ALL of the Iksar races are the best! I know that may not be the help you need but here is why i say that:
very iksar heals alot faster than normal humanoid characters, therefore we tend to level a bit slower to balance that out.
MONKS- monks are an extremely good melee class, they get Feign Death which is awesome for pulling in groups, in case to many mob's are pulled at once. They also have MEND, a self heal MUCH better than bind wound. so this makes soloing much easier. The only drawback to monks is the weight limits, as soon as you can get enuff money, get a full suit of cured silk from a tailor. also, use tailoring kits as your backpacks..they weigh a 1/4 of a packpack.
WARRIOR-My personal favorite, pure melee...I am a lvl 19 warrior, and have been soloing reds since lvl 1, the pure destructive force of a warrior is unmatched...u can wear full armor which cranks up you AC, you get TAUNT which is a must in groups since you have the most hit points(at lvl 19..i have over 600hp), you can duel weild swords(1 in each hand) which can be lethal to a mob, also some of the most damaging weapons in the game are 2HS weapons which you can use. You have the ability to hit CRITICAl blows, and CRIPPLING blows every so often(ex: my normal hits are about 30dmg each strike...when i hit Critical its about 60dmg...and when i hit em with Crippling...is about 96dmg), the downside is heal time is slow, so if possible always grp up with a shaman.
Shaman-Everybody loves a shaman! Especially when you hit lvl 9, then u get SOW(Spirit of Wolf) which will make you able to run much faster, as well as many great battle buffs..they can increase hp, dex, str, agi, sta...and can always heal. at level 24 a shaman gets a most treasured spell...Regen! which allows you to constantly regen your HP...is treasured in battle, saves on mana use. They also have great DoT(Damage over Time) spells, and some great damaging spells...like Spirit Strike, I believe is received either at lvl 9 or 14, the weapon of choice for shamans is either 1hb wepons or 1hp weapons...i recommend camping the skeleton cook at kurns to get the shield of kurn, which will greatly help as a shaman(worth about 50pp all day long, procs every 30min) get about 500-1000pp and head to lake of ill omen to get a Jade chokidai Prod (shaman only wpn, and a lvl 35+ must get this in a grp...they usually try to sell it right then and there...its worth 1000pp, but they usually sell it for about 500pp to make quick sale, get this and u wont need another wpn till your epic quest.
Necromancer- Necro's are greatly feared in the world, they have nasty DoT's and have the ability to use pets at lvl 1...so learn your pet commands(and HOT Key them)I dont play them much, so wont offer to much advice here. they have low hp if you get past there pets.
Shadow Knight- a hybrid class warrior/necro, they are slightly less strong then a pure melee but are still stronger than shamn's or necro's, also..since they are hybrid...u get spells at lvl 9. At which time you can get a pet, which makes you very very lethal, u are not by any means weak, u can use all the armor & weapons available to war class, and can still cast necro spells...so if pet dies, you are still a formidable foe. Defenitly a good choice.

in my opionion the best class for an iskar is the monk because, iskars arent as strong as ogres barbs and trolls, so they wouldnt be as good at sk or warrior as the 3 large races. the iskar have more wis than the large races but also are a bit more fragile than those races. but iskar monks have much better agi and dex than human monks. they have 5 less str and stamina, but that extra 15 agi is really useful. i would suggest adding 10 pts into str, 5 to sta, and 5 to agi as an iskar monk.
iskar monks can also look like chanters in iskar illusion(with the right equip on). my friend has an iskar monk with fighting baton and essence of dol and i let him try on my oracle robe, and he looked like a chanter with oracle robe, gbs, and rod of isidious glamour. =)

I want to start a raid on one of the gooody two shoes lighty towns. All of us ogres, trolls, dark elves, and even the iksars could get together and kill all the lil towns. what would be the best one though? I was thinking the woodelf town in Gfay (cant ever remember what its called) The reason being that wiz's can port directly there, allowing for quick access. Wouldnt be much if any loot, but would be great fun! Even a few lighty's who want to be evil could come along! This is on Prexus btw

As much as I'd like to see it I really doubt that your raid will go very far. It will most likely end up being a large pile of dark race corpses at the bottom of the lifts. That wont be good for our image will it?

I recently journeyed to FreePort and atempted to get my faction up with the militia but it did not work i kill thoousands of orc in west commons but not even 1 faction with freeport militia! what is a good way to get my faction up for the next time i head out there?
Ever notice that message after you kill an orc?
Freeport Militia ain't on the list.. if you wanted faction with the guards you wasted your time.

Hey there this is Washiki,
I am an iksar shaman and am sick of people dissing iksars. Iksars are in my opinion the best race in the game. They are the best at all classes they play except a few which i will get to in a moment. Here are some reasons and examples
1) Iksars are the greatest shamans because they are able to have the highest wisdom of all shaman classes AND have a natural higher regen rate then other races which stacks with the spell regen, which is mad useful for canabalize. Iksar shms although unable to wear totemic (o boo frikin hoo hoo) can wear Scaled mystic which although some peices are crap is basically the same as totemic. And finnally to replace a few Scaled Mystic pieces is Enchanted Cabilis scale which many pieces give wisdom
2) Iksar Monks are a little better then humans. Iksar monks are bettter then humans. Iksars have natural regen as stated earlier. Iksars have higher agi. Iksars have tons of zones near home that give 10x the exp places in Antonica/Fawdwer give. The main downfall is that they are kos many places and thus cannot bank often. Thats why you work on faction, which although is a pain is not a huge sacrifice considering all the benefits you have over humans
3) Iksar Necros are fair. Iksar necros have alright int. When boosted to max its 100 some. Now
you must be thinking "well hey int is nothing to caugh at,buying int items is expensive" This is true to some extent. For instance, there is an iksar only tome that gives tons of int called the tome of eternal (or something like that) it is dropped of a way high mob in karnors but it only sells for 1k, when a spirit tome sells for like 5. Since iksar necros are so hard to find iksar only stuff sells cheap. Also no other necro class has the natural regen iksars have and I have seen this become a fatal flaw. I once met someone who left hp to manna on and went afk and ended up dieing from it. Thats not happening anytime soon when your an iksar. Therefore the int decrease is evened out.
6) I'm still thinking of ways warriors and sks are good if someone wants to send in posts explaing why that would be phat

I have an iksar warrior and they are really good. The main reason is the AC bonus. Many people say they suck cause they cant wear crafted and plate. But the AC bonus makes up if not more for it. I have a Brig Tunic which is AC 17 +7str +4sta the 17 AC is actually 28 to an iksar which given that it is better than crated Bp for an iksar(and cheaper). Which means that iksars do not have to spend as much money for high AC items because the AC bonus. A Banded Tunic gives more Ac with iksar then A Fine plate BP on a Ogre, which lets the nontwinks able to spend less money. ALso the regen is the BEST at higher levels when able to get a Fungi tunic or if twinked because they gain about 30hp a tick. If clhoroplasted you are gaining almost 50hp a tick. Their str is pretty good for starting out but their other stats are also very good like dex and agi.

Iksar SKs are the best for a few reasons:
1 Regen-downtime is a ***** as an SK, especially when solo, I have a de SK and he needs a damn long time to heal after a fight
2 Dex- Iksars have the highest dex of all the SK races. Why is this important? Cause dex is a key component in determining how often you hit. the higher the dex the more oftn you hit
3 The rest of their stats are well balanced, decent str and int, plus high agi
4 less people crowding newbie zones, you get throught those early lvs fast
5 We look cooler
6 AC bonus!, ***** DF armor, its a pain in the @ss to get anyway
7 good quests early on
That is just my 2 cp

Ok, here goes. My main charachter (half elf warrior) is in velious right now. I researched the heck outta armors adn quests in velious only to discover that Kael Giants Warlord armor has no racial limitations! That means... IKSAR WARRIORS CAN GET THE PHATEST ARMOR INTHE GAME! w00t!
I also learned taht Iksar warriors can wear PoG armors... double bonus!
Needless to say I immediately started an Iksar warrior.. identical stats to my HEF, plus regen and evenutally will be able to wear some of the best armor in the game!
Iksar warrior? OH YEAH!

i also have an iksar warriors i think iksars are the best clsss because of the fast regen and yes i also like the ac boosts but they have some really good armour i mean if you are in a guild and have a master smither ask him or her to make you some cabilis scale armour its only 1 better than banded but worth it especially at guild prices cabilis scale armour is only 15-35 pp depends on which armour and also warriors once your atleast lvl 25 can get trooper armour which is really good and im only lvl 17 but i can already do one of the trooper armour quests they are intended for at least 25 the only reason i havent done them is because im not on much and when im on im usually helping out friends and i hat WW its so annoying at night going to OT so i usually dont go to OT unless i need to go to anntonica but the trooper armour can wait and also iksars look really cool and even though there not as strong as like ogres they are smarter and the city is the best its not confusing and it has everything you need to work up skills
the good thing about being an iksar Sk is once again the regen boost and ac boost but also they are alrady an evil alligned race soo its not like half the city is kos to you or just dont like you. this goes for all kisar classes kunark have smarter than average animals so nomatter what you always get money off them so you can make money alot faster and no its not easier to just travel to kunark because you either need a high lvl friend and an escort abck and also if your not a caster or you dont get a bind spell you cant be bound in cabilis unless you have really good faction which is hard to get unless you do the bone chip quest or the scorpion pincer quest (i prefer bone chip quest easier and not as annoying to carry around the faction is the same for both though) and you need an invisiblity spell on you to actuall do one of the quests its not easier to kill awhole ******** of bandits or footpads you barely gain any faction like that

When you hit 46th and everyone is going to Hate or fear to get some nice planes armor for their non-iksar shaman or to Sebilis for Jaundiced bone which Iksar cannot wear you will see why Iksar shaman got the shaft on equipment. The Imbued Cab scale is nice but there are very little upgrades an Iksar Shaman can get outside of PoG. So don't get too high on Iksar Shaman.

Well, I like my iksar shaman. The Root n' Shoot tactic seems to work rather well. So what if they can't wear the best armors that other races can? Least they look the best in almost any armor! Regen, racial regen and the bard song go real nice together, now i gotta try an iksar cerimonial bp on topa that :)

As far as I kno there is 3 ways an Iksar can get back to Kunark from the other continents of Norath.
1.Port to Dreadlands
2.Boat from Oasis to Overthere
3.Boat from BB to FV
Out of the 3 which is the safest way as a lvl 20 iksar to get to cabilis?

If you took the boat to FV you have to get past the drachnids of course. IF you can get someone to invis and SoW you that may be safer; otherwise Overthere probably is. (Getting around the outpost is too trivially easy to mention as long as you don't try to walk through invisible.)
The few times I did the port through Dreadlands I was not impressed with the safety -- especially the tunnel where all sorts of nasties can show up where you can't escape.
So at level 20 I'd say the boat from Oasis to Overthere is probably safest. If you want to maximize safety (still not perfectly safe) then jump off the boat as soon as it zones into Overthere and swim along the shore until you hit the Eastern zone wall (thus avoiding the land critters). When you go ashore I THINK the only things which are aggro are the Sarnaks although I'm not sure so play it safe.
Warslick's is the trickiest although at 20 it shouldn't be as bad as at lower levels. When you get into Warslick's follow the hill around and head south -- the southern part is far lower level. Watch out for the higher level goblins and outcasts, especially along the stream. At level 20 some of the goblins and outcast Iksar may still be dangerous so be careful (it's been a long time since I was level 20). If you're a monk sneak is great here. Once you get near the southern zone wall just about the only things you'll see will be deep green.
Some people like to SoW and barrel on through Warslick's along the path. This will lead you past a bunch of 20'ish critters for a good part of the trip. You definately don't want to try that without SoW. If you do that you might want to at least detour around the giant fort and don't barrel through it.
I think that at 20 there are still a few mobs which may give you trouble, but that's probably the safest way there is, at least in my experience. After you gain a few more levels the Overthere route becomes a cakewalk and about the only things you should see will be green.

/agree Goriath.
The route to anywhere from FV is a pain in the ***. I strongly recomend against it. You have many see invis mobs, all of which will aggro. The guards will kill you through walls if you swim around and they are close. I have even seen guards in the water near the docks. If I want to go to OOT or Faydwer I got through OT, Ogre island, Oasis and take the boat from Freeport. I have invis though.

The best way to go to Kunark from Antonica is to go the the desert of ro, take the log raft thing to ogre island, catch the boat from there and as soon as you zone into The Overthere, jump off the boat to the left and swim to land, on land, walk left along the shore to the mountains and turn right and follow them to the statue of liberty sized Iksar statue and then follow the path up the hill and when the path ends keep heading in that direction for about 50 feet till you zone. Then your in the warsilk woods, head tward the wall on the right when you enter the woods, follow that and soon youll end up at the zone to West Cabilis. Thats the best way you can do it at level 1.

You cant buy Cab scale from Vendors its a Forged item . Going price is about 3-4 plat per AC depending on the person/guild and from what i found out Kunark does not have an auction zone. But Lake of Ill Omen is Kinda.. <very loosely put> Kinda an auction zone .

the lake of ill omen is good for auctining in kunark because there are lots of iksars ther its a good place for lvling if you want to stay on kunark and also there are lots of other races around there is usually about 70 people in lake of ill omen at once in OT there isnt as much iksars and youre better off in Lake of ill omen

All you have to do is get about 10 full backpacks of bandages (regular vendor bought) and do the Honeybugger quest is Misty Thicket which improves most of the RV faction (not the clerics though). You need to be invised to get there and you need to be high enough level to not get attacked by Honeybugger to do this (or just stay invised the whole time if possible). I managed to get my faction up to kindly this way and fairly quickly. You can hand in 4 stacks of 4 bandages at a time. I have been to the bank now several times. All the merchants are kindly as well. However you will not have good faction with the bard in town so be careful and also avoid the clerics who are on a different faction. There is a cleric at the entrance from Kithcor in RV so invis into the city. Just bank and get out and you will be fine.
Anonymous
There is a bank in the basement of Runnyeye. Yes a Bank! Check out the atlas. I haven't been to it yet but aparrantly its safe if you are above lvl 30.
If somebody actually goes there with an iks i would be very interested in hearing how it went!

I went there as a 49th Shaman. Got aggroed by a bunch of goblin guards and had to gate. Not going there again unless it's to lay waste to the place. I did get to kill Borxx by accident :)
You want to bank in Antonica then do the bandage quest as stated above. Damn easy and not too expensive. Beware of the clerics and the bards in RV. There is a cleric at the Kithcor entrance that cons red at 51st. Got to invis in or go all the way around to the misty thicket side.
Another option is to kill orcs and guards in WC and EC. I can now bank in N Fp as the guards are dubious. Since I am camping Slate these days I expect to be regarded better in the future.

i like my necro but i hate i have to mem so much thourgh my pet does most the work. an one else have this prob and if you do have a suggestioin to help me spit it out
Anonymous
I assume you mean med not mem,so I'll go on that note. First you didn't state your level as that makes a difference. If your under level 20 or so, get +mana items, as +int isn't very effective yet. After 20, go for +int. At level 50, +1 int = 10 mana. its less at lower levels, sorta on a sliding scale.
Also when playing a Necro, don't forget to get up and help your pet tank a bit at lower levels. Lay a few DoT's on your enemy, with pet attacking, and then go take a few whacks yourself. If you get sone damage just back off and lifetap. With this method I rarly run out of mana.
Good luck

However, when i kill these little green snots, i don't see the freeprt milita faction go up. am i killing the wrong greenies? i see the ashen order go up, which is good, since i'm a monk and will need to train there, but what good is it if the guards (freeport militia faction) won't let me into town? irrelevant question: what is a standard sale price for iksar scale gloves?

how do i start the quest for iks warrior armor?

Just go to the Scorpiki brothers in OT. They're located in the SE part of the zone, and they'll con warmly to you. The trigger phrase is "What ancient armor?", and that'll get you started.

I systematically raised my faction in freeport so i can bank/shop there relatively freely and i'll tell you how i did it. I am an iksar monk.
I started out doing the orc belt quest. i saved up about 60 of them or so. Then go to freeport west outlying area and get wolf form. DO NOT GO IN AS YOURSELF UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THE BELT QUEST. Then go to warrior guild and give your belts (4 at a time) to the captain (hazzran? i think his name is). he stays on the balcony outside.
After you get to where you are dubious with guards, stop doing the belt quest. Continue killing orcs as this is necessary to raise faction with monk guild. In addition to killing orcs you also need to gather some items for the white sash quest. you need orc pawn scalps, snake fangs, and bone chips. I gathered a lot of all of them. Once you can get the monk guy (upstairs in guild) to give you the quest (again have to kill a lot of orcs) you need to be in wolf form again. Give him 2 orc pawn scalps, 1 bone chip and 1 snake fang. He'll give you the white sash. Keep doing this again and again until your faction improves. I did it with about 60 snake fangs/bone chips, so 120 pawn scalps and i am amiable with monk guild now.
Then.....you need to do the rempy and other guy (don't remember his name) quest b/w east and west freeport again and again and again to raise faction with bank and merchants....I did this about 20 times total and i'm at least dubious with almost everyone there...i didn't have patience to do the quest more times to raise it further...hehe.
Anyway, you need to get the quest in east freeport in the underground under the dock bar. Sneak up behind dwarf and say "what message?". he'll give you a note to give to this guy in wfp. Then sneak up behind hot looking dark elf chick in next room (nice view) and go thru her spiel. you have to stay behind her to get quest so you'll have to keep moving when she turns. She also will give you a note for this dude in wfp. They are both in front of the monk guild. Give each their appropriate notes (sneaking up behind them to do so), get exp and an item in return...one note and one whiskers. The note goes back to the dwarf under the dock bar and the whiskers goes to the hot dark elf chick. You then get exp, an item or money, and faction increase. Do this again and again and again. eventually you too will be able to travel freely thru freeport and have people say to you " I thought iksar were kos in freeport!". Give them a good hehe and smile those pearly whites!
good luck. I have no idea how to not be kos to the casters in the area next to the monk area. I just avoid it. Also there is a gnome in nfp who is still kos to me but I avoid him too and suffer no harm from it...
Good luck Iksar!

Howdy all, I've made my Iksar and he's level 20 necromancer now. This is my first as I've just bought Kunark a week ago.
Please post any info you have about raising faction with the various necromancer guilds I may feel like using while I'm out abroad.
Including and not limited to:
Neriak's The Dead faction for necromancer guild
Qeynos sewers evil faction (don't recall name)
Maybe the gnomes necro guild, a big maybe

what team are iksar on on team pvp servers

OK this is to all you people who are so stuck on faction and whatnot and the "good" exp elsewhere, I am gonna give ya a brief lowdown on why Kunark just plain rocks.
Cabilis=everything an iksar needs=very good=don't worry about other races defiling our towns and lagging them up (ever try to running through freeport during peak hours on BB or e'ci? its bad). Very little i found need for yer cannot be found on Kunark, with the exception of fbss et cetera, but you can usually only buy those in the commonlands anways which are not worth going to unless you hva euber money.
Exp= Great. From levels about 1-14 or even 1-20 field of bone alone is the only zone you need to go to. After abotu 14 though you get too many green and low blues so you move to... Kurns tower. Can get to 20ish definitely there with no problem, and even higher if don't mind fighting yellows (basically the jester, but you camp him for the club anyways (sells for bout 8-10k woot!). at about 20-25 you can either go to the cave with the bigger undead and the named troll sk, dangerous to solo but with a balanced group all about 20-25ish shouldn't have too many problems. Alternately there is Lake of Ill omen, also very close to your base point, in which you can hunt up to 30 easily, starting with the smaller sarnak and gob forts then windmill, et cetera. So now you are about lvl 30, where to ya say? if yer grouped well ya can head back through Field of Bone to Kaesora to hunt to about level 40-43ish. Or go to emerald jungle. That is level up to say level 45 without ever going more than 2 zones away from town....3 if ya only count east cab. There is Warsilk Woods which is nice for 20-27ish also, with nice loot from giants (forest loop anyone?) and the swamp of no hope which also has some decently high froggies in there encampment. emerald jungle is supposedly 30-45 hunting, and then there are other zones, which I do not know much about as of yet since I have not felt a need or had a need to explore. still...lvl 1-45 all withing 3 or so zones....pretty dang good, and I have a few places I am gonna explore yet so....;-P Have fun and dont be a factino monkley stick to good ol Kunark

after about lvl 30 velious is a better place to hunt than kunark. Far better xp off cougars than anything you'll find in kunark.

I agree you can go from 1 to 60 in Kunark. It's convenient, good experience, and you don't even have to get a bind. Once you get into the upper 20s there are many places to hunt because Kunark was designed with higher levels in mind.
I personally find staying in Kunark all the time boring after awhile. I spend a lot of time there but not just there. In fact one of the reasons I made an Iksar is I like the challange of going places while KoS. If you like maximizing experience while staying close to home then good for you. I like to have fun and travel.
Sure I don't HAVE to group with a bunch of elves and hunt giants in Rathe Mountains, but it's fun and a nice change of pace. I mapped out how to get to Butcherblock via boat from Firiona Vie a few weeks after Kunark was released just for the fun and challange. Sure I died several times and didn't get much experience while I was doing it but it was a blast. Strolling through Greater Fay, being the only Iksar anywhere around, and getting lots of second looks was worth it. Nowadays that trip is old and we need something more challanging but it was fun then.
It appears all races start with the same faction standings in Velious so there's no disadvantage to being an Iksar there. In fact it seemed like I was seeing a higher fraction of Iksar in Velious considering how few there are then I was in much closer zones such as Overthere.
I don't like to spend huge amounts of time on faction so, even though I travel all over, only the Freeport guards tolerate me.
It all depends on what is fun for you. If you are happy in Kunark then good for you. If you prefer to travel more then also good for you. If you travel you may want to decide if working on faction is worth it.
It's a game. If it isn't fun what good is it?

all u guys must be on those little wimpy carebear servers. the only way to go is pvp. why leave kunark ? to kill all those little lightys. thats why there is faction. to let you know who you got beef with. so< leave kunark and leave a nice mark on the ground ! dead lighty bodies everywhere ! OH !!!! wait... u guys are probably only worried about an npc fight huh ? no worries about a guy running around in a fight. not just STUPIDLY standing in front of you like a zombie. im only lv 10 sk iksar and i leave kunark all the time. NO im not twinked ! just me and my good ol' pet. that is where the real excitment is. after a good battle , which i have won or lost. i have made some good friends. so when i wanna go to qeynos and im walking with 2 barbs and a few ogres no 1 really has the earge to come pick a fight. bu any way. YOU DO NOT WANNA LEAVE KUNARK IF YOUR JUST PLAYING TO GET TO LV 60...( how boring !! ) but if your out there to flex some muslce and play the real way...lv up in kunark for a bit then go kill some lighies !!!

Okay folks....Has everyone seen those annoying watchers out in the Lake of Ill Omen...I think we have. Well...They happen to drop a red headband...Which has very good stats for something a newbie monk might want. Zero wieght, +1 dex, and 3 ac. The only deal is your minus 10 cha, which isn't that bad, seeing as you can take it off when you go to sell. Hope that helps someone get a nice, FREE, headband that I see myself wearing until I can manage to get something with a greater bonus.
BTW-The watchers drop torches which are turned into the Captain in Warsliks Woods 3 at a time.

I play a lv 47 Iksar necromancer on Fin & Ro many may know me as Zlot Zyper well anyway as said in a post couple up you can kill orcs to raise faction with the paladin in freeport and the merchants in commonlands area but this is only good for lvl 7-12 and maybe 13 solo anyway I found it much better to hunt the guards in west commonlands thats for you higher lvl Iksar lvl 30+ takes some time to be able to raise the faction needed to bank in freeport but it will be worth it cuz i havn't been back to kunark since lvl 36 i do all my banking in freeport and selling there with Call of bone but be warned the bards there are ready to attack to us so avoid their guild and dont sell unless you have call of bone or wolf form some merchants may not kill you but they wont sell to you either.
