factions and starting pts
# Jun 28 2001 at 1:18 AM Rating: Decent
I play a lvl 60 Ogre warrior. I maxed out STA for HPs and put the rest in AGI. this might have been a good move for the lower lvl playing but now I wis I went all AGL seeing how STR STA and DEX (in that order) gear is easy to get along with high AC AGI is harder to come by at the later lvls with a high AC. if I could go back in time I would put all my pts in AGI and if any was left over drop that into dex.

Also RZ faction is not all that bad to have. in SOV you will not be KoS in Keal or thurg untill you start killing ice dorfs or giants. it just takes about 4-8 hours of faction hunting to fix not being KoS in some places in norrath.

hunt in highpass hold till your non KoS then hunt pickclaws for ears till your non KoS in freeport. hunt in mistmoore for bard faction(and some dragon faction in RoK). hunt in BB for qeynos faction.

hope this helps up coming ogres and trolls following RZ.

I am a lvl 5 troll bound in West Freeport and I need some help on getting good militia faction. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get some faction with them. I cant find any good quests on this page. And I think someone might have some info for me. And dont bother if youre going to tell me to go back to Grobb because the surrounding Freeport zones are better than the Innothule swamp.

Yum! Trollen ****!

So what do we have here? It seems to me that we have an elven Calista Flockhart lurking around our boards tempting us with those little toothpicks they call legs, all the while leaping and prancing, trying to whet our appetite with her anorexic gyrations. A decayed skeleton has more meat on it's bones than these emaciated appetizers mascarading as sentient creatures.

As King of the Trolls I have considered Kelethin (notice the syllable *thin* in Kelethin) as my personal pantry, indeed, the entire continent of Faydark is my exclusive elf, gnome, and dorf farm. That particular area of Norrath has no purpose other than to be an agricultural preserve designed to supply trolls with a steady source of food.

So, little Miss Anonymous, I am putting you on notice that you are slated to be my desert for next week Thursday's dinner party. Be there.

Fiddo, at least our race has culture. We trolls came from kunark and our war chief was one of the chosen 3 making us one of the chosen races ( as well as wood elves and erudites ) .

Your culture consists of a gnome and a dwarf making love and producing the first ever halfling. period.

hi, lvl 13 troll warrior here.
I spent quite a while getting to this level but i have found out i have made some mistakes:
1. I worship rallos zek (making me KOS in even MORE places) I dont really care that much myself but i have being told this is a dumb thing to do

2. I have didnt put any points into agility or dexterity, instead i put them in strength and stamina. I feel this is a bad move

and finally

3. I have only being using 1hs and have being told i should have pratised all weapon skills from the start

should i re-start to correct these changes or should i carry on with my charecter? I dont want to spend the time getting back up to level 13 as i have made grouping friends and amassed quite a wealth of items, i think very good for my level.

What do you guys think?
RE: rallos zek
# Jul 21 2001 at 1:35 PM Rating: Decent
Well, actually, I have done much the same things as you. First I had a 15 Troll Warrior on Torvonilous who worshipped Cazic Thule, since he is my favorite god (as you may have noticed if you turn my name around), anyway, my RL buddies wanted to start again on a PvP server, and we chose Tallon. With pain in my heart, I said goodbye to him and started again on Tallon. I had him worship Rallos, after all, I thought the choice of your god didn't matter that much, and after all, I AM a warrior. I put my points in STR (exactly like last time) and a few in sta so it ended up in 140str 120sta. I also chose to go ONLY, ONLY for 2h slash. I know many of you may disagree, blah blah blah, but I AM NOT A POWER GAMER. I did both things purely for the roleplay aspect. IRL I'm pretty strong, and it's one of the things I'm proud of. So in games I always go for str, and doing as most melee damage as possible (the less casting abilities, the more combat stats/abilities). I know that 2 1h weaps taunt a lot better, and that is the way Verant FORCES you to follow the rest, and be just another guy in the crowd. Well, I DID NOT. I hate being forced into something, and I wanted to be DIFFERENT. Anyway, I have no trouble in combat (lvl45 btw) and as I read somewhere before, ppl did experiments with avatar and stuff, add dex you know, and the changes in procs and critical hits were VERY small. I mean, for a gnome, hafling or any other weak race, yes, they don't have the strength or the stamina, so they need to get it from their agility and dexterity. But not trolls, ogre, barbarians and dorfs. We do so much dmg that if we miss once, it won't matter. Anyway, it just might be all roleplay. What I did learn is that if you choose for Rallos, you can never raise yourself out of KOS with Cabilis, even with the bonechip quest, however you could with Cazic (he created both iksar and trolls so...) so this pained me greatly. However, when I came in Velious, I discovered, to my great surprise, me not being KOS to Kael Drakkel, which was awesome. I could be bound in Kael with no worries, and bank up, thus I could stay there, instead of OT, where everything is turning green. However, I found that there were very few darks in Velious/Kael, and was attacked on sight by every light that passes. Knowing I could never hunt in peace there, I went back to Kunark. I will come back though, with a guild raid probs. And I will definately go to SS again, cause I need Guardian Armor baad. Anyway that was bout the history of Rorroh, hehe. Hope you may learned somthing from it. Later all

If bein Kos everywhere don' bodder you, don't start again... yer weapon skeels is fine cuz as a warrior, you kin swing two weapons at once, unlike mes.. you kin deel muchly damage quicker den da SK wit one big slow weapon.. but dat's just from my experiance
RE: rallos zek
# Jun 29 2001 at 2:00 PM Rating: Default
I have a cleric so you may say that I shouldnt be writing here, but I think that I may have something to add. I am lvl 50 now and having little problem getting raids, groups, and all sorts of fun.

When I started I did not know what I was doing and ended up putting my points in Str, Int, and Agi. Now when I realized what a mess I made around lvl 9, I thought about restarting. However, I didnt and am glad of it.

True I had to go to greater lengths to get my Wis up, but in my mind that made the game far more interesting and challenging. I eventually got my Wis to 200, though maybe not as quickly as others. As I was told, characters are only as good as the people behind the keyboard. The beauty of this game is that everybody can do whatever they like with their characters.

So don't start over if you find that you did not follow the "cookie cutter" directions as to how to make a character. Play the game for what it is and enjoy yourself.

Now I'll hop off my soap box.

I play a Troll Warrior who put some pts into Agility and all I could in Streingth 140 to start and I worship Rallos Zek. I have been fighting in BB since level 9 being binded behind the ivy in Qeynos. I worked on 2h slash until 9th level where I changed to 1hs. I plan to have him duel weild now that he is almost 13th level. And yes it is hard but if you like your character and friends keep playing him. I have developed my Trolls personallity around his strengths and weakness. I even named him Samzun. If your worried about your low stats then buy items that increase them. If you enjoy your character and the game and not worry about power gaming but role playing and having fun then you will. My character never will run a train to another person although he may yell for help. I believe that going down fighting is the ultimate way to worship the god of warrior. Just have fun.

Well true trolls suffer in agi and dex, but you are a WARRIOR! You need stamina!!!!! Sta, Str, Agi is the order of importance. Don't waste any points on str, its really ez to get up. Go all sta and te rest if you do recreate. Even if you don't, it doesn't really matter, any combo of str/sta is good for a warrior. But if you put all into dex and agi your killing yourself.

Should you start over? It depends on what you want. First off, your character is far from unplayable. There are plenty of stat increasing items out there to get your deficiencies up. Serving Rallos Zek will not make you less KOS in other cities at first, but what it may do is force you to kill more faction increasing monsters to get you to the point you are not KOS than if you had chosen agnostic. With my troll, I personally don't give a frogloks behind what other races think of me and wouldn't worry about it. As for learning other weapons beyond 1h slash, luckily for you 1h slash is probably the best weapon skill for a warrior to learn. If the thought of starting over bothers you, and you are willing to live with the limitations of your character I say keep him, and continue on. You can reach level 60 with this character.

Having said that, however, I would start over myself. Why, because I am a power-gamer at heart. I like to get the maximum my character can be, and get there as fast, and efficiently as possible. I would have beefed up my agility, and dexterity at creation. I would have probably chosen agnostic, although I still don't give a frogloks behind what anyone thinks of me. I definately would have practiced more than 1 weapon skill, but probably not all 5 weapon skills. 3 at the most. Trying to raise all 5 is a drag. Aside from 1h slash, I would go with 2h slashing and piercing.

Make your choice, it won't be wrong either way.

That hit to your dex is gonna kill you, espically when you start getting weapons that proc an ability. I've just started my troll warrior (sstaph on Terris-Thule), but I made the same mistake with my DE SK. I started over by the time I hit 12th, and getting my new DE SK (with the stats in the correct slots) was even more of a breeze than the first time.

I would recommend starting over NOW, before you invest any more time/equipment into him. Also, starting with all the equipment you had at level 12 will just kick *** also, making it an even eaiser trip back up to this charecter's current level. Just need to find a trustworthy companion with room for 8 backpack to sit there while you make your new troll ;)

k i know trolls have enhanced regeneration. does it ever get better with levels? also. are ogres the only people who can never get stunned? or can trolls do it too?

Yes, regeneration gets better. At level 20 you will begin regenerating 6 ticks per time unit while sitting. Its still 2 ticks while standing. I am not possitive about this, but I believe at level 51, and every level to 60, regeneration goes up 2 ticks every level.

Sorry, but only ogres are unstunable from the front. Ogres can still be stunned from behind.

I have a troll and I really hated the Swamp and the Feerot so I left. So I decided to run to Freeport for a good newbie field (yes i was lvl 1)
.There are lots more things to kill and its alot safer (If you stay away from the guards!) And you can still get into the city with a few tricks. Not everybody will be able to do this but if you already have a good amount of playing experience it shouldnt be to hard. Just look at some maps that are on this page and you should find your way. I would also recomend this for ogres too.

You don't like da swamp? I love da swamp at early levels. Frogloks are great to kill. From level 1 to 4 just hunt froggy tads, skelletons, snakes, kobold runts around the campfire on the little island. Just run back to the troll guards if you get in over your head. At level 4, I move on up to the Guk entrance and fight all the frogloks, and froggy fishermen till about level 9. When I get the chance, I go whack on the froglok guards guarding the entrance to Guk. If I ever get in over my head, I just zone into Guk. I can level very quickly in da swamp to level 9. At 9, however, Its time to head up to the Commonlands.

I agree with you about Ferrotte forest though. I have found it very tough to find things to kill there. All Ogres should head over to da swamp and fight at their early levels.

I am a newbie to Ever Quest (better known as Ever Crack) and my very first character was a troll warrior (i had freinds who played this since Beta and they said it was good to start with) my stratedy was to kill everything around the camp fire to the right of the Grobb entrace till i was lvl 5 which took forever in my opinion then i hunted the froglocs around or near grobb till i was lvl 7 at this point i killed 3 to 4 at a time then i hunted fishermen but i did it near guk cuase if you get into serious trouble you can zone and froglocs will not pass the hallway into guk but the guards will get ya i didnt leave the swamp till lvl 10 then i walked around to Nso got a group and killed dervs i lvled hella fast i am now am lvl 15 and it took me only like 5 hours wiich is damn good in my opion i am not sure of what to do no wbut i think i will figure it out i am a newbie so my stategy may not be the best one but it worked for me and also drink as much meade and wine as you can it will raise your regen so please judge me without harshness for i am new to this wonderfull world of EQ thank you
