Paineel

Anyone know anything about the avatar of terror in this zone? I saw him spamming shout with stuff.. something about forging an item for one person loyal to cazic-thule. Whats up with that?

By level 4, when I no longer gained experience from them, I had over 6 backpacks full of bone chips from this zone. As a necro - what a great way to not have to worry about re-casting to get a higer level pet. And the extra $$ from looting rusty weapons was great as well, I was able to purchase all my spells up to level 8, and full cloth armor. There are always plenty of decaying skellies to go around in this zone. BTW, Noclin's Pet, a rare spawn in the newbie area, gives an item that if you give to Noclin near the newbie area gates, he gives you a pretty decent 1hb weapon that's NO DROP. There's my 2 cp, enjoy!

The Hole is now live and I have some info to post but can't select it as a zone. Please put it up!

Pain and Suffering is a lvl 60 Mob that only hits for a max of 4 damage...with a damage sield and chloroplast my 45 druid killed him. It took my druid 40 minutes of him non stop hitting my druid to kill P and S. On druzzil ro lots of people kill him for exp at low lvls...this is a GREAT way to raise your skill on any weapon with little chance of dieing. All of this however is usless now because i was at paineel the other day and P and S was gone..i think Verant has finally gotten rid of him because he was a EXP dump..he gave good exp and was great for skills like i said. If he is still alive and was just missing want to note he has HIGH magic resistance and only 50 plus spells will work and rarely at that.

Just finished this quest. From what I can tell, they only spawn at night time and pack rats are the place holders for them. The more pack rats you kill the greater the amount of undead rats that spawn. They seem to range from level 2-3 and they will swarm you.

Has anyone else found this creature? If you go to the ledge on the far side of the newbie zone and keep clicking on the left side you will target a creature called Pain and Suffering. I found it one night when I heard it broadcasting "You will not evade me <PC>", where the <PC> is the name of whoever is fighting it. When I got to the site of the battle I found a lvl 48 druid and lvl 50 shadowknight with pet fighting this thing, it took them about 20 minutes to wear it down and kill it. It is indifferent to my Erudite necro, anyone have any info on faction hits or loot that it gives?

I play a level 22 Erudite Shadowknight, and pretty much got Paineel down like the back of my hand. A few things worthy of note about this place:

It's a VERY VERY cool place. It's both a town and a newbie zone in one. The entrance is accessed by holding your newbie key on the 'keystone' and pressing U. If you lost your key, ask for some keys from one of the guards in the newbie area.

The guards are level 10. Woohoo, time to guard camp... NOT! They slash for 150 max and have goobers of HP.. however, they act like any other green MoB and won't aggro.

After a few days of Paineel being brought up, 2 spectre guards known as the Gatekeepers of Paineel were placed in front of the elevator. I haven't taken any higher level guys there to con them but I hear they're above normal spec level. (note: You have to download an optional patch to see these guys properly, or they look like giant humans, hehe)

This place has a great newbie zone. You can pretty much camp the newbie zones, since a set of 3 MoBs spawns in the corners of the newbie zone. There are also great newbie quests in this place.

The Heretics can easily make it through Erudin. Just don't go near the Palace, or near any casters, especially the Deepwater knights, but the guards will not KOS you, so you can make it off Odus easily... NOT! The Qeynos guards will be KOS to you, along with the druid/ranger guild and the caster's guild. (surprisingly, the priests of life are not KOS). Fortunately, you are free to walk Freeport AND Neriak (except for the ghouls in 3rd Gate) I personally got a port to Nektulos, so don't ask me any good ways for a SK or Cleric to make it offa Odus.

See that giant, bottomless hole in front of the elevator? Hop in! It leads to Toxxulia Forest.

I have been to THE HOLE! From the newbie zone, head down to the caves and you'll see a rock with allusions of something being behind it. One time I crouched down and managed to get behind the rocks (the rocks require a key to open), and I was in front of the Hole zone, but it was unaccesible :( I couldn't get back out of the area and had to get a GM to get me out. There is another possible entrance to The Hole. At the end of the cave is a small pond with underwater rocks that require a key to open..

That's all I can remember for now :)

The undead rats spawn when all the pack rats have been killed. The first night the zone was opened, they were everywhere, because there were over a dozen newbies killing right and left.

They are level 3-4, and hit hard with disease. Last night I went from 4th to 5th levels by calling a pet and siccing him on every pack rat in sight, then waiting for the pack rats to show. I barely made off with my life when two spawned at once, though. :)


As for the guards: It's great. The guards in Paineel are at least as strong nad nasty as the ones in Kelethin. They should do the same to Neriak; either that or make the guards in Kelethin easy to kill.

First of all I agree that newbies should have guards but there is the thing that guards are there becuase they do give good exp, loot, and are just fun to kill and if they weren't meant to be killed like any other npc in the game then they would be invincible now wouldn't they. The thing is that the person or persons hunting the guards should assume the responibility of a guards post, for instance should a newbie need help the person or persons hunting them should kill the threat that is attacking the newbie and is then all balanced out. Now secondly what I don't agree with is your lame title and cursing to get ur point across. If you want to call someone a dumb *** then call yourself one because thats all you are doing is making an *** out of yourself by cursing at other people just putting their opionins down. If you want to post your opionin please do it in a civilized manner instead of telling everyone and I quote "dumb *****".

Thanks for reading.
Come and visit me on the Xegony server.

Apparently their is a bug relating to the teleporters in Paineel. I was coming out of the Necro guild and some higher-level person apparently tried attacking one of the tormented souls that wander around. 2 other TS's joined the fight, all the skeleton bards from the bar, and a few skeleton guards all ended up chasing after him as well. The attacker fled through the teleporter and all the mobs chasing him ended up pacing back and forth at high speed in front of the teleporter... Heheh, there were like 8 mobs there. Apparently they don't know how to use the teleporters... I hope Verant fixes it so they teleport right after them and chase them out of the zone...
