I'm heading to Red. I've decided to try SK and have like 0 EQ PvP experience. Would I fare better with delicious regen or Ogre stun/stats?

I tried a little Wizard but casting nukes in a sheet just isn't my bailiwick. I need more than a dagger of the mind.

[Drakaris]

I always loved Iksar and definitely want to do the Greenmist quest in Velious.

Truth be told, most people min/max here and Iksar are one of the weaker races right now.

Troll and Ogre are on par in regards to most stats and their racials counter balance each other. Regen is better 1v1 against pure melee like rogues and monks, whereas stun immunity is good against warriors and other hybrids, since it will let you channel most spells against bash and kick stun.

Playing a non-slam race will also penalise you when going into Velious and using items like Tantor's tusk, since you will need to swap in an epic to bash casters in between swings.

[Macdeth]

Thanks for the tips! I love Iksar as well, but I was playing a nec on blue awhile and don't think I can take any field of bone right now.

[Not Salem]

Play what ever race you think looks coolest

[Smedy]

erudite is best sk for sure

most unique , check
black baller status , check
dat mana pool , check

thank me later and welcome young adventurer

[Potus]

Erudite Sk/Pal duo needs to wreck this server.

[BardPop]

Sk is not a beginner class, but if you must just choose ogre.

[Gnomegrown]

ogre, but you need gear to level

gnome wiz imo

[Not Salem]

Just a heads up any race shadow knight can accomplish the same PvE goals in the end game (tanked druushk with 20 people a an example) and as far as pvp is concerned you can find both my dark elf rogue and iksar shadow knight at the top of the leader board, from my experience I would say

Salem speaks truth, you will find my Shadowknight is also an Iksar with a better kill/death ratio, while avoiding killing players in rags.

It is a handicap, but you can work around it. Have main tanked Faydedar as an iksar with 6 and Dojorn with 12.

[Gotze]

In the same situation , just came from blue ; Any suggestions for a first farmer character?

[Latege]

If any of you new guys make it to the Freeport area hit me up and I can craft you some lower jewelry for free

[Not Salem]

if you are looking for skar on the leaderboard, just find my shadowknight beastagor at the top of the first page, then skip past the first 100 people on the first page, open the 2nd page, and scroll about half ways down!

any casting class really, so play whatever you know/like. if you insist on suggestions though; i'd say enc/shm/nec are great for farming.

[Kergan]

What is with all the blue->red threads the last 3-4 days? Cool don't get me wrong but like 5 created in the last 3 days.

[Tassador]

Lol farzo calling out beast in pvp. Grey beard is what 1-30 now get a kill already epic pally embarrassment.

[Stalos_]

Skar's russle bells ringing so hard he attempts another derail. Sorry OP but the hatred runs so deep in Skar for my pal Beastagor.

Play what you want and get in a group ASAP. Exp bonus is legit.

[Glenzig]

Blue gets very boring and annoying for a lot of people. I know for me I can't play hardcore, but I want at least a chance at holding an item camp now and then. Have fun trying that on blue. Too many passive aggressive people, too many rule lawyers even on low level camps, I looked at the raid scene and just got a headache every time. Stuff like that.

Pretty much this , and thanks for the suggestion guys for first class , still undecided lol

[Genedin]

If you make an SK as your first toon, I hope you make a caster that can solo as an alt you can play while waiting for hours to find a group since you can't solo for shit.


Thanks and welcome to red

[Kergan]

Keep in mind if you have some wealth on blue there are reputable folks who exchange currency/items between servers that may help you get a leg up here.

Yeah I was thinking about this. I don't have a whole lot on blue, but it would be at least a start. Who are these so called reputable people?

[Kergan]

I know Bob was doing it for awhile, not sure if he still is. I haven't done it myself so I'm not sure. Check the trade forums there are several threads in there.

[Glenzig]

What is the plat transfer rate at this time from blue to red?

[Genedin]

3:1

[Glenzig]

So 3 plat on blue to 1 plat on red?

[Eslade]

So 3 plat on blue to 1 plat on red?

Usually, yes.

[Glenzig]

Ok. Good to know. I'm sure item transfers are usually more worthwhile from blue to red. Just not sure I have anything that would be high enough value to warrant a transfer for most people.

[daasgoot]

just start playing and gear will come...

if you need help with a few starter items hit me up..

i transferred a bunch of plat from blue and still have like 20K on red sitting in the bank because im having too much fun pvp/playing the game to do any trading.

Yeah the more I think about it, the less I want to invest any time in the tunnel at all. Just gonna roll with punches.

[Kergan]

There is no tunnel on r99 bro. EC is a ghost town. OOC is global though and used primarily as a trade channel. There is very little low end market because trading on R99 is a pain in the ass (have to find a bank both parties can use, get ports, etc).

Then you have people like Sickpuppy/Mrbigs who disc instakill people right after a trade and steal their money back.

[Drakaris]

Why are you guys so defensive when I point out skars better k/d ratio and the fact that I only kill azrael (who claim to be a pvp guild that runs around ganking players in rags trying to exp) and their feeder members? Not a thread derail, just showing iksar sks can kick some arse, no need to cry about it :)

[Farzo]

Lol farzo calling out beast in pvp. Grey beard is what 1-30 now get a kill already epic pally embarrassment.

Lol says a blue player....careful now might die camping ur 20th darkforge armor set while afk watching a movie.


Huehue

[Not Salem]

skar def rustled, I'm trying to give new players perspective on the people who give opinions to new players, and you are trying to turn this into some ego / dick measuring contest

Yeah I know, I've been through ec tunnel on red. Its really weird that it isn't crammed with toons and green text. I was thinking more about tunneling on blue to have plat to xfer.

[Kergan]

Ah, I see. Keep in mind you can 2 box without breaking any rules if you have 1 character logged into each server. Feel free to play the EC Trader metagame while you're medding or something. :)

If it's dick measuring then we know I win because you're trying to over compensate by the number of fresh r99 players in rags you need to kill to feel good about yourself. :)

You went full stalker on me for 3 months while I was trying to level up with a gank crew, congrats! Agatha already filled me in that he got you to level 60 in the safety of his PL groups... ;)

Nice deaths btw you got more deaths than I have kills, I snortled when I saw this one:

When drak dies rl we will examine the kangaroo brain for faults and knowledge how to not conceive another child like this

Defamation—also calumny, vilification, and traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual person, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation.

The only physical contact I have with my wife is my hands on her tits and my cock in her snatch, oh and the occasional hug... didn't think I was that intimidating on the forums for you to think I was some psycho wifebeater.... Have you had your head checked?

[Drakaris]

Oh and the funniest thing is this:
Azrael show up with 25 players to contest, yet in this thread we see 5 of their members posting on this thread rustled as hell.

20% of their guild just spammed this thread including their co-leader (Salem).

Rustled, mad, sad and bad = Azrael :(

In before Tassador talks about domestic violence due to video games; I'm still happily married and cooked a family BBQ on Sunday with 20+ people, my immersion levels aren't as high as Azrael thinks... it's all good, Tassador can always go play Pokemon with Salem... LOL

You need a law degree in order to raid on blue, makes red 100x more appealing.

Allegedly back in 1999 on RZ Beastagor's dad PK'd Drakaris's dad and took his Blackened iron crown. Drakaris's dad got so angry that he punched his pregnant wife in the womb.

Yo Salem why in every screenshot are you 100% life and 80 mana with your combat log not containing a single hit back? Who screenshots afk kills bro? Not saying your not a good player but take a step back bro lmao

[Kastro]

ogre, but you need gear to level

gnome wiz imo

Actually all you need is a decent wep.. Mith 2 Hander ( 21/40 with 31% haste) is my fave as a leveling Ogre or troll SK.. Leveled a troll SK to 52 on Rallos Zek using mostly no drop guardian, guk trash, and a basalt carapace ( PKED and used other Breastplates, but easy come easy go )

Ogre SK is pretty fun.. even if you don't have a healer you can fear kite...

As far as Troll vs Ogre... Ogre is much better

[Macdeth]

Awesome thread. :)

I don't know about the SK I was always nec or shaman back in the day and may just go back to one of those. I tried playing a troll a bit and started getting bored. I know dotting on pvp will probably get dispelled quick; maybe I'll shaman it up and have sow at least.

Shamans can work too, just make sure you play troll or ogre... I recommend troll as always for the regen, but as an Ogre u can facetank mobs and channel... which is great when you get torpor later on...
