Greater Faydark

ahh.... yes, wood elves get Infravision, just like most of the other races. It gets pretty dark in there (trust me, my paladin and ranger started in felwithe/kelethin) dont worry, get to know your newbie area better and head for the lights at the lifts if u get into trouble.

hope that helps... :)

not about binding, but darkies.
I play on the most populated server in the night, (prexus) and have never seen a darkie anywhere, except the time i made one, and there was one other person in Neriak, the only darkie ive seen since i started play 2 months ago. Is it that Darkies are not good, bad factions and such that people dont want to be them?

Eenil level 7 Magician
-Prexus server

type /auction WTS CB Belts! do that every 15 min, some1 will eventually buy them. ie sold belts from 5gp all the way to 2pp each (darn good fer a level 8 with about 24 belts! hehe) then u can buy banded armor, good for any tank at lower levels, except fer monks of course! (nah duh!)

good luck and look at all of dem pretty trees.....

yah nothing at all but hippy elves and easy kills

There's not much you can do other than wander and try to fight what you can, run from what you can't. I have a lvl 7 druid and I know from experience that no one is going to help you. Druids aren't useful to group until at least lvl 14.

Good Luck (You'll need for the next year it'll take.)

According to Eqprices.com you could expect to get about 15pp for it. Although their listing was based upon a single reported transaction.

Try lookin for a willowisp... without the little "-"'s. two diffrent monsters, willowisps are weaker than will-o-wisps, and i dont think i've seen will-o-wisp's in GFay.



Oh yeah, both can only be hit by magic, so be prepared. and if u want to find lots, go to west commons.... too many to count there.

good luck on your journeys and i hope this has helped :)

I saw one west of the city just a few minutes ago.

I see one bobble along through the newbie zone in Felwithe about once a night. Good thing too. It usually leaves a trail of dead, stupid newbies in it's wake who attack without conning first.

I have seen many will-o-wisp in the Greater Fay Dark

Or another good use for them is to turn them in to the Paladins Guild at Kaladim. You will get about 6-10 silver, experience and a lantern or a patchwork armor or rusty weapon. It's a good way to get some better starting equipment.

Cool do you have any idea where in Gf she is?

I created a druid on one of the PvP servers a long time back and wound up being pk'ed instantly in the newbie garden.

I found it was much safer to create a ranger and hunt the quiet areas between kelethin and Faydwer. Why a ranger? Because I used tracking to help me avoid other players and orc cents.

heehee beign a brewer myself i like to taste test my new products often :)
Swaying can be a problem in the trees if you are not a monkey(or me :) so i suggest getting drunk on the ground is your best bet of beign safe.
i just love walking across those bridges drunk and trying to get into the bank getting everyone annoyed :)

What you do is stand at the lift and STAY there.
The guards will run to the tree the lift is attached too and run back to your rescue.
:)
Also dont take on faries cuz the gaurds will not help you at all.
I was running around the City for ages trying to get it off me :)

[The following is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek story by a wood-elven ranger (adapted from his biography) which explains, among other things, why the Kelethin guards are so lax. - Enjoy]

The problems began with the Fickle Folk, strange mystical beings with god-like powers. We believe them to be extraordinarily powerful pixies because of the tricks they enjoy playing on the common folk. The Fickle Folk destroyed the best defense of Kelethin, namely, being able to fire arrows down upon attackers. Some strange but powerful magic prevented even the bows of our finest rangers from being able to hit foes upon the forest floor from our platforms built for that purpose. One of the Mysterious Mystic Messages would instead appear, "Target is too far above/below you." This could only have been the work of the Fickle Folk. Luckily for us, they also saw fit to keep our trees from burning no matter how many torches you put to the trees.

It did not take long for the orcs to take advantage of the situation. They sent their youngest warriors to taunt and harass us, wandering the forest floor just below our great tree city. Where before none of even their bravest dared show within sight of a platform, their pawns now wandered with impunity. Our dark cousins who chose to flee into the earth began aiding them in our torment of us. They even sent an ambassador to the orc leader Crush, who pretended himself an emperor!

With our best defense stripped from us, the leaders of Faydark’s Champions decided that we must take the fight to the very stronghold of Clan Crushbone to wipe the forest clean of them and end their threat once and for all.

In the beginning, things went well. Orc outposts fell quickly, and no runners escaped to warn Crush of the approaching army. Once inside, the forces charged the hill, killing the centurions in training, and dispatching the trainer. Pawns, centurions, legionnaires, and slavers were put to the bow and blade and grateful slaves freed. The slave taskmaster met his end to the great satisfaction of the slaves whom had been forced to labor under his whip.

The castle itself proved more difficult, though they didn’t have enough warning to throw down the wooden walks over the moat or bar the door. There were more of legionnaires as well as oracles, emissaries, and royal guards. Still, after a few minutes of fighting, the throne room was cleared. "Emperor" Crush was not to be found on his throne, however. He and his inky ambassador had fled to the tower accessed from a passage behind the throne. The ambassador was proving to be a deadly foe. The blue-skinned traitor D’Vinn stabbed the guild master of Faydark’s Champions in the back.

The battle with D’Vinn was a long one, for though the rogue was an ambassador, he was not unfamiliar with the blade. He was a treacherous opponent. Finally, he was overcome, and his black heart cut out to take as proof of his demise. Crushbone was ours! Battered and bloody, our forces were none-the-less victorious. Whoops of victory sounded throughout Crushbone. Unfortunately, it was not to be a lasting victory.

Incredible reports began to pour in from the areas of earlier fighting that orcs were literally falling from the skies to take their slain comrades places! Soon the reports were no longer necessary, as the rain of orcs approached our position. A battle-weary group of elves met with fresh orc replacements. It soon became evident that we could take but not hold Crushbone in the face of an unending sea of fresh opponents. Fate was never this fickle – it must be the work of the Fickle Folk.

Though D’Vinn’s black heart still lay in our pack, his doppelganger slew many. There was no rejoicing in the great tree city that night. A demoralizing blow, the guards of Kelethin to this day make only half-hearted attempts to clear the area of orcs, knowing that they’ll be replaced with fully-armed replacements as a matter of course.

Some say that the Fickle Folk harbor a grudge against rangers to this day for their attempt to secure Crushbone, using another mysterious magic against them called the "nerf". But the rangers fight on.

Unfortuneately, I must agree with this description whole heartedly. Not only have I seen guards fail to react when a mob runs up to them. They have a tendancy to run away and come back before they start attacking. Not only that, I have seen orcs actually in Kelethin, running along the bridges, right past seemingly blind or severly drugged guards. Don't trust them with that last bubble, or you might not make it.

Actually Tyfin, there is no druid ring in Gfay, what you might be thinking of is the area most elves know as the newbie ruins. The only Druid ring on Faydwer that I'm aware of is in Butcherblock.
