I love the steel ULAK! Yeah! What armor is good? I have the dark one set and the raw hide set. What can I craft that will be better?

I note that I fould a stone that glows and works as a shield. ALso try the bug eyes for sheilds, they work. Trolls are strange and cool! I love mine, even though she is soooo ugly.
CT shaman blows

If you're going to play a troll shaman do not pick CT as your god...go Innorruk. his shamans get a clickie snare that makes life easier. The only thing being a CT worshipper gets you is a slightly easier time getting the Iksar shaman mace. I went CT shaman and have regreted it for over a year

Yeah, speaking of shamans, should a troll shaman go blunt or piercing?
Trolls in Neriak
# Sep 13 2003 at 10:43 PM Rating: Decent
I have a troll now too and she started in Neriak, rather than the other city we used to start in. I was told by Glob I think his name is, just outside the Neriak foreign quarter in the forest, that the the troll's homeland was overtaken by bad trolls or something. The Dark elves are kind enough to let us stay with them. I was told to be niced to the dark ones because they were doing us a favor by letting us stay there.

I have been hunting in the swamp. It is fun, but bring a tough friend I get killed everytime.

Retards. All races run just as fast as other races. Its just ground positioning. Things do look slower when you’re towering over everything, or fasters when you’re so low to the earth.

Armor for newb trolls
# Jul 03 2003 at 12:02 AM Rating: Decent
There is a Troll named treskar in the foreign quarter (troll section). He needs 2 snake eggs to make a pie. He rewards you with a piece of rawhide or patchwork armor (sells for 1 gold to 1pp). You can of course kill snakes for the eggs but shops sell them for less then a silver each, so buying em from a shop then handing em in bring a rather large profit. Another trick is rolling an halfling alt and buying STACKS of snake eggs from shops in rivervale for like nothing. Increases your faction with troll merchants, gives exp and some ok armor which you wear or sell to a shop. hand in like 10 stacks thats 100pp. Also check the shops in neriak for tradeskill items like spiderling/spider silks, bonechips, low/medium/high quality wolf/cat/bear/hopper hides/skins/pelts and other things like leather padding. Buy all you can find and head up to the bazaar and SELL! End of the week, Don't be surprised if you have 1-2k in the bank. Check the shops every day in every quarter of neriak (riverdale too if you can). Lots of cash to be made at that. If you see an interesting item for sale in a shop that you can afford (swirling shadows etc) search the allakazam item lists to see how much it sells for, and if its a bargain (listed at 20pp costs like 1 gold) buy it and resell it at the bazaar.
Why?
# Jun 29 2003 at 2:22 AM Rating: Decent
Why in the hell isn't there a newbie armor quest for troll shadowknights? This really dissapoints me. I always look forward to doing the newbie quests. Now, I'm going to have to blow a chunk of change in the bazaar. Granted, Crustacean armor isn't expensive, but I just don't always have the coin. They really need to implement an armor quest.

What do you think?
# Jun 25 2003 at 5:55 PM Rating: Decent
I want to start playing EverQuest again and wanted to play a Troll, I do not think it is fair what they have done to them. First off they progress slower than most races, they have less attribute points than ogres, they are almost as hate as much as Iksar and now they do not have a great starting city. I wish that they would do something to equalize all of the disadvantages a troll has. Maybe they could have a starting city in Kunark and or have an aliance between Cazic Thule worshiping trolls and Iksar or give them a stat increase. I am not asking that they are made into quasi-god-like starting characters, like Frog loks with good quest armor, great stats and great everything else. I just think that things should be a little bit equaled out.-- What do you think? Should we petition?
RE: What do you think?
# Nov 02 2003 at 1:13 AM Rating: Decent
There IS something to equalize that--darkie guilds! guilds like Obsidian Empire help make it easier to be a Troll.

From a role-playing perspective (I have an Inny-worshipping troll SK), I think it is actually benefits us to have so many disadvantages -- builds up the bile in your stomach and makes you work just that much harder.

Starting city really isn't an issue with PoP anymore -- never spent any time in Neriak, and probably won't go there until I want to use the racial forge in the distant future...

As far as leveling slower, I kind of like it because it allows me to develop skills along the way -- I consciously avoided Paludal Caverns because you level too fast for my taste. I am currently level 25, and have all my weapon skills maxxed except for 2-hand blunt (and that is only a few points behind).

Trolls should be difficult. If you want something easy, be a halfling druid.
New Troll Qeust??
# Jun 22 2003 at 5:18 AM Rating: Decent
There seems to be a new quest for troll shammies. I cannot find any info on it. You have to collect notes for this guy by the arena. He is located in the building right by the 2 ogre armorers, on the balcony. He gives you one note. The second note is a drop off of Fire Drakes(?) in Lavastorm zone. I can not find anymore than that. It said something about being of light in commons having the next drop, but I have not found them. I tried willows, fire beetles. Any help out there?

Forget the second message, i have the third. It says look in a place where the dead walk again for someone named... (the last word is torn off, it must rhyme with again, like Kain or something.)
the place where the dead walk again is probably najena.

They say Trolls start in Grobb.I have a Troll Shaman,and he started in Neriak/Nektolus Woods.
I'm going to try to have him move to Grobb/Innothoule swamp.But first I have to level him up.
RE: Starting City?
# May 27 2003 at 1:35 AM Rating: Decent
The Trolls were run out of Grobb by the Frogloks and had to take refuge in Neriak as guests of the Dark Elves. The Frogloks will kill you if you try to go to your old home city.

I don't know much about Trolls (udder dan dey tok funny) but, from reading these posts I can tell that the people who play them know how to role play and have fun. Maybe my next character will be a troll too.
Thanks for keeping things interesting.
War Clouds Loom
# Apr 08 2003 at 3:05 AM Rating: Decent
The distant claps of thunder are only a portent to the destruction that will befall those who seized are homeland.

Hear this little frogs..."Your time in Grobb is near an end.."

War clouds are looming just over the horizon. Trolls from all corners of this vast earth will gather to stake claim to what was stolen from.

I, Gorrackus of Povar, have sounded a call to all Trolls... "Join the legions of your brethren in ridding Grobb of the frogs..."

I will travel the lands of Antonica, Odus, Faydwer, Kunark, Velious, Luclin, Ykesha and the Planes until our army is complete.

I ask you now my brothers and sisters, fight fo what is yours, Grobb...

State of the Troll
# Mar 21 2003 at 2:47 AM Rating: Decent
Who all agrees that what happened to Troll town was extremely lame? Trolls are seriously screwed over right now. Most spells have to be bought in Shar Vahl or Cab by a mule or something, most of Neriak doesn't care much for us, and we're old-world while Frogs are merely a novelty race at best.
RE: State of the Troll
# Apr 24 2003 at 9:53 PM Rating: Default
Novelty race at best??? you've gotta be kidding! The frogloks are, IMO, the single most well-designed race in the game. Their stats are balanced, their city is awesome, their newbie armor could easily last you into the late 20's, and they have 250 skill in swimming as well as a permanent enduring breath from the start. I play two characters, coincidentally a troll and a froglok. Personally, I enjoy playing my froglok several times more than my troll. However, I do agree that having to be roomies with the inkies is pretty harsh:)
P.S. If any race should be considered a novelty race, it would have to be the gnomes. They really aren't good for much of anything.

Frogloks 250 swimming, thats incorrect, I have swam past frogloks as a High Elf on numerous occasions. As for stats they would make the Best rogue in the game by far, alas they can't be one.
I am not saying they are no good, i have a Froglok Warrior and she's very fun and good to play.
also I tease gnomes in the game but i play a gnome rogue for poisoning and tinkering skill. If race came against race ( although i'm a huge High Elf fan) I would have to hand it to either the gnomes, humans or maybe darkies..Reason? Well these races get all four caster types, clerics, warrior and hybrid melees and rogues.
As far as Trolls go I have never teamed with a bad one they have helped me out on many occasion, ok so frogloks have a swamp gratz to them, let them paddle there feet till their hearts content, trolls just got shacked up with us dark elf babes.(play a dark elf SK too..i really need to get a life lol).

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.

If you're planning on starting a new Troll, don't expect to start your life in Grobb. Due to the new expansion, Frogloks have taken over Grobb and all new Trolls will start in Neriak.

Spiritstones have been renamed to Spiritstone of the Banished and they now drop you off in Nektulos Forest instead of at the spell vendor in Innothule.

The note for the shadowknights is bugged. It should be given to the troll in one of the rooms upstairs. Just Right click each of them untill the training window opens. Sorry man same thing happened to me. I wonder if they will fix the note or switch the names on the NPCs...


Newbie Quests
# Feb 06 2003 at 9:40 AM Rating: Decent
I have just started a troll warrior char and there doesn't seem to be any sort of newbie armour quest. I don't think that troll warriors are alone in this, but since trolls have been around for ages I would have thought that there would be something to work for when you are a baby troll. Are there any plans to make newbie armour for trolls? If not, what quest(s) should I do as a lvl 5 troll warrior?
