers of Darkness by removing a few of these tree-huggers from the populace.

Try hunting in Oasis untill you get to lvl 20. Or try for a derv group in Nro. As a Rogue you'll probably want to try and get groups as much as possible so you can work up that backstab. Hope this helps :)

Iksar faction

Sooo... being a DE necro and all, I want to hunt in Kurn's Tower in a couple of lvls and collect loads of bone chips. Only problem is, I don't wanna have to run all the way back to the OT docks to bank. I know I'm KOS to the Iksar guards, and they're so much all over the place in the city that it's impossible to avoid them, so when I was actually in Cabilis I didn't dare drop invis long enough to con any other factions. Is it possible for me to get my faction up with the guards before lvl 15 or so, and if so, is it worth it?

Thanks,

If your only goal is to collect bone chips and then easily bank it, I would suggest you visit Paineel instead, as the "yard" there has many wandering skeletons and I am sure the weak Erudites would let you visit their bank with a minimum of effort (just kill a lot of Kobolds). We Iksar, on the other hand, are filled with different factions, many opposing, and though it is possible for softskins to raise faction with the city enough to walk in relative safety, it is an extremely long and painful process, and one you might not wish to pursue.

Just a Tip for noobs
# Oct 19 2002 at 6:08 PM Rating: Good
newbie dark elfs should know where to go, so here....
dont go near noobie log if you are a necro under level 5 :)
dont go near that lavastorm mountains zone on the eastest side...there are too many undeads that will eat you alive :P
there are ROCK guardians somewhere near the lavastorm eastest way, but they are not too common to find easily :)
Dont go near the wizzie spires too far in because you will get rooted by the chanter mobs and nuked to death :(
you should be able to level 15 with those mobs near the wizzie spires but not solo if you are a bad solo class :P lol
you should not really have any trouble there under ten :)
but you prolly know you die under ten you stil have all your equipment on :P :P :P
hopefully you will get this, lol
bye bye all!!!

Some more tips if you want to improve your faction with certain cities.

1. Go to East and West commons after level 7 or so and kill AS MANY ORCS AS POSSIBLE, and you will be able to go into Freeport.

2. Around level 16 or 17 go to High Pass and kill AS MANY ORCS AS POSSIBLE, and you will be able to go into High Keep.

3. You can travel to Kunark and the Lake of Ill Omen and kill Sarnaks and the Explorers if you want to improve faction with Cabilis, though its not a very happening town.

WARNING: Even though your faction is good with SOME of the citizens of these towns, doesn't necassarily mean that its good with EVERYONE in these towns. Con every NPC you see. I've been killed in all 3 cities listed above even though 90% of the city was dubious to me. THere is always that one NPC that still don't like you, no matter how many freaking Orcs you kill. :)

Or one can embrace that which is ours and that is the philosophy of hate. I got to a point that I said forget trying to please the lesser races even if it means having to make a journey to bank or sell. You can often find others who will do these things for you after all you simply need to view them as a means to an end. Don't be prejudice just hate everyone equally.

Dark Elf faction with Norrath
# Oct 19 2002 at 5:58 PM Rating: Excellent
The faction being a dark elf can be changed but only if you want to be Dubious/KOS to your home town :) you just go to CB and kill the orcs, or D`vinn and the emporor for the good faction hits, then when you want to get back into your home land you have to kill the wood elf slaves...WOOD elf slaves, not elven high elf ones. That will screw up faction with other things being a DE :) believe me, i have 31 rouge DE and 17 mage DE :P

[Purple] Bah!!!Smiley: bah to much work. Look go out kill and have fun. faction, bah if you worry about factions you will never get anywhere as far as home factions is concerned. if by chance you mess it up it can be repaired. just know this, Dark elfs are evil! Bad to the bone! so, conduct yourself that way. when you are alone soloing.
But; when you group and need allies, make allies for time being. dark elf are the evil incarnate!!and, even though you can raise your factions. you will never really be trusted anywhere except among other evil races. and even those races you don't trust too much because, given a cause they will try and slay you to.So; go forth kick butt and have funSmiley: boozing

I have tried twice to beat the coward on Yelek's second quest. I tried at 4th level, then again at 5th level. Both times I have gotten the crap beat out of me and had to start over completely because I had to turn in my no drop short sword. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what level I should get to before I try this again? Any tips on how to beat this guy. I know this may be a no-brainer, but I just can't seem to see it. Frustrated.

I have a lvl 11 Dark Elf warrior, and I had a problem with that quest too. What I did (after I started again lol) was I was fighting with 1h slashing and thats what your weapon that you hand over is. So buy a rusted sword or something, and just use it after you give the other guy your start weapon for the quest. Also lvl kick up a bit before the fight. It will really help. And you can have help from other players as far as I know. Even if you don't do the quest it's not that much of a loss. All you get is a crappy two handed sword that you can't sell or drop. But just make sure you get the kill, Good Luck!

do the quest its the best armor you can have until your character gets stronger. keep in mind your sk armor will buff all attributes and increase HP as well as AC.SK armor only really works when you have all pieces in place. Bronze Armor has better AC, but no str, sta, dex, agi, int,wis and hp buffs the SK armor do and you will find it useful for quite a few lvl, before you think about improving on it. keep in mind bronze armor is heavy which means by wearing it you are slowed in you running and agi, dex,and sta. these stats are important during a fight.the [Purple]lighter you are the quicker you are. higher sta means staying power for the the fight. str plays a roll in damage per hit. so with all of this, ask yourself should you do the Quest and benefit from it? or should you use some armor that is probably to heavy for your character at the monment like bronze. and lose out on all the benifits the SK armor can give. Too me it was simple go for the SK armor. by the way i had that armor all the way up to lvl 50 before i changed it for better stuff that gave better ac as well attributes buffsSmiley: smile
