The Eq devs were really tripping when they were making dagnor's cauldron.

I just hate everything about it.
-its like a freaking maze
-when youre at a low level and youre trying to get to unrest, you will likely get killed on the way since there are a lot of mobs there that are higher than you and will agro you
- everywhere looks the same, so its hard to find your corpse manually
-seems to have no thought put into it

Everquest is one of my favorite games of all time and one of the best in the world, but some zones are just kinda lousy imao.

Heh, way back when, it had another really annoying "feature" in that most people would hug the edge of the water and swim into the water when they needed to avoid enemies. Well back then if you got a ping spike just as you were about to enter water you would fall through the water and go splat on the bottom, instant death. Enjoy your CR at the bottom of the water with a zone that looks almost the exact same all the way around.

Dagnors Cauldron really is a pretty terrible zone. Lake Rathtear blows man dick as well.

the experience innothule swamp, upper and lower guk can offer a troll 1-50 is amazing enough to be its own game

start with tadpoles, die to wizards, kill the king?

best in EQ

You can't know terrible and pointless until you experience Mons Letalis.

How the hell did you get lost in a circular zone?

Sacer · #9 03-03-2019, 03:31 AM

Yeah the zone is terrible, but really it's pretty easy to navigate between the lake in the middle and sense heading you should not get lost. Also if you're a low level ask for a sow and lev at BB ring and go over the lake you should have no problem.

It's fairly easy honestly if you know a couple of landmarks... the 4-man camp that kills everything in sight is the key to getting back to Butcher, and you go counter-clockwise from that camp until you see a big hole in the mountain which is Unrest.

From Unrest, you know that Kedge Keep is not far below from a straight line out of the hole in that mountain.

If you miss either of those landmarks, do a lap.

Dagnor's is actually a bard race track...
