New to 1999 - Want to do a Ogre Shaman / Iksar Monk duo
 

Hi,

Me and my brother just found out about project 1999 after being off EQ since well Velious. We've decided to do a classic shaman / monk duo but the problem is he wants to be an Iksar Monk and I want to be an Ogre Shaman. The difficulty is we'd like to play together from level 1 ideally which is difficult given our factions and starting zones.

The solution I came up with is that I would get my Ogre monk to Cabalis somehow and then he'd handle all the vendor stuff until some level later when we'd move on and start trying to fix our faction in the good cities.

So my question is, is it even possible to get a level 1 Ogre to Cabalis and if yes what's the best route to take?

You're honestly better off doing it the other way. Have him haul his butt over to Antonica and you take care of the vendoring. The leveling will be better and you need access to Oggok for your spells.

Good luck!

well just put everything in the bank and there is no real death penalty but you may die a couple times trying to get there, id recommend trying to enlist a druids help from these forums...once you are in field of bone you can bind in the arena outside of the kaesora zoneline and just let your brother handle the vendor stuff

iksar shaman guild will have your spells and the monk trainer is in cabilis, you are going to be pretty short on gear for awhile probably

Iksar Shaman. You are welcome.

Or have his brother buy the shaman spells in cabalis if he really wants to be an ogre ;)

probably better off going iksar shaman.. Without Druid ports that run would be nasty. But it's possible. Either way welcome to the server guys!

Like it was mentioned, you probably both should roll iksar. The racial traits benefits
both of your classes greatly and solves your distance issue before it even becomes an issue :D

Got a gnome to cab at 5, best advice would be run along waterfronts in oasis, OT and warsliks, except for that part in the middle of warsliks on the waterfront where there's an iksar npc on a little island

Even with the help of a higher level it would be a difficult trip, but it can be done

And ofc make sure to move with caution just inside fob things can be rough at 1 in the area near ww zl

*edit* I took ec>nro>Sro>timorous>OT>warsliks>fob

You won't be able to run a lvl1 char into OT due to the zoning restrictions. You would either have to lvl1 the character to lvl5.
