Paineel is home to Norrath's evil Erudite contingent, the Heretics. The most notable sites here are the Fell Blade (Shadow Knight guild), Abattoir (necromancer guild), Tabernacle of Terror (cleric guild), and the Athenaeum Necromantia (the local library).

Also here are two entrances to the Hole (one through an underwater passage; the other through a leap of faith), found through a network of tunnels extending out from the newbie area. The Warrens, city of kobolds, also connects to this same area.

bone chips galore

For all you necro's and SK's out there- the newbie garden in Paineel is loaded with decaying skellys. It's a small area and they are pretty well confined. With my necro alt I just make a hotkey "/pet attack a decaying skeleton" and let old bonehead run wild as I fill my bags with chips in no time flat. just try and be nice to the lowbie heritics and let them get one or two! :P~

This guy is in Paineel inside the cleric guild hall, the Tabernacle of Terror. The 'a spirit chanter' is near it too. He keeps shouting "The stench of fear permeates our city walls. I will forge one item for those who are faithful to our Lord Cazic-thule. Hurry. My time is short!" Anyone know anything about what to do?

I will try to make this as easy to understand as possible. Here goes. First, It is necessary to get the no drop key from the guards outside the city elevator. These two fellas hit for over 100, so be careful. Get a map and look to where the warrens is. If you need faction to get a key from guard, kill lots of kobolds in warrens. Then when you get to amaible or so, Hail one of the guards and say "I need." He will give you a key to the elevator into paineel. You then proceed with your key to the elevator and put it on your cursor and press "U" on your keyboard. Kind of a tricky lock sometimes. If you are a caster and have the ability to gate, get yourself bound outside the elevator somewhere real close to toxx forest zone. Or if you want to bind in front of a vendor (because you will get real encumbered from hauling all these guard weapons around to the vendor to sell) then that is up to you, It saves time, (cause walking is like a slug if you weigh 200/70) but If you get one single high lvl add, You may realize you are in a city and have to run a long way through alot of doors and wait up an elevator to get out. Oh and by the way, these high lvlers seem to skip sections of the map and appear on you if you stop.(this not being an issue if you stay in section 1.)
If you chose to venture beyond "section 1," The best class to use is a Necromancer.
Ok, In case you dont know how you are making money yet, killing the guards and selling their goods to the vendors. You need faction to get a key and faction to sell. without faction, this money machine cannot work.
There are 3 sections in paineel that the guards are in. These are seperated by a sort of a blue teleport wall that when walked through, takes you to another part of the city. I define section one as the area from the bottom of the elevator to the first blue teleport wall. There are 8 guards in this section that all carry a bronze ******* sword and a kite sheild. Most of the guards in section one hit for around 30-40. The one exception is Guard Pendlier, who hits for more.(max about 50)Section 1 guards can be killed in their location, are all stationary, and do not run through an area and train out lvl 60 mobs to smash you as in section 2 and 3 (rarely.) (which explains why this method is for necs who can leave pet, run, harmshield and just make it out of the elevator and in to toxx zone=)
Section 2 -- There is one walker in this section called guard Buldoral. Also your merchant is in this section (Henly Nicotropus)He should be killed about once a day to reactivate good prices on all the loot you will be selling to him. (very low lvl vendor) Anyway Buldoral is the only walker and you will get accustomed to the spawn rates and such of these sections. The only scary part about this section is the band of skelletons in the tavern that have potential to train if the guards near the black fenced gate walk even an inch towards the tavers from their spawn location. (I suggest pulling them away from the wall farther away from the tavern to kill them.) NEC is the best class for this method of money. There are 2 undead Flazms hit for about 80 here too, they can be dealt with inside the black fence first to avoid a mess. There are 5 guards in this section.
--Section 3-- Through another blue teleport thingy is section 3. Guards guards and more guards. The guard captain is here too and should be killed first to avoid any deaths of your character. He is the only walking guard in this section. He can be killed by dotting your hp to your pet, and shackling the enemy with shack of spirit and take his hp as necessary. You must be lvl 44 and have purchased summon companion from one of the vendors in East Commonlands tunnel prior to get around in this zone to kill guards in all 3 sections with 100% efficiency. The pets dont go through the blue port things. (sit pets before summoning)
This is the most dangerous section. Only attempt the subsection of section 3 that has a sign about "official business" If you are willing to take seroius risks. I only cleared this section once and had a lvl 54 mag with me. (I was lvl 44)
The rest of section 3 is fine. The exception is that dont pull guards close to the doors into the buildings, they will run into there and train all the lvl 56-60 guys they can out to get you. I usually get my pet real close and have him initiate the attack and then the guard wont run off anywhere (usually). Have gate and harmshield up, and if they run into the big building, gate out of there. 1 in 35 or so gates collapse, so know your way out, DO NOT be more then 10 under your max capacity of weight, and run to the elevator, stop, cast harm shield open the elevator, run to toxx and then hope it doesnt happen again. I just spent alot of time telling you about all the bad things that can happen, so necs are best in this tricky zone, and lvl 44 or more if going past section 1, pets are real good too (mag be good cause their pet take hits while gating in emergency, Nec pets die in 2 seconds) Well, that about sums it up, just kill the guards and sell thier items to vondor. Dangerous and boring. The most I made in one hour at lvl 44 is about 700pp

Well, good luck .

Hole Key
# Feb 24 2002 at 3:48 PM Rating: Good
Found the Hole key in Supperior Supplies, top floor, on Ralla Hapera, NPC merchant.

Cost to me was 126pp with only 75 cha

Hope this helps anyone who needs the key

BTW you need to be Amiable to the guards to get the key to Paineel, from the Skeleton guards in the newbie area: Guard Menbuknar

tell them: "I need a key" after hailing them

Not sure about the freeport folks, although I have heard that you can walk around there without doing any faction work... the only danger is going to north FP where the little gnome guy Zigg Finn like to run out and beat on evil types.

For Qeynos, I went to Blackburrow and killed gnolls -- lots of them (did nothing else for lvls 9 and 10). Would also cast debuff spells on those that others were fighting just to get faction (without the xp). Saved every gnoll fang I could get (NO DROP, and most others are collecting as well). Was finally dubious to the guards, at which point I could turn in gnoll fangs to guard in warrior guild for even more faction. Still have to worry about a couple of casters there though...

When you first go over, you will have to swim into the aquaducts, then make your way to North Qeynos, where you can ask for a bind outside of gates (may have to wait awhile).

As far as the elves are concerned... kill orcs. Not sure if you start out KOS to them (will check on that). Travel to Gfay is now much easier for poor lowbies with the Nexus (for those with Luclin). Enjoy, and explore.

you need to kill kobolds in the warrens or tox forest, it will raise faction and it will take awhile

# Sep 20 2001 at 6:36 AM Rating: Good
You'll start as Glares Threateningly. Kill Kobolds for almost 3 days (each session being 7 to 8 hours) to get to Apprehensive. While you kill Kobolds loot the molars off them when they drop. You'll need someone with a key to let you in to turn in the Kobold Molars to Royal Guard Lilkus in the palace. I turned in 18 Molars which got me to a high Indifferent faction. If you have 22 to 25 Molars it may take you to Amiable (I killed Kobolds for another half hour an got to Amiable). To USE the Key which can be gotten from the Skellie guards in the newbie area... put the key on your cursor, face the key rock and hit the "U" key on your keyboard. I recommend you carry at least 2 stacks of food and water, 3 would be better, before starting this as you will have NO place to sell to nearby.

Being a Dark Elf myself, i can tell you that you start out as glares threateningly. I've been killing Kobolds in the Warrens for 2 days now and i'm still glowers dubiously. Remember to go for quanity not quality when killing mobs for this purpose.

hello to all
got a problem with the travel to stonebount mountain

how can i get accross paineel !!!!!!!!!!!!!
o'm kos as a shammy of a tribunal and i'd like to travel to this new zone

txs for any answer

yoldana gloire au trubunal!!
RE: travel
# Sep 25 2001 at 4:32 PM Rating: Default
Yoldana, if that's your name,

You don't actually have to go through
Paineel to get to Stonebrunt. You
have to run through the "newbie garden"
and then through the Warrens.

Check out the maps at www.eqatlas.com
for more help. There are 2 guards
at the entrance to the "garden" so you'd
best invis to run between them, though
it is said it can be done visible, if
you're careful.

INVIS works on them, though they're undead,
I know because I am a KOS Erudite (working
on that via Kobold killing).

As a warning, to get to Stonebrunt you
have to run through/by the Throne Room
or King's Room in the Warrens, and there
are several kobolds who see through invis
courtesy of shaman NPC buffs, so unless
they're quite green to you, you may have
to haul patoot to the other side, or
be grouped and prepared to fight.

The ones that "always" seem to see invis
are flanking a doorway to the King Room.

Hauling butt may work better.


At lvl 30, nothing aggros (King might
if you got close enough, don't know)
and I think perhaps at 26-ish friends
have been safe.

It's a start.

I have run between the guards in the newbie grounds with several KOS characters, i have never been aggroed, even though i use no special caution.

All the named MOBs aggro even at L51, but the aggro range is very small and aggro is slow, so if you don't run into one of them, they do not aggro

To get your body, you need to get two or three groups of your level-50+ friends and fight your way to the boss of The Hole. I believe there is no other way.

# Sep 07 2001 at 8:33 AM Rating: Decent
well, should've known better. Casted invis to undead on myself which made guards "indifferent". when hailing, i get no response. I guess it's back to killing kobs then.
As for the key to the hole, i believe it's sold in paineel somewhere.
Also, i made an Erudite necro on my wife's computer as a mule to sell and change money. The key you receive from beginning is no drop ( should've known :)

is there a key to hole? where do you apply the key to get your body out? can a newbie get a key for you? if there is no way out of hole, there is no way to deal with this game. body decaying as i ask question.
RE: hole
# Jan 18 2002 at 1:58 PM Rating: Excellent
For those looking for the key, it's on an npc outside the bank in Paineel. It looks like a bag and not a key, so you have to right click on it to make sure it's the key you are buying, cost 100pp. No faction, no key!! And the key is no drop.

Thing is if you are traveling to the hole anyway...you are or should be taking a druid for evac. Just have him cast wolfform on you and it's easy in and out. No need for the key.

# Sep 06 2001 at 8:39 AM Rating: Default
well, you can also try this:

have someone cast invis to undead, camo or any other trype of invis spell on you. This will make you at least "indifferent" to the guards. You should then be able to hail them and get the key. I don't know if this works, but i'll try it today ( tired of killing kobolds in warrens ). At the moment I'm dubious to the guards. They will not give me the key yet, but after hailing them they at least don't attack. At first they were threateningly when i first arrived. Dunno how many kobs you need to kill, but i went from threat to dubios in about 2 hours of killing.

only thing about the camo/invis thing is, it suxs if you "feel yourself starting to appear" in the middle of a city where you're kos.*grin*

I fell into the hole when I wasn't paying attention to where I was AFing. After trying to levitate down (died from falling after I zoned) and shouting for someone to help me, I decided to try it myself one more time. I cast Divine Aura just before I jumped. It lasted for a few seconds after I landed, just enough time to find and loot my corpse. I then gated out as soon as it wore off. I hope this helps anyone that has the unfortunate experiance of falling down there.

For entering into the warrens you will pass two skeleton guards fairly closely but they have almost no agro radius you can practically stand on them without them attacking unless of course something else attacks you than they help, this is where they get you azzar habib is in the room directly above the opening that they are standing under, he has a very high agro area and will attack anyone without good heretic faction. The safest way to get through there and to the warrens is to enter with invisability while passing the guards this way you avoid azzar habbib from attacking you. And as long as no one else agro's you, you can pretty much kiss the skeletons almost and they won't agro either. Also another note of warning they may only con as about level 8 but they can double for over 100 so don't think that there easy kills as they will lay waste to you.

How do you open the elevator? I'm a newbie and I presume from reading this that you hail the guards but I can't find them anywhere near the lift. help pls
RE: newbie
# Aug 19 2001 at 5:04 AM Rating: Excellent
Make sure you get the bone key from one of the scele guards in the newbie garden. Hail them and say i need keys or something close to that phrase. Head to the fair size rock at the dead end right near the hole. Look right at rock, pick up key with cursor, and press U. That should do it. The guards near lift down the elevator also give you keys if you need. Man why they dont just let u call the elevator by clicking the stone while the key is in youre inventory who knows. Too easy i guess....
