Early leveling as a Dark Elf Ench - where to?

[IceTwenty]

Currently level 5, and I figured I'd hang around East Commonlands and kill random stuff until I was high enough to join an orc group. But it's not going that well; too many greens/reds, not enough blues/whites, and there's a lot of other people here to share farm with.

So I'm wondering if I should keep at it here (maybe go snag some buffs from the tunnel bazaar) or go somewhere else, like back to Nektulos.

If I really wanted to have an adventure, maybe I could pick up the Half-Elf Illusion spell and get myself ported to the Faydark - I at least know that area quite well, having played nothing but Wood/High elves back when I played on live. But I don't know the details of how illusion spells work, and even if an illusion would let me not get shanked by guards, would it also let me access Kelethin/Felwithe merchants and class trainers?

I wouldn't go to Faydwer and kill orcs, because you'll mess up your Neriak faction.

What's your deity? That'll factor into your faction standing while in the illusion. If agnostic you should be fine while Half-elf to most good city guards.

The faction change is insignificant, really. Unlike most cities, the Dark Elf Warrior guild (Indigo Brotherhood) are a different faction from the guards (Dread guard inner/outer). Just avoid the warrior guild and you'll be fine.

I suffered from this a lot last week when I started my first char on P99.

There isn't a great answer here honestly. You just need to find things you can safely handle and slay as much as you can until 7 or 8. At 7-8 people will start to accept you for the WC Orcs or the EC Orc camp.

North ro might have some 5-6ish mobs.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about Crushbone orcs giving negative Neriak faction. And I'm agnostic, incidentally.

As long as you're Agnostic, you won't have any trouble using your illusions to walk around in unfriendly cities. Enchanters are a "neutral" class so as long as you're agnostic and appear as a race friendly to that faction, you won't be KOS.

At this level, familiarity probably trumps everything else in my opinion.. I'd go back to GFay and do the orc hill -> Crushbone route. If this is your first character (or if you need the money) you can save and sell the belts and pads for some decent cash.

If you are adventurous. hit up Field of Bone and Kurn's. They are the best newbie areas by far and will carry you to 20 with ease.

As a troll, I got up to level 9 in Innothule Swamp. Grab a sow and head down to Grobb and ask for a bind there. Kill frogloks and Kobold Hunters (at the Hand). Also check out this thread for ideas: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=126844

in my own experience CB was best until 12 and then charm solo.

I'll probably do that, then.
