New Monk, saying hi and asking advice

[webrunner5]

You can sell stuff to a Vender in WFP secret area at the end of the left wall when you zone in from EC. As for Banking and selling to other venders in EC WFP you can sneak behind venders and sell and buy. Bank you can do the same or the old though the wall trick. But I would want FD before trying that to get past Guards. You can buy and sell to any Gypsy Camp. Oasis of Marr has a camp. Not far from EC Tunnel. And there is a vender in the back of the tunnel you can sell and buy from but he wants crazy prices for stuff and you get ripped of selling to him. The others I mentioned are normal prices.

I am pretty sure you can get wolf form and train at the outside Monk trainer in WFP? I know you can get to NFP in wolf form.

Update: Now level 23 and still leveling up in North Karana. Haven't found anything better for my level. I prefer to hunt where mobs are half green but still give exp/half very low dark blue cons so I can keep the fighting constant. Any suggestions for leveling in the next 5 or 10 levels?

I have the AC/HP rings a set of cured silk and a couple other cheap pieces (azure sleeves, collar of undead protection, drolvarg mantle). So now it's basically save all my money for FBSS? How much do those go for on this server?

In a few more levels I plan to do Treant Fists quests and finish up the Qeynos headband quests. Aside from that I'm not really sure if there is anything else I should be working on.

Thanks in advance.

Early 20s, I was hunting the Dark Elf guards in Nektulous, 7 total. When I got bored there, I also went to highpass hold and hunted gnolls. Heart spiders in upper guk are good for your level and some of the frogloks. Lake of Ill Omen would be good too.

Late 20s to late 30's I spent hunting guards in HighKeep. They always drop a fine steel weapon, there are vendors and a bank there.

Another new monk here. Far from a new player, been playing EQ since it came out until about 4 years ago, at that point it's been on and off. But figured I'd move over here instead.

I don't want to break any forum rules. But I also don't want to beat around the bush. It's a begging post. If anyone have some old stuff they feel they can spare to a completely naked Iksar Monk (level 2 atm) - send a tell to Nurhachi in-game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do the heart spiders have a poison ability? I tried hunting spiders in East Karana but got wrecked by the poison.

Does hunting guards in HHK hurt your faction? What's the earliest level you can start killing in HHK (with above gear limitations).

[eqravenprince]

Skip the spiders if soloing, I think I did them with a healer. HHK guards as long as they are named which most are, they only hurt your faction with HHK guards and the guards roaming HighPass. There are a couple unnamed guards on the upper floors, but even if you do kill them, I don't think it's a big faction hit. I hunted there for 10 levels and I'm not KOS to freeport or qeynos guards. Corrupted guards in qeynos, I believe I am KOS, but that could be from turning in gnoll fangs back in the day. You can start hunting them around level 25, I did, but it gets a hell of a lot easier around 28. When I first started hunting there, I was so paranoid about being KOS to guards, that when I got close to being KOS, I would go out and hunt gnolls and turn in scalps until I got my faction back up. I occasionally got experience on a gnoll, ringmail to sell, and money too.

Nice, sounds like with a little effort I don't have to worry about being KoS.

Haha not sure if you are being sarcastic or not =P.

I'm at high keep now at level 25. There is really only a couple of guards I can handle, and too much downtime for my tastes.

I tried killing Orcs outside, despite them being mostly green thy tend to spawn so fast I get overwhelmed. I somehow managed to feign death with NEGATIVE 4hp to save my ass from an orc medic who thankfully decided to slow me instead of meleeing.

Going to head to Gorge/Runnyeye area and see how I fair there while I take a crack at the quest spawns.

[Aaramis]

Just started here 2 weeks ago as an Iksar monk as well, coincidentally. For the new lizards, FoB offers amazing tailoring opportunities. The spiderling crypt mentioned already will get your skill to 21 asap, and then at level 6 or 7 you can mass slaughter bonecrawlers in the pit for silks.

Heady kiolas are trivial at low 40ish brewing, and is easy to get to in an hour or 2. Maybe 3 or 4 plat cost total to get there, which is easy to make (hint: decaying skeletons carrying shields are your money makers).

From there, make your own cured silk, and then save up for weapons. I've seen people auctioning their Dalnir / CoM spoils frequently in FoB, so you should be good.

Happy hunting!
