would this be a good place for my level 18 cleric to level a bit or should I be looking elsewhere?
It's a great place for any class with undead-specific spells, and the zone itself has a nice xp bonus. It's my level spot of choice in the late teens, early twenties for all my alts. Skeles have few hp, don't hit too hard, just beware adds, there are very few safe places in the zone to set up camp.

Ok, I was reading on another site about a new area in Kurn's Tower. This area is 50 to 60. Any ideas if it exists or not?

I havent heard anything about that, and doubt they would do it. It would be cool though if you could go all the way to the top, past that dining room. Maybe even on top. Although I doubt that will happen with LDoN coming out.

well, I do know that Kurn's Tower is an unfinished zone, and that would be great to go to the absolute top... maybe even to even meet up with (or possibly kill???) an undead version of Kurn. oh it would be great if they would fix that hollow skull quest.

It seems like since the Legacy of Ykesha Expansion came out that Kurn's has been a little dumbed down. I still recommend it, but not for as high of levels as I used too. It used to be awesome xp from about level 13 to about level 20. Now it is still awesome, but seems more for levels 9 to 14ish. Xp slows a lot now at 14... Still a great place to hunt for those few levels though.

I will admit that I have never hunted in Kurn's before just recently, but I have taken 2 of my alts (14 necro and now 18 cleric) in here necause of their special abilities vs undead. My cleric entered here at lvl 14 and was 18 within 3 hours. I ran out of time to play, but even at 18 she was getting killer exp soloing on the upper floors and in a small group in the lower levels. Using Root and her vs undead nuke, I only had to gate once (SK furby) in the group and never solo. Like I said, I hadn't been here before the LOY expansion, but the exp still rocks as far as I can tell, and it's a lot easier than trying to get a group in PC.

Does anyone know if XP/cons are different for different classes? I know race causes XP to be different sometimes (Example: Halflings level faster and Ogres level slower - per caster's realm). I took 3 characters to Kurn's recently and saw a lot of difference in xp at the same levels. My 12 Dark Elf Necro was conning things at Light Blue that my 12 Hafling Cleric was conning at Yellow while my 16 Wood Elf Ranger was conning them at Dark Blue. Is this a fluke or simply race, or does class effect this too? Very very strange. I guess how good the zone is depends on more than just your level, cause the cleric's xp blew away the necro's xp and they were both starting at 12. (And yes, I have 2 different account, so I was conning them at the same time with 2 at a time, not camping then conning something named the same.) So maybe it wasn't nerfed with LoY, but the xp just isn't as good for SOME of my Characters as opposed to others... The Cleric XP was AWESOME. The Necro Got Awesome XP when she found high enough things to fight, and the Ranger's XP was pathetic. Fluke?

every mob has a level range that it can spawn as, so you might have just been fighting the higher level versions of the mobs when they coned yellow

Me and a mage sol'ed enitire first lv with no problem.. granted we both had aego and kei but whose counting hop up to pok and ull get it quick
So ... you successfully cleared the lower area of a mid-teens dungeon, using level 60 buffs that effectively give you unlimited hit points AND mana?
*golf clap*
*golf clap*
Agree... what a dumbass thing to say... of course you can take on kurns w/ kei and aego... and second... you weren't soloing... i seem to recall you saying you and a mage... that means you were duoing... see when two people come together its called duo... when its just one person, that's called soloing... i cleared the whole first and second floor... solo... granted i was a 14 necro with dark pact and focus death... lol

The jester is *almost* as rare as the Ancient Cyclops... and he seems to have the same habit of spawning for people who are not looking for him.
The first, and only time I have seen him, I was not looking for him. Just gathering bone chips. Since then I have tried camping him a couple times for a few hours only to have nothing. Same thing with the AC... was killing seafuries, saw the AC... but the couple times I've camped him for a few hours, nothing.

yes you would do fine
My monk was here yesterday with a full group of a 12 druid, a 12 wizard, and other assorted tanks with me being lvl 7 I did fine. All was red and I got lots of aggro, but the druid made sure I didnt die. We were at the entrance to the basement which is a great spot, just watch for the excavators' ht (they're sk's). This place is excellent xp for lower lvl ppl that are sick of the newbie area.

17 posts
thinking about bringing my monk down in the catacombs.. wondering what the deal is with it.. everyone says it's bad news bla bla bla... but the rest of the zone is too easy and i want some higher lvl mobs.. what IS down in the catacombs?
i guess ill just drop down tonight and find out... :)
i guess ill just drop down tonight and find out... :)
the catacombs are full of Sappers lesser icebones and lesser charbones with a few lower level mobs mixed in. there is also a named furbie down there. can get pretty nasty as the burynai are close together and if you are unlucky you could get harm touched by several of them (provided you are unlucky enough to get a few SK burynai) and it is a one way trip.. so be sure and have a map befor you go down there.

Kurns is a great place to level from about 11 - 19/20 the xp starts to slw down near 18/19, but can still do quite well. My brother made 10-20 as an iky war in here in about 10 hours realtime(mind you the place needs to be pretty much empty of other players for this). You can bnd in front of Kaesora ruins, and it is easy to run to the zone point inside Kurns, as you can jump down the levels if needed. As for money, mainly silver and copper, the odd gold drops, and rarely a couple pp here and there. It does all add up tho, you will have stacks of bone chips after an hour or so. I spent 4 hours(and 3 levels on my necro) in here, and came out with over 5 stacks of bone chips.
IMO, this is one of the best zones to level in when it is relatively empty of alot of players. Undead will leave you to jump anyone that come sin there agro range, so pulling can be a bit of a problem ...
The loot is horrid, the IBC is a very difficult piece to get for alot of players, I was lucky enough to get it twice in one week(my brothers beastlord was extremely happy to be given the first one) and my monk was very happy to see the second ... mind you, in 4 more weeks of being down there, I never once saw the jester spawn again :/

Could i solo the first floor by myself with a lvl 13 sk?
Very easily. I took my Iksar SK here at level 9 and could solo the entrance skeletons without buffs or anything. I was mildly twinked, but at level 13 you should be fine untwinked.

I have been soloing here since 8 as an IKS NEC. You can get about a level an hour at these levels. I started at the entrance and am now in the hidden room. I will probably be in the hidden room till 14 or so then start moving upstairs. When I get to 18 or so I am going to go camp the Jester area. I have a Monk that could use the club and my Wiz wouldn't mind the ICY wand.
This is good to know. I have a Dark Elf Necro, level 11, and I've been trying to find a good place to move onto. I don't want to hunt in Oasis or the Commons (spent too much time there with necro and all my other characters). It's good to hear that I'll be able to solo pretty good.

Been here on and off for 3 days now, a few hours each day. I now have all 4 fingers, shield of kurn and bargyn's torch but I'll be damned if that jester will even show himself! I've tried everything, clearing the area around his spawn, clearing the whole floor, clearing just the PHs and still no jester and to top it all off he doesn't always have the club so my luck is when I finally do see him he will be sans club.
The rare spawns in this place are just horrible, the cook I RARELY saw and the first four times he had no shield, heck it's identical to the shiney brass shield from crushbone stats, weight, looks and all and it's that hard to get and well the iksar berserker club is downright painful to camp. The wizard wand, haven't seen that either. Armor, I've gotten the rare piece of runescale (ringmail with a new name) and rhinohide (rawhide with a new name) and seen maybe 5 pieces of burynai hide armor, 3 pieces and 2 dupes and besides the FS off the fingered and a bunch of rusties and coppers there isn't much else.
The moral of this is if you came for one of the drops good luck, bargyn seems to be the most common but the rest are a joke, but if you came here for experience this dungeon has a nice exp modifier so good hunting.

A great way to get absolutely fabulous xp. is just go into kurns, get a group of about 6 ppl, all around lvl 17-19, then just go in a wipe everything off the face of the planet. I just did that exact strategy recently, and it got me all the way from lvl 18 to 19 in about 1 hour and a half.

I dont know what everyone is so worried bout in the basement. At lvl 20 all the Burynai con blue or green to me. Last night Myself and a fellow guildie(Hes a 18 SK and Im a 20 Monk)cleared the entire basement while looking for the fingered skellie. Couldnt get him to spawn tho =( I got HT a few times but its only for a max of about 160ish. If I wanted to I could probably clear the basement myself(I am a little twinked, no fungi though I wish i had one)
As for all you camping the Jester, good luck hes a ******* toget to spawn =)

I just got the wand. it probably took close to 20 hours of play time for me to get it(not all at once).it seems to be very rare depending upon your lvl you may be able to get the cash to buy it faster than you would be able to camp it.

I've been running around this zone for a couple days now with a somewhat twinked monk. Ive gained 3 lvls off the top floor and im 15 what lvl should i think about going deeper into the basement. After looking at the map ive been on the whole right side and almost fallen down the pit aparently but most things were blue cons. What lvl are the things near the jester.

Just got back from camping jester. I was lvl 18 and everything con'd blue to me, maybe 1 or 2 white. I would be very careful though, I had a lvl 15 necro, and another lvl 20 monk. Just remember FD is your friend. I wouldn't try it alone though, just because their are hella mobs.

You think a 29 warrior almost 30 could solo out the basement? I really want to kill the Jester, but if I'm gonna wait for 'im, I want to keep myself occupied with some fights.

You could solo the basement but them burynai or whatever they be are SK and necros and when those sk harm touch u itll hurt especially if u get your *** mobbed, watched a 42 warrior solo basement, attacked a mob and went all the way to healf health, after they HT u, u shouldt have a problem =)

i fell down into the tunnels at 13 and was constantly beign attacked by mobs, so me question is, can u only get into the tunnels by falling through the floor, or is there another entrance to get in there by the fob? i loked in a map and saw the exit in the tunnel but looking in fob i see no place to how and get out of there.

could a lvl 8-10 group come here and fight safely?
49 posts
yes, a group of 8-10's could camp the first floor fairly easily. I would suggest staying near the wall by the zone in, and have your puller pull to there.....do not venture in too far until everyone in group is in double digits though...
