Crushbone  

i have a dark elf sk. will killing the orcs here ruin my faction in neriak?

Ive seen this guy mabey 2 times so far, it shortly after you kill Darish he pops and de spawns a minute after poping, ive heard he might be for pally 2.0 , any info?

Question often asked here is Dark Elf faction and how it will hurt them if they hunt here. The faction is the Dark Elf Warrior faction and if not a DE warrior it is great to hunt here till 16 b4 hitting the bandit camps in PC. If a DE warrior you'll get hit bad on your own faction and not advisable.

Hey I have been in Crushbone a very short time but I have already gained 2 levels. The first level I spent in the Throne Room but I was with a group that was a much higher level than me. The secong one I spent in the Slave mines with a group the same level. I want to go to the Throne Room again but this time with a group nearer to my level. I am level 14 does anyone think I can servive in there with a group of 4-5 people all my level? If not what level should I be. I am open to anything and everything.

I stay in Crushbone with my lvl 14 shaman a long time, killing lots of orcs. I got many bones when i loot them.Is there any quest i can do with these bones?
Please tell me your exp.

This place is the best. Until you lose your body. Ran by a cantaurian and junped across water he runs away I figure I'm in the clear. So I start looking for my body. So I look down one side don't see anything look down another don't see my body but do see 2 legionaires and 5 centaurians charging down. I look to my choices try and fight=death, run=probable loss of body, run while looking for body=it might work. I find my body get my stuff then bam you have been hit by a centaurian for 6 points, you have been hit by a legionaire for 40 points loading please wait.

This is the best zone I have found since i've started, but if your a hight lvl you might want to try to solo the trone room! The trone roon is the best place to train, and get money. There are 2 slaver camps witch are good for getting parts for noob wood elf armour quest, ere there a camp where they are a few lego and orcals and a quest monster, and that is it. A good place to train under 18-20. Can any one tell me where i sould train now, lvl 17 ranger, dont need any group.

Anyone know what the Sarialyns Lute is used for? I'm a bard and I cannot put it in my secondary slot. I didn't see anything in the quests either.

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. Or i have got a more methodical aproach. Either way i could be just stupid or really tired but that is my idea and i am willing to set up shop on any server. e-mail me at massive_nexus_strike@YHAOO.COM if you have any ideas, you want to join (( lvl is of no importance 1-65 doesnt matter Class either warriors clerics shaman monks i am in need of warm bodies :) )) or you just want to flame about how stupid i am either way i will welcome your emails and i will try my very best to email you back .No matter what it says. More information on nexus is always welcome. E-mail me and give it a chance.



Happy hunting and good luck.

I was in Crushbone last night helping a guildie obtain a few items and I get see the following:

[Tue Sep 03 20:15:10 2002] A high-pitched, frantic keening echoes through the mountains.

For some strange reason I did't get bound in GFay (I was bound in East Freeport) so I didn't want to stay too long to see what was going on then I see this:

Del Zynal keens loudly, searching for her lost eggs.

Right outside the tunnel inside Crushbone there is this "dragon" looking thing so I con it:

Del`Zynal regards you indifferently -- what would you like your tombstone to say?

Seeing RED and not thinking I zone out.

Anyone know what this beast is or is for?

This zone used to be great and i've brought up atleast 5 characters in this zone, but now there are always about 10 twinked out pecks running around killing newbies. its truely disgusting, you can't hardly even get a group anymore...I don't think i'll bring another character up in here...

please anyone bringing a train to zone at least warn ppl. so many ppl dont and end up killin others (mainly me)

Orc Ulnas - For now these drop from Orc Scoutsmen
Orc Finger Bones - Pawns outside of Crushbone
Orc Fibulas - Best bet is slavers in slave mines
Orc Tibia - I have found these on Centurions, Slavers, and Legioneers

Good Luck

Hi all,

Im just looking for suggestions on what zones I should move on to after crushbone. Im a 16 druid right now, and crushbone is starting to get a little boring (I solo mostly, with occasional grouping, so I haven't gone near the inner castle really). Any higher level druids have suggestions? Thanks!

I've found Crushbone to be one of the best hunting spots in Faydwer for low levels, so long as you don't let any of those puny Centurions get away. My first time in there, I let one go because I didn't want to chase it too far into the zone. Well, the little butt comes running back with two Legionnaires in tow. I don't believe I need to say much more.

Anoter thing: Be careful not to fall into the water canals. Unless you can swim well and have endure breath, you probably wont make it to one of the few and far ladders out.

Crushbone and GF are the easiest place to lvl from 1-16. I went there being lvl 3 with my Vah Shir War. I had some slightly nice equip for my lvl. I had banded armor and everthing else was normal. I started at orc hill killing pawns and the occasional cent. Then i got to lvl five the i went to the outside of cb. Stayed there till lvl six then went inside CR. I first started at first brige, then to killing the cents a aroung the zone. I leved from 3-7 in just a couple hours. Then from 7 on I grouped and killed slavers and some legos till lvl 12. Then i camped TR with a large group of lvl 11-15. The next thign I knew was I was lvl 15 two days later from the day i started there.

I think people spend to much time in CB. Its a great place to lvl up to 14 or 15 but any higher is a waste. Given there is a couple of higher lvl guys up in the tower but you wouldn't get much xp from them. Its best to go somewher else. Besides most of the time there is one lvl 40-50 sitting up there anyways killing dvinn for revenage. Anyway, I will give some tips on how to camp in the Throne room, not pull from it camp it. I have sucessfully camped the throne room at lvl 10 for nearly 10 hours and left at 14. The throne room is easy to camp get full mana and stand in the hallway and pull them three at a time and gain up on one and AoE all of them. If you have a druid us harmony it will make it easier to take it. I had to retake the throne room many times. I will explain why later. First after you finally take it this gets real easy. Number one thing is don't every have someone leave or go AFK without saying anything. There will always be some idoit that runs off to town with another group member and doesn't say anything. This can led to trouble but shouldn't be to hard to make through. Second huge mistake groups make is lets med up until we pull darish. Nope wrong, your a fool if there is a spawn up and you don't want to take them. If you wait you will end up pulling him and the other 2 that will spawn soon and then the other 2 and the other 2. Pull as they spawn no delay equals constint fighting and less mana use over time. If you haveing trouble with low mana quit nuking you fool. It is a complete waste to see mages, clerics, druids, and shammy's and tanks/damage dealers all laying it on a guy. If you killed a lego in less than 2 secs conserve your mana. Don't nuke save that for a huge battle they will happen. Clerics you are healers your one heal is better than one silly DD nuke. Druids should never nuke if there is no cleric in the group. Even if there are 2 druids stay on the heal alert and DS DS DS. Also make good use of your AoE's. Never waste your mana on trying to kill a guy in 2 secs. Using them tips you should be able to camp with some lvl 10-14's.

Now first signs of a problem showing up. First kick anyone out that starts getting greedy. I have done this many times. If your camping the throne room really well and some stupid person comes along and says "we could take the tower hehe". Put the in there place and that is death. If you noitice some idoit walking into the tower kiss him good bye. Ok First I know and have taken the tower and throne room with one group but, anyone who thinks that nothing will spawn during the fight with crush or the royal guard is wrong. Everytime the throne room fell it was to this person and he died everytime and then complained that it was BS and if the healer would have healed or if you would have attacked this first and everyone here is a idoit we could have taken them. First problem with this is you will pull 2 to 3 guys from the tower and thats not including dvinn if he is there. When your destroying the three guys you pulled some wussy orc will spawn being light blue and you will hit it twice and it will run but you have these big guys to kill and he will run from the castle argoing everything outside in. Next thing you know you got 2 lego adds and the orc orcale spawns behind the table healing everything and some emmy's spawn and that when complete chaos breaks loose. The first person to died was the guy who pulled the tower. There is no way to get that argo off of him. This will kill his ass faster than anything. (sad part is it always seems to be some dumb caster with full mana thinking ass backwards.) Since it will be someone panicing they will run away from that angry mob. Wrong move right there. Instead of running to the group and slowly backing up that person runs around the group screaming help (Idoits I know). You know your groups even worse when you have a lvl 15 pally with full health being the first to run (That guy pissed me off) Now if you have a guy that ran with 4 or 5 guys behind him and made it to zone you better get ready or get moving they will come back and pull anything he ran by with them unless some group killed them at the zone.

Ok now for the great escape path or what I call it anyway. First jump out the window by the table (warning watch out for the river) and run away from the bridge and jump that small gap. Now the orcs will run out the front door of the castle run near you find out your on the other side and will run around the front path to the slavers cave. This is where you will wait or counting jumping and beat the to the entrance or when they get near jump back over and run to the entrance. Just never ever fall in the water I made that mistake before and I made one hell of a train. Since you fallin the water the slaver cave has a exit instead of the ladder. Now I did it on a slow day and the cave hade three slavers. ran out to find the train of orcs emmy legos, and crush running down the hill pulling those stupid green orcs this forced me to run around and through lego camp and around the slave pit and back through the castle wall. Since I was a druid and had my sow on I decided to make a quick pit stop and jump up the trainer hill and down to the 3 orcs spawn near the bridge and preceded to the entrance. Needless to say it was mean but extremlly hillarous to see about 20ppl on the other side saying what in the hell was that all about. Fun part is sitting on the other side with camo in the corner. Now with this done the only ppl that died where the ones in my group until the legos and everything else went back to normal. Deadly trains are from the castle don't be the person to do it. People don't like you after that.

Sorry to go on even further but I have another story or warning for everyone. This is for that stupid mage in the hole in the back corner. Look out he may con yellow and you can take him the first time but after he dies he respawns that second with his pet and argos everyone. This is deadly. That earth pet is a biatch. And you think training him to zone isn't so bad. Bad Idea after he wiped out our whole party with the cheap root nuke pet beats the crap out of you trick. your stuck there for life deal. Never ever lead him to zone. He never walks back to his spawning point he stands at the zone line. Poor newbies everytime someone would enter his pet would root and he would nuke at the zone line. needless to say no one was prepaired and couldn't exit back out to warn anyone of the danger. Death came on swift wings for 15mins or so. there must have been atleast 20-30 bodies most naked laying on the zone line. Until finaly some lvl 20 guy came and about died taking him out. Needless to say I have never wanted to kill him again. One other thing he gives really bad xp for the destruction he causes. First time I fought a NPC with a pet and never want to do it again. Dang mage's are undercons. Even doesn't mean even. Sorry for my lenthy post. Have fun and please bring some order to CB. My new char got slaughted last night by a train of dvinn. The tower should be left alone or camped by lvl 19-20s.

to all u people in cb who want to get more exp then what u make in the group will listen up.
u all new people must be wandering why people want cb belts and pads and will do anything to get it. will its beucse when u give them to this dude in the warrior guild in kalidim you get exp and some equiptment which u can sell for money. so when people ask u to trade ur cb belts 4 1pp think about what u can get with that 1 cb in kalidim.

ok one day I was at CB by myself just to get quick cash with out being killed ;) next thing I know "Lord Shin Lee comes and in his path a lot of corpses he might be lvl 40-60 because 10 40's people killed "Lord Shin Lee" and I looted it ;) I found a blue orc.....somthing it looks like a orge head and I saw a scroll what is all of this?

@ lvl 5 you should fight the pawns and low -level Centurions outside of Crushbone, then at 7 fight inside, but avoid anything higher then centurions until lvl 10.
