Velious for Beginners.

[Daldaen]

I can't wait to see the Velketor AE groups forming at entrance. Tag a spider in top and jump down, proceed to AE train $$$.

Or the 5 Torpor shamans camping alice & wonderland for Thrones.

Are the mobs for the CS key threatening to start as well? I don't remember if I had to do any faction work before that quest

bards and enchanters can get non kos with faction song/spell

Only the Coldain won't try to kill you when you first set foot onto the continent. The other two factions, giants and dragons, are threatening at the start. If you're in wolf form, the Coldain will try to kill you because strange wolves are bad.

rallos ogres will be non kos giants and kos to dwarves. not sure about other races with rallos diety

I hope the GMs are well prepared and have fresh keyboards, they're going to be doing a lot of typing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

SG is more or less the HS of Velious.
DN is Seb.
Velks is KC.

This is a perfect analogy, but Velks was shittier than KC. It is a great place if you can go there alone or if the entire zone is full of people who know how to play, but the icy bits/invis mobs and other little traps mean idiots are going to be CONSTANTLY fucking it up for everybody.

What's really going to suck is that it's going to be incredibly difficult to get past Skyshrine for a long time. I expect 300 people standing around Ziglark with javelins ready to go for about the first 6 months after Velious releases. Which means unless you're ready to deal with that, you're going to be stuck in the "worst" of the high-level dungeons. May as well stay in Kunark to level to 60, really.

I'm pretty sure Veeshan-following Humans are dubious.

Ziglark will be set Invulnerable and Indifferent to all players for the first month of Velious. Meaning anyone can get a key.
