Ocean of Tears

Boat is sailing around zone, but not to other zones. Instead they conscripted a couple gnomes and they teleport you in and out. They are on the Docks in BB and FP, as well as on the 1st Dock the boat lands at in OoT.

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.

Is this whole zone nerfed?

Don't believe what you read about these not agrroing. I was doing reasonably well there and they all conned dubious or indifferent when the aviak I was hitting ran up a slope. I followed and Wham 2 Quetzels jump on me and chase me into water. Boat runs aground and sticks. I decide that corpse on dry land is preferable and walk onto beach to die. Long CR. Otherwise great place :)

I was boating from Antonica to Faydwer, pulled up at 1st dock, Seafury Cyclops was attaching someone on the end of the dock and then it quickly aggrod on me. I was of course caught quite off-guard, and with no protection from running around the boat as soon as you can spell damn I was on a corpse retrieve (corpse found later underwater by pier). I expect this was a fluke, but for my 1st trip through Ocean of Tears I certainly shed a few over my poor soggy, crab infested corpse.

Well after about 10 hours camping Wiltin Windwalker for my Ivy Etched Legs quest, I came to the following conclusion:

The pirate camp on Seafury Island would be a GREAT place for Dark races to farm Firiona Vie faction. There are 4 MoBs there (5 if you count Wiltin himself...). I never killed the buccanneer (as this slows down possible Wiltin spawns), so I'm not sure of his faction, but the other ones all give:

+Firiona Vie
-Pirates of Gunthak (any reason to care about this? It's not the Iceclad gnome faction.)

The respawn time on these guys (except the buccaneer/Wiltin) seems to be less than 5 minutes. I expect to see DE necros strolling the cobbled streets of Firiona Vie very soon...

As a 21st lvl cleric, I made some good loot on Sister Isle. The purity belts sell for 1pp and 3gp, and the sisters spawn so many times and so fast you really don't have any downtime (unless you have to meditate).

Yeah, there are pirates on the island that get pissy when you start pounding the sisters. One pirate made a bee line straight for me when I wasn't even close to him! At 21st lvl, though, he was blue and easy to tear down (and that was with one of the sisters pounding on me, too).

I learned to stay close to the shore. If you avoid the center of the island you can hammer the sisters one at a time and avoid most of the pirates. Plus, some of the sisters have an annoying healing capability that can make a battle last uncomfortably longer. So, my point is, stick to the shore and solo one sis at a time.

Also, kudos out to the guy that mentioned how to board a boat just by swimming into it. Nice. That little tid-bit saved me a lot of sweat and tears.

For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, I learned that if you swim head on into the front of the boat you'll board the bottom lvl. Real handy if you're an evil person like me and have to avoid the dock.

The Goblin Island (which is next to Sister Isle) has some nice blue creepies for hunting. The problem is that nobody is ever there to hunt with and the goblins tend to cluster if you're not careful. I had to Gate and then camp twice just to get away from a nasty fight (there isn't anywhere to zone on these blasted rocks). So, yeah, if you run into trouble with the Gobs then just Gate (if you can) and camp. Works just like zoning, only not as convenient.

Also, Root is an important spell to have on Sister Isle. If you don't have Root, I pity you. The sisters like to turn tale and run when things get rough which causes you to wander towards the center of the island--not good. Just keep that in mind when killing these wenches (I don't care if they wear purity belts; they're still dirty whores in my book).

Fellow darkies: there's nowhere to sell here. One player mentioned a wizard merchant on the cyclop island, but I think that's more trouble than it's worth. Therefore, make sure you have plenty of sacks and bags for the goodies.

Oh, and don't forget to say "hi" if you see me there. I hunt there every now and then for some extra loot. ;-)

is there any spot in the OOT where I could bind my warrior friends?

i was bored one day waitting for a boat so i walked into the bar above the barbarian fisherman. anyway some on killed this one person there (and because i was close to him when he killed the guy i got factions lowered too) so noq im KOS on the sisters island and i have to play alot of money to get from freeport to butcherblock. is there any way i could swim or raise my faction so i dont get kos there.

Great for all you evil characters who don't care too much about losing faction with lighties anyway...
Take the boat from Freeport (bind yourself if you want) and get off at the first island. Be careful, especially if you're KOS in Freeport. The boat stop is guarded by several very high level named NPCs that you don't want to mess with and they are KOS to you.
Circle around to the other side of the island and look for the Sisters of Erollisi. At level 12, most of the them should con blue, but there are exceptions. They cough up decent XP, but the loot is the main here. The Sisters drop Purity belts which sell to NPC merchants for about 1pp, and they also drop Elven blood (2gp or so, stackable), as well as Rusty Halberds that make good pet weapons, but they're heavy so you may not want to take them to sell.
Just load up on Purity belts (2sta, 2str, 3ac, waist slot) and either sell them off to other players or to merchants and make a lot of cash.

I found that you don't want to die on the boats going between Buther Block and Freeport, nor do you want to drag your corpse to the boat to loot it. If you die on the boat, your corpse gets scraped off the boat when the boat zones, and disappears when the zone resets (about once every hour). If you drag your corpse to the boat, attempting to loot it will result in an error message, and it will disappear when the boat zones.
