| BlackBurrow is the home of the Sabertooth Clan gnolls, a group not particularly fond of outside visitors. It connects to both the Everfrost Peaks and Qeynos Hills.
Be advised that the dense gnoll population combined with their habit of running deeper into the stronghold for help can make for some pretty impressive trains. Note: For the higher level revamp version of this zone during the "Hardcore Heritage" event, that is running several weeks in june, click here ! |

In case it's not mentioned here (did not read every post)There are two guard factions in Qeynos. The normal Guards you can get faction by killing the gnolls here in BB. The corrupt guards are harder to get faction with. Easist way is to go to Highpass and turn in the scalps collected there from killing orcs and gnolls to the captians that are on the respective sides, orc side gets orc scalps, gnoll side gets gnoll scalps. Doing this gets you alot of important evil sided factions. It's well worth the time to do this till your non-KOS. Being an Iksar it takes alot of faction gains to get past the KOS to anyone in Qeynos. Also, killing the gnolls gets you important faction with the druids as well. This can be handy later when a druid is gating you around.

LOL the corrupt guards... i hate them. I did so much stuff they hated with my first character that i had to leave qeynos because i was kos to them. I even camped them for fun.

You actually can get faction without any risk of KSing - just cast one heal on the fighting player or smack the mob one time, and when the beast dies your faction will go up!
I'm looking for a place to level up my Enchanter because I can't face another Orc. (high elf if you manage to catch me with illusion down) This zone looks like a welcome change to Orcs, and certainly looks a little more manageable than the Warrens...well, more people atleast, so more chances to group.
Anyway, is it possible for a lvl 10 'chanter to solo here until a group can be found? I've pretty much settled on being able to let animation melee so long as I keep the mob rooted. So, how managable is this place for soloing?

One of the concerns in hunting in BB is the number of trains. For the most part these trains are started by gnolls fleeing from fights. Here are a few things you can do to minamize trains
1. Never attack a green con.
2. Use a high damage slower weapon. For the lower lvl gnolls a stated damage of 10 will do the job. For nontwinks this maybe hard to come by, a rusty halberd works well, or a 9 damage rusty two handsword. For the higher lvl gnolls a damage of 14 is what you want. Or a FS 2handsword or better. Using weapons with these damages will kill the gnoll on the last hit, before it flees more times than not.
3. When camping higher lvl rooms, like the green room. If you have lower lvl in the party do not let them chase the gnolls. The will agro a number of gnolls when they exit the green room. These gnoll will then flee when attacked by higher lvl members of the party.

how many gnolls would an iksar monk have to kill to be able to go into Qeynos??

Well if your going to try don't for get to get as many gnoll teeth as you can get your scaly hands on. As for how long or how many gnolls. couldn't tell you.
I have been in and out of the burrows since lv 5. I leveled up all the way to lv 18 in there. The best thing to do to lv up fast is to find a group. Get a good group. Then find another play who is a few lvs higher then you are. Have them pull elite gnolls out to you. You kill one and he kill one. See the u cant take on an entire elite spawn until you reach about lv 18. I being lvl 19 have helped a few groups out. So this way he doesnt have to worry bout gettin over worked tryin to clear the green room. With him being outside the group yall still help each other but the exp doesnt get messed up.
Also be careful who you make angry. I have seen people cause trains in there on puropse. I know cuz i have done it to. Being that i am high lv. I enter and camp a spot. If someone interferes. I use like the next 2 hrs to just do nothin more than make trains. I have counted some 20 deaths in one train. That was a good one. But it does show. Lv 1-5 chars..SHOULDNT ENTER...IF u are low lv stay in Low lv area.. Dont try and rush an Elite gnoll with a lv 4 char. it dont work. Have fun

hi all
I grew up in BB so listen up for some quick tips on how to lvl up asap from lvl 10-15
okay, you need to start in a group in the main meditating room until about lvl 11 or 12, then grab a partner and move to the elite ledge, OR you can get in a good group and go take the commander room or green room. Dont worry about dying because it will happen eventually because the trains are horrible. The only thing that you can do to stay safe as a druid (like me) is if you die, go invis and go and drag everyones corpse so as not to create another train. As to the Barbarian warrior who said that the named gnoll was lvl 25 you are incorrect i have killed every gnoll in splitpaw through lvls 10-15 including Mannon of Splitpaw, and the Two white gnolls, the caster and guy with whip. The best you can get is some o.k. shoulderpads with like 5str and a leather whip. Well hope that helps GL to all newbs in BB.

I have hunted Crushbone for a while and it has served me well. I feel the need to explore this world, and I was wondering if Blackburrow has better loot or exp than Crushbone? No matter yes or no, please suggest some places to hunt.
Thanks

I would say the loot is weaker (though I haven't really wanted for cash since I started hunting BB), but the exp is better. Also, the hunting is easier for two reasons:
1. There are fewer people camping (no SBS or Dragoon Dirks means no bozos camping them for big plat)
2. Trains are more manageable (no Dvinn or Emperor taking out everyone below 15th level...), and you can do a lot of hunting without coming near the places that cause most of the trains.
I used to hunt CB a lot, just got tired of the silly camping for loot. You will seldom hear anyone /shout that a certain spawn is camped in BB (though it sometimes happens with the elite ledge and the green room).

On lvl 3, next to the bottom of the pit, there is a door. If you enter the door, u get to a snake room, and those snakes are great xp becouse they are quite easy to kill and they wont gang up against you!

If you are a level 8/9 mage, and have Elementaling: Water and Summon Dagger spells, summon a level 9 pet at entrance to hills, then summon a dagger and give it to your pet. U will find a drop near the entrance. Go up to it, but DO NOT FALL IN. Move around on the edge until your pet falls down onto the bridge or water. If he is supposed to guard you, this will work. Go to the entrance to Hills and wait. If a train comes and you cannot handle it, flee, then try again. On your pet's search for you, he will encounter some enemies that he will likely defeat. You will recieve xp. Repeat until you are satisfied. Happy hunting!

The guy who said he would 'Train their asses' what happens if the KSer is 20th level or above and just there for faction?
Well, just wondering, I have killed/ got faction changes from about 220 gnolls and Razorgills now. If I see a Train, I try and bash it for the faction. If I see someone busy with a gnoll(or three) I check hp levels, bandage the PC if below half, ask if they want any help. even if they dont, I wait untill Gnoll is below half (so I dont KS it) and whack away for the faction, Player gets exp, I get faction, everyone happy.
