Hail, P99.

My name is Tralina and I while I am very excited for the Kunarks to come out this week, I have a small problem.

You see, I was just a wee baby when Everquest first came out. While I ran around the world of Norrath for a short amount of time (Before my brother booted me off his account), I never made it to the Kunark era. My classic EQ knowledge was limited, but somewhat existent. This is not so true for the Kunarks. I am a druid of the 50th level, LF level 60. AND HERE IS WHERE MY PROBLEM LIES. What zones does one go to at level 50? How successful will my guild <Rants & Flames> be, with the limited roster I have? Where do I buy my spells? Why don't iksar females have tits? When can I start poopsocking? Do I need to poopsock to get my epic? Do druids get rad spells in Kunark? How the balls do you even get to the Kunarks? Are there bixies in the Kunarks? Is there something similar to the EC tunnel where I can idle all day while people run past me in awe of my existence? Are paladins cool in the Kunarks? I have one of those.

SOMEONE HOLD MY HAND THRU THE KUNARKS, I NEED HELP.

Awesome post. You made me smile. Except for reminding me I'm decades older than you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As you're a Druid, I'd say explore, explore, explore. The zones are huge, interesting, and there's a lot of them. I was a 49 troll warrior when Kunark first came out (chanter this time) and I went running everywhere with just my jboots, but I actually dinged 50 in a Sol B group a few days later, as there were suddenly XP groups galore. Old world zones like Sol B and LGuk are still good for XP from blues 51-52-ish (and then solo - eventually I could solo my way right through to Naggy).

Karnor's Castle (notorious for trains) will probably be great for XP groups, but it depends on the crowds. There are a lot of animals for druidy soloing in zones like Emerald Jungle and The Overthere. I found things tended to hit a lot harder in Kunark at first though, so beware. You're used to blue cons that are a few levels lower than you, and now you're fighting blue cons that are level 48-50.

Re your guild, what you'll want for the next few weeks/months is a regular group. A cool clique that meets regularly to do dungeons for XP. So if you've got a small guild, they'll probably divide up into even smaller groups for a while. Some people may get left out and feel offended, but in the long term everybody learns to work better together against harder mobs and it's good for the guild.

People will want to do Old Sebilis right away (probably the nicest long-term XP group dungeon in Kunark), but from memory it's not a good idea until 52+. But speaking of memory, I quit EQ in 2002 so I'm seriously rusty.

5. wtf is poopsocking

The hopefully mythical practice of playing/grinding XP so hardcore that you don't leave your chair, even to... Instead, you... um, a sock is involved.
