View Full Version : Leveling as an Erudite
Level 1-4, maybe 5 in the Paineel newbie grounds...
Levels 5-6 in Toxx
Levels 8 plus in Erud's Crossing.
I'm stuck trying to find a good place to level from 6-7. Giant snakes are massive undercons and are about the only thing that still gives exp in Tox because everything else is green.

There should be skeletons near Paineel that are level 5-6 or so, and you can level on those until 9 or 10. Erud's Crossing is good until like 18-20ish or so if you camp the kerrans on the beach. You could also sail to Qeynos and go to Blackburrow or the Karanas or whatever. Then there's Kerra Isle which is like a 10-25 zone, but it's not very well balanced and soloing there is nearly impossible.
Yeah but if I die which is very likely I'm all the way back in Paineel until I get bind

It's a hard knock life. I know I did 1-10 in Tox without much trouble last year on p99, and you can try Kerra Isle after that. Just wouldn't recommend going very far into that zone. Whoever designed it was a sick, unstable person.

Take boat to Qeynos, jump off befoe it hits the dock (assuming you're KOS).
Under the dock there is an entrance to the sewers. Zone in, run from G to A.
Kill gnolls.

You really just have to tough it until 12.

Take boat to Qeynos, level there. It takes 2-3 hours to get from 1-12. Just don't die.

I have a feeling a ton of Erudites are gonna be targeted in the Qeynos area for the lawls of sending them all the way back to Paineel :)

You can easily get to 12 in toxx forest. Go south of the river and smash those giant snakes. Giant snake fangs. Make money, hit 12 get bind go hit up the qeynos aqueducts for some int earrings.

I wouldn't bother leveling an erudite in the first week.
Basically you need to get to Qeynos to actually level decently. Toxx forest is fucking awful. And once you're in Qeynos on day 1 nobody will be able to bind you so any death you suffer sends you right back to Toxx forest.
Fuck that.

I would say GFay, but of course that is where a lot of the lower pvp will happen.

Leveling a Erudite is NOT hard at all. Kill trash in paineel newbie yard till 4, then take lvl 4 pet into toxx. Kill skels and kobold watchers/ scout camps/ etc. Then move on to giant snakes. Only downside is there aren't any lowbie turn in quests that net good exp + cash in the area.

I would think Misty or Qeynos.
I used to think Steamfont but Gnomes are PvP crazy and there will be way too many mages and necros getting their luls.

I managed 1-12 very easily just in Toxxulia. At 11, giant snakes are all light blues, but I was a magician and I didn't have the money for a lot of important spells I needed to be able to kill the wisps at Erud's crossing. The biggest spiders and beetles were anywhere from blue to yellow. I pretty much wandered around southern tox killing these things and and greens I found in order to raise money for spells. At 12, I had enough for lvl12 pet+lvl8 nuke and went to Erud's crossing and did the wisps and made about 200pp from 12-16 using the North Karana GLS quest.
Giant snakes are not massive undercons at 6-7 lol. At those levels you can even still get experience from Skeletons, which drop excellent loots.
But what if you're SK/Paladin :O
Then you're kinda screwed. Reroll races or find a guild who can bind you.
idk as a level 7 necro i was able to kill almost everything easily with a mix of pet tanking / me coming in and lifetap tanking when pet hp goes low except for giant snakes, which absolutely destroy my pet. maybe i'm doing it wrong

Erudites are the smartest people in Norrath! Figure out a way if you want to play one so much. It can be done!
Should I feel sorry for an erudite SK? Why? All meleers have to beg for a bind and risk being sent home before bound. You WILL need friends if you are a meleer.

It takes a special kind of masochist to play an erudite melee when you can't twink it with +str gear. It's like the second weakest race right after high elf and you'll be encumbered just from your armor. I guess you could put all your points in strength and get 85 which will let you carry three pieces of loot, but then you'll have like 70 stamina on a tank class...
can erudite and/or human necromancers 1) do the gnoll fang quest and 2) do the gnoll fang quests without becoming kos in qeynos aqueducts so i can still go to my guild

I do not believe the qeynos gnoll fang quest touchs your guild at all.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.
Your faction standing with Antonius Bayle got better.
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got worse.
Your faction standing with Circle Of Unseen Hands got worse.
Your faction standing with Merchants of Qeynos got better.
The moonstone quest then gives:
our faction standing with Karana Residents got better.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.
Your faction standing with Priests of Life got better.
Your faction standing with Knights of Thunder got better.

alla says that the necro guildmaster is bloodsabers AND corrupt qeynos guards but idk if that is a new thing or not. hope it's not true!
