Question about lvl 1 zone in halas. Is it just me ore my install ? am i doing something wrong? I do remember being able to kill solo on the first mobs and get a couple of levels . I cant kill the smallest of the small mobs as a war. what am i missing?

[Whoop]

Make sure you "con" the mob before attacking it. Go for blues and maybe whites if you feel lucky. Stay away from yellows and reds. If this isnt working then yea, you are doing something wrong :)

Its your install you should re install your entire computer 3 times then try again

[Jimjam]

Equip your weapon.

Trolling new players? Stay classy.

There's a bit of luck involved at level 1, particularly outside Halas. I found trying to kill spiderlings there would just mean 3-4 more would turn up to ruin my day, and the higher skeletons loved to join in too :p

Everfrost might be the hardest starting zone in the game thinking about it :p

Everfrost *IS* the hardest starting zone in the game, maybe save Tox for Erudite Necros pre-Paineel. Nektulos is reportedly the worst (few spawns). I do recall the zone next to Shar Vahl being brutal, but Luclin isn't on P99.

Iksar have 4 zones to choose from. We lizards have it easy. (The best is FoB; Loio is OK; WW has a lot of high-level wanderers; SoNH is fairly bad.)

The worst starting zone has to be Ghetto Faydark, however. Sure it's convenient...but it's...so noisy.

Equip your weapon.

Actually a legitimate comment. My first EQ character ever was a Barbarian warrior. After I finally figured out how to wait for the ferry in Halas, after drowning multiple times, I managed to head out into Everfrost and be subsequently slain by every single mob I encountered.
I went to school and complained to my friends who played EQ. They informed me about equipping a sword.

It's like the only starting zone that immediately reached you about pulling to safe spots, and that's why barbarians are the best (after hobbits).

A friend recently rolled a Barbarian Rogue, and immediately had me come pick her up and get her out of Everfrost lol.

OP, if you are interested in moving to another zone just let me know and I can come help you out.

My favorite starting zone for Level 1 is West Freeport :)

[Worry]

Lol Everfrost is just really hard, probably the toughest.

Pull spiderlings to safe spots and heal up in between pulls.

[Arvan]

Yeah Everfrost really separates the wheat from the chaff. If you can come out of there alive and lvl 10 or whatever then you're ready for any dungeon.

As an EQ rule of thumb, stick to killing blue con mobs, however, at level 1 you should attack white mobs. To con a mob, target it and hit the "C" button. Never try to kill yellows even if you think you can take them...they won't be worth it.

Stick to white and blue con mobs at your level (level 1-5). Mostly just try to kill blue cons though.

[Snaggles]

Honeybee is right, Everfrost/Halas sucks. It’s only passable later for people killing elephants and ice giants.

PM me if you aren’t out of there yet. I’ll come get ya. Plenty of warrior guilds to train you.

[soronil]

I disagree, I just leveled a barb shaman to 5 and thought it was a pretty decent zone
The great thing is that the polar bear skins off the bears can be turned in for patchwork armor, by level 5 you are running through blackburrow in a full set of patchwork

My only complaint about the everfrost newbie area is the roaming red skeletons and the somewhat confusing nature of the canyons. I did keep my map up the whole time i was there.

[Madbad]

prolly easier to just run to qeynos to level

Thanks for that contribution, Madbad, and nice Naked Mole Rat avatar.
