The Iksar

You'll just need some sv cold armor.

The easiest way to get to antonica is go from cab to warsilks, Follow the road to OT, from there follow the road to the outpost or go around the canyon(Road takes 3 times longer). At the outpost wait until the boat gets there and have a druid to wolf form you and jump on the boat. You start KOS in the outpost so wait until the boat arives you dont want to get murdered. Invisibility wont work to get to the boat because to get on the boat you need to pass one or 2 undead mobs and sometimes you need to cross undead then live then undead then live just to get to the dock not to mention how the guards patrol at all the wrong times. The only non wolf form way to get to the boat is to if you are a necro cast an alternation of gather shadows and invis vs undead. Or get or pay a necro and amag to cast them on you. Both are veery dificult to do.

Iksar Shaman class armor is called Mystic Scaled armor. It's give as a quest from the Furscales, they reside in the second floor of a small building near the Field of Bone zone. Ask them about the quests or look them up to find all the neccessary components. Each quest will involve handing in the appropriate dropped items, a gem or two, and a piece of banded armor that corresponds to what piece you will recieve. The mobs and zones involved are around 25 to 30 ish and most loot needed is no drop so you will have to do the quest yourself, or buy the end result. Good luck completing the quests as it's some of the best armor Iksar can wear hands down.

I just checked, and at 25 I was regaining 4 hp a tick standing, and 8 sitting, I'm a Iksar Necro, not sure if the class makes a difference.

From what I know about regeneration to begin with most of the classes gain an extra point of regeneration every 15-20 levels, someone else knows more about this im shure but if the Iksar's regeneration is special I canno't say. I would think it'd be identical to that of a troll though.

Yes different classes Regain health back quicker than others, I'm fairly certain that only applies to warriors though

I waited awhile hoping that someone higher level then me (21) would respond. Since no one did I'll say what I know:

From levels 1 through 19 you regenerate 2 hp per tick standing and 4 hp per tick sitting.

Starting at level 20 you still regenerate at 2 hp per tick standing but at 6 hp per tick sitting.

I have no information on if it increases more at higher levels although I'd be surprised if it didn't.

To the best of my knowledge there's no way of increasing that other then the same spells and such which would apply to any other race (I think there's a shaman spell for example which also causes regeneration). However, in the way you obviously were asking the question there is no way of increasing the regeneration rate that I know of other then gaining levels.

Best way to raise Erud faction is have someone port you to Tox, where you then go down the beach (on Erud side, not Paineel's) and find a Heretic necro named Elial Brook. Kill him a lot (but he spawns every 5-7 min. so it's not a long wait) and your faction will eventually be up very nicely. Beware that a guard comes by his area every so often (blue to a lvl 32 shaman) and stands by the hut; if you stay up the beach from him a little (between the bridge and the dock) you should be safe, and if he shows just wait for him to leave so you can kill Elial (who is a puny lvl 7) in peace. Doing this increases almost ALL your Erud factions.

4)there is also the female merchant in north ro in the desert area near east freeport
5) in in east freeport there are is a dark elf that spawns in the tunnels (just inside of the secret wall)
I am a Iksar Shadow knight and i could use these merchants with no faction so we are not completly hosed.... hope i help someone

I hadn't done this one at all, but to me, I'm really fond of the Curscale pup quest. Go to Haggle Baron, talk to the vendor there. he'll give you a big. Fill it with curscale pup/cub pelts.

Not only do you get nifty armor until you can afford better, you get money, *good* XP and faction. Like the torches, it's best at lower levels, but I almost outfitted my entire self with the armor he gives you.

While Your post has merits, Other things need to be mentioned.

For you beginning warriors, shaman, and shadowknights, ANYONE for that matter, it is ill-advised to use the newbie weapons for long.

During the first several Levels of an iksars life we will be leveling up much faster than any other race and class Period. Congrats for buying the expansion pack when you could ;)

With this super fast leveling comes an equally "difficult" challenge of keeping your weapon skills up. Gordon said that DEX is responsible for the advancement of weapon skills, and While In my experience it doesn't seem completely accurate (ie: more to it) I definatly see slow weapon skill advancement for us iksars. If you follow the advice of say eq.castersrealm.com you would have selected 5 points into dex, a fine choice. Perhaps even more is warrented, but never underestimate the power of carrying more loot than other people / hitting harder than them ;)

I would recommend no one to use the newbie pike at first, unless you upgrade it early on, by questing for your next level pike as soon as you are able to. The next pike is 9dmg 46 delay and 2 ac, overall a better weapon than the shantok with just a slight amount of effort needed to accomplish this task, see the quest database under warriors to find this information out, you should probly be about 4th level before you do this quest.

Anyways I got a bit off what I was going to say, sorry, My advice to you warriors is to instead by a dagger at one of the merchants in the FOB and probly countless other newbie zones in Kunark, You know, the ones with survival staffs... Anyways this dagger is 3 dmg / 22 delay almost as good as magician summoned.

What??? has ezzlan lost his marbles even 8 / 46 is better than 3 / 22 .

Let me take you through some simple math to illustrate my point. First you all know that until 20 there is a damage cap... That cap is double the damage of the weapon + 1

Therefore for a true comparison, the dagger is 7/22 while the pike is 8/46 (I wish I could do a data table)

With this +1 bonus on the dagger it is really not as much of a negative as one might think.

Ok, also... As a warrior, perhaps you have been told the best weapons in the game are 1hslashing, and for the most part I would have to agree, however, there are awesome piercing and 2 hand slash weapons available, and if you happen to find one you are going to wish you had maxxed skill points in that area.

For example, even though the shan'tok has a slightly higher ratio than the upgraded pike, the pike would win because of the +2 ac However, why not train both, because both are fine weapons and use different skills.

Unfortunatly there is a lack of good 2handed weapons for us newbies in kunark, but thats ok, because as any non-large warrior can tell you it is often more important to use a shield for the benefit of bash, if not just for the extra AC in a damage heavy group (IE: monks and rogues galore)

Ok, so you are going to use your (perhaps its a sacrificial dagger) fast dagger to train, and a shan'tok for those close fights on yellows at level 5+

However, what if you have your upgraded Pike and close to full points in the Piercing skill, then things are reversed... (Stupid random numbers)

Use your upgraded pike for those close fights, but use one of the other "fine quality" rusty weapons around, the feir'esh and the Tier'esh (or something similar to that) They have not quite the damage ratio of the Shan'tok, but a lower quality weapon at a skill of 25 would be much much more powerful than a high quality weapon at skill of 8.

But always realize, when I say poor damage ratio, remember you are using a heck of a lot better weapon that they are using on the mainland, so be proud and give praise to the great Cazic

New Iksar Warrior Convert, as well as player of every other class ;) (except wizards cuz they suck hehe j/k)

Oh and btw I hope people read this even though its under a somewhat small post.

(oh and again I try to go for quality over quantity, but if you have any additions, feel free to tell me what weapons you have found around our fair city of cabilis) Or even better, could someone perhaps post a guide for the armor in the area, I'm currently using a mix and match set of the Raw Silk (the stuff sold in teh FOB)equivilent for us iksar, and a bit of curscale, waiting to go into kurns)
