The Warrens

Lord, yes! With a solid party like that, you will have no problems at all. (go to the map from EQAtlas to understand the following suggestions) I would suggest trying out the kitchen first, to pick up Smithy and Cook. Smithy drops a decent little hammer. Then, once you are accustomed to the area, move to the dungeon. There, you can beat up on pitfighters, the Jailkeeper, the Trainer, and when he finally spawns, the Packmaster. The packmaster has a very annoying placekeeper, a diseased rat, which will aggro on you no matter what your level is, but is pretty pathetic. Your group is high enough already to avoid getting jumped on by most things here.

When you are feeling really good about yourselves, move on down to the next cool area, the prince room. As well composed as your party is, you could probably go straight there, but I still think you should ease in by testing out the above-mentioned areas first. To do the Prince room, you want to clear out the mobs that spawn in the archways you will see first. Usually, there are 3 dangerous ones at any given time. Once they are clear, you will have about 10 minutes, tops, to clear out the two dangerous things left in front of the Prince, himself.

You need all this stuff cleared before tackling the Prince because the last thing you need is for more mobs to jump you while you are fighting him. The Prince will always have two henchmen, unless you've cleared them while waiting for him to spawn. Some people will recommend pulling the Prince and his two henchmen out, but I think that is a mistake. Sometimes, more mobs will pop while you are pulling them out to your usual fighting area, and that is just annoying. Instead, fight him right where he stands. Be warned, he will smack the first person that he attacks with a 181 pt Harm Touch. Not pleasant.

The bad news is, unless you are lucky, his loot SUCKS. Thankfully, his henchmen almost always have good stuff.

You will get to level 21 here, no prob, then start to get bored with all the greens. Time for the King room, then :) You will find plenty to fight there. Also, you have the Bat Lord, Huntsman, and Bear Paw past the King room. Don't go for the Mugglewump, though. He is a bit beyond you. A lvl 35 shaman can solo him, but I wouldn't care to try it with much lower than that.

Well, the mischievous batlings are not a very good example...they are WAY underconned, for one. However, the other creatures in the zone at that level are not, and are suitable challenges at your level. Unfortunately, however, the Warrens is a difficult zone to solo except at higher levels.

At your level, you are likely going to need a group. The mobs you need to kill are often grouped together, and without a group to help break up the spawn, you're gonna get waxed.

Try killing the batlings once they're LOW blue to you. Be very careful, however, because I've died to a mob of them at 34th level. I inadvertently sat down in the midst of about five of them. Quickly aggro'd on me. I nearly made it to zone before the last nuke killed me...lol

There are approximately 300,000 people at the last count I saw, that play Everquest. Most likely someone who has read on of your stories liked the name and is using it. Happens a lot in Everquest. I've seen names that come from Tolkien's work, CS Lewis, Marion Zimmer Bradley, you name the fantasy/science fiction author, chances are there's at least one character on every server using one of those authors' character names. Then again, I once submitted a story to a magazine Kristine Kathryn Rusch was editing and she used my name (real life name, which is rarely seen) in a book for one of her characters. She didn't accept my story, but that's ok. Consider it flattery. I do, especially since Rusch is one of my favorite authors.

First off, 16 isn' too high, not by a long shot. You will find PLENTY of blue kobolds (probably more than you'd like...) and the named ones will /con even or higher.

Second, getting there is a piece of cake. Just run straight down the middle of the entry arch to the Paineel newbie area; the skelly guards to the right and left have a TINY aggro range (as has been noted) and they are really the only danger. ust DON'T STOP while running through, or they'll toast ya quick.

As a caster, you have the added benefit of binding yourself in the entry room shared by The Warrens and The Hole (aka The Pool Room). Or, bind in Erudin and gate back to sell all of your bronze weaps.

Hope this helps...

Basically, if you kill something that gives you no experience, you get none of the special loot or magic items, and after the faction messages you get something like "This was a trivial encounter for your party." You still get non-magical items (coin, meat, beer, etc.) off of greenies.

I've been hunting here a lot with my teenage necro. It's a great dungeon, and most of the time on my server it's either empty or has under 5 people in it. Once in a while some higher level people come in to kill time (and get Paineel / Erudin faction) before a Hole raid (or during CR - been there, got the T-shirt LOL). Loot rules notwithstanding, I've seen a couple of negative things:

- High level people who try to bully low level people into giving them their loot, as in "I healed you and you got exp, let me loot the Prince or I'll petition". I'm not saying don't cooperate - just don't be rude about it.

- Faction hunters who trash everything in the zone, ignoring the people who actually get experience and who just worked their butts off breaking up a hard spawn. (If I'm after faction with my high-level ranger, I buff and snare for people instead of stealing their kills.)

Hopefully items required for trade skills will remain lootable in SoL :)

yea the warrens can be boof hunting till 30

u will have a good combo for this zone

hmm try camping near the smithy/foodmaster area
ull mostly be getting low named and a couple higher normal mobs

I looted one last night also, was wondering the same thing. Anyoneout there heard anything about this item? Its not listed on any of the quest sites that I know of.

When my partner and I went through Paineel to get to the Warrens earlier this week we were forced to use Invisibilty to Undead because the newbie guards conned "ready to attack". Having read about them I was well aware that their being green was misleading. Noclin was also "ready to attack" but he didn't seem inclined to bother us since we were quite red to him.

My parter is a 21st level agnostic High Elf Enchanter and she too was KOS to the guards. We had no trouble dashing across the newbie area to the tunnel leading down to the Warrens and the Hole. My partner also had no trouble doing the Azzar's Dreadful Hat quest using just her Erudite illusion.

Once inside the Warrens we proceeded invisibly to the cave outside the Cave Bat Lord's spawn point. We probably died twice down there (though never while fighting the Cave Bat Lord -- once to a green swarm and once to the Mighty Bear Paw and his Greenie Horde) and we had no trouble getting back to our corpses invisibly. We had bound outside the Warrens because we weren't sure how aggressive the green kobolds would be to us while "naked".

I fought in Warrens from lvl 5-12, which raised my Heretic faction from scowling ready to attack (i am an erudite wizard following Solusek Ro) to amiably with the skeleton guards and the merchants of paineel. Along the way I turned in loads of kobald molars in Erud for ringmail, which says it lowers Heretic faction, but didn't really have a problem with big faction hits from it. Interestingly, if you are amiable to the skeleton guards, they will give you a key to paineel if you hail them. You can use the key to get into Paineel to sell and bank, by holding the key on your mouse over a small rock (on the ground to the right once you zone into Paineel from Tox) and typing 'u'.

It seems from my experience that the skeleton guards will kill you even with invis (invis to undead may work), but only if you go within their agro range, which is TINY. Just run straight through, I was able to make it many times at lvl 4, with scowling faction, no SOW, and no invis. I did die once when i was on auto follow and my pal dragged me into 'em accidentally.

im not supposed to divulge this information its something only gm's are sopposed to know but im not one (anymore stupid verant) its the room where the gms go when theres noone needing help (thats rare) if you even do a /who gm you will notice that they are usually in the same zone schome thats the litte box gms get a spell 9even if there a warrior) that send them there to deal with everything. if you get into that room and understand programming code you can ***** with the game but that i will not tell you how to do.

The room you were in is known as a "Developer's Room", and every zone has one (one of my guild sisters got trapped in one in Solusek A). The GM we spoke to said it's what the game developers use when setting up "zone colors" (whatever that means) and moving about from zone to zone.

This happened to me too... The GM who rescued me laughed and said I was in the "naughty room."

Happend To me before! It just happens when you zone into Warrens without doing the optional patch. Then when you do it and get on, BAM you're in this stupid room!
