Starter weapon quest?

[Panna]

Is there a recommended quest anyone does on fresh characters that can upgrade rusty sword? I'm a Qeynos Ranger.

[Zehrikrom]

Usually it's just hailing the class trainer or someone else in the same building.

Hail, [adventurer]! Have you considered doing the most profitable [quest] of all? Legend has it the eastern commonland dweller has a particular [taste] for those of the female wood elf persuasion. Polishing a few [swords] should earn enough platinum pieces to afford your own!

Dont need a short sword >_>

[Jimjam]

Follow Zehrikrom's advice, specifically visit Corun Finisc in Surefall and follow his text, asking him [who is destroying them] which will lead to him mentioning his crook. If you ask him 'what about your crook'. He will explain it's been taken and broken in two.

The gnoll hunter in qeynos hills can drop a top or bottom half of a staff when slain, get both halves and return them to Corun for a reward.

You may find sharpening a rusty two handed sword will be better dps against a lot of stuff though.

If you are adamant to stick in the area you won't be too likely to find players selling equipment suitable for you. This isn't too much of a problem as Qeynos has some pretty decent sources of cash for a newbie. Save up 50pp and visit North Karana to buy a combine weapon from the gypsie camp. This may seem a lot but combine weapons resell to NPCs for about 90% of what they vendor for, so once you get rid of it you'll only be down by around 5 plat.

Thanks for the help, definitely after that crook now :)

Also combine 6/28 is pretty sexy considering the level

Yea, it makes beating up those willowisps much easier :).

Speaking of willowisps, if you kill any with your crook in qeynos hills keep hold of the greater light stones. You can give them (one at a time!) to one of the NK gypsies. She will give you a spell research combiner that you can sell for close to 10pp. The XP for this quest is very good too.

also level off of bandits in west karana in your teens. you can turn the sashes they drop in for exp and bronze weapons for some very nice starting cash.

If you decide you want to leave the Qeynos area, one place you can try is Kurns Tower. It's a long journey, I'd recommend teaming up with a high level druid; he can port you to the Dreadlands, then you can run with him to Karnors Castle (use spirit of the wolf, levitation and camouflage) for an evacuation to the Emerald Jungle. From there have him escort you to the Field of Bone. He will be able to bind you next to the half elf outside the ruins of Kaesora.

Kurns tower will drop a few low value stat leather/chainmail type items as you level up. What you will really be after, though, is the Iksar Berserker Club that drops from the an Undead Jester. This weapon will last you a long time. Whilst in the area, there is a burynai cutter in Field of Bone that you can track from outside Kurn's Tower. He can drop a Polished Stone Anklet. This is a magic foot item that will allow your kicks to damage magical creatures.

I've just remembered another fairly easily acquirable weapon; whilst chilling in the Karanas keep an eye out for the Ghoul Messenger (I think he spawns in the east side of West Karana and moves around close to the path there). Keep refreshing /who whilst in the zone, if you see a player in their 30s (or above) ask them if they will help you kill this ghoul. Take the strategic map of Kithicor it drops to Morin in Kithicor forest to be rewarded with the Short Sword of Morin.

I definitely want those 2 weapons. I saved enough coin for a port Qeynos > WC and tried some hunting around EC.

But, at level 5 it was more reliable to just repeat the diseased wolf pelts quest in QH til' I can kill gnolls in BB at some point. At least now I have some things to look forward to on my radar with this help. Really appreciate it.

Sharpening stone quest.
Rusty sword + sharpening stone + forge = tarnished sword.
Save all that time running for whacking and collecting plats.
Then just go do the EC quest for a 30pp sword faster that way.
Always the quickest path is the direct path.

really easy quest, real classic, and not bad really man, cheers

[Nirgon]

Ask for something in EC tunnel.

I might even open my bags to you if you make the trek and no one helps you.

I'm a man of my word, PM me.

that thing is rad

[Nubben]

If anyone does decide to go the Bull Smasher route, one thing to be careful of is that the weapon is not considered Magic, meaning you won't be able to hit wisps, ghouls, and the like with it. Other than that, it is a great lowbie weapon for the few races/classes that can use it.

[sox7d]

use that rusty sword until a passing 60 throws a silver swiftblade/jagged chokidai spine/sword of skyfire at you

[Panna]

Pace is crawling but at least with Crook I can kill blues and not wonder if I have to run away mid fight.

[Shagtybie]

Is there a Magic weapon for a Bard?

[Panna]

It's not a quested item but 5/27 Greater Snake fang from BB. If you're near BlackBurrow atm I can get one for you.

those female wood elves can polish my sword anytime

[Shagtybie]

Thanks but I got one in EC. Now I need to work on armor. More like getting Plat for Armor and lvling.

[Clark]

Get port to EC. Use EC Tunnle buffs 1-20. Should be able to find a high level to give you free weapon too.
