The schedule plans on first Friday each month for a big patch. For may it happens to be the 1st so thats likely.

One thing: theres two of you. This means if you get to 35 getting a guise might be easy, since you can guarantee not dying by doing shifts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thank you Cen, that is valuable information to have.

I am a min/maxer at heart, but this time around I wanted to play a character I really enjoyed.

I was choosing between Human and Dark Elf, so I figured why not have both? Lol

Also I am interested in any advice or tips you may have for quickly "cheesing" my way to 35. I know I don't have much time, but at this point I have plenty of it. So if this is possible for me to get 35 levels in 20ish days, I am for sure gonna try for a Guise regardless of the line size.

Sure, I have until May 1st to successfully get into the /list for Guise. I wanted to twink my warrior this time around for fun since I didn't get to do it on live, but we have come to the conclusion I have to play from scratch because I don't have the time to level my friends Druid and also PL a Warrior.




Sorry for the confusing TL;DR. I have OCD and it causes me to give too many details often.

Unless anyone has any better ideas, we are going to start duo leveling tomorrow. Any advice on fastest possible exp other than ZEM is appreciated. Regardless of how the camp goes, I think it is at least worth a shot.

Honestly Warriors are gimp when it comes to tanking. I say this having one myself, as well as playing the class that pushes tanks aggro's to the limit and then some. I've grouped with warriors with yaks, with obsidian daggers, with minimal weapons and honestly there isn't a lot of difference they still have a hard time holding aggro. They mitigate very well but that's about it. So while warriors are "gear dependent" they really struggle to hold aggro twinked or not compared to a paladin or sk.

I'm not saying Warriors are bad tanks, they are the ones that are chosen mostly to raid tank, but that's when they have other clickies, and aggro enhancing things to burn to hold aggro on a dragon or something like that. They are THE tanks for the most part, they are just a struggle holding aggro no matter what you twink them with.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is if you want a Warrior in the end you might as well roll one now. You will still get groups, tanks are hard to find. And this way you will have the character you want faster rather than relying on the power level of a character that takes a fair amount of time to level themselves.

I would suggest starting in Gfay area, sell crushbone belts, don't turn them in, use them for currency. You can easily get 20-30 belts in CB in a couple hours, that's enough plat for almost an entire set of banded or bronze gear which can set you up mitigation wise until close to 50. Then from there get you a couple of decent weapons on the cheap and you're a solid tank. Aggro will still be a problem but it's always a problem with warriors. Taunt isn't reliable and when it does work you have nothing to separate you from anyone generating aggro so you just lose it again.

More often than not warriors are used as a dps class, keeping their health in the berserk mode for dps. I've spent more time being a DPSer on my warrior than tanking. It's rough for the first 20 levels but you start getting groups in places that drop more cash and you get items to sell it becomes a little easier to gear yourself. By the time youre 35 you have a decent set of gear because you don't have spells to buy

I would give your human warrior 300pp and do the water quest in Qeynos til 12 during the day and at night use an alt to kill kolandl fish and loot on your warrior to turn in. Have your Druid sister farm scalps off orcs in highpass for when you ding 12. Turn them all in at 12 then go back to doing fish quest, non stop. At this point have Druid bind in Qeynos kill gnolls in SK and collect scrolls for you to turn in(can gate to you and port back to NK) All while you switch back an forth from alt to kill the fish and loot on human. You will be 35 very very fast this way. High rate xp from quest alone add on top someone else collecting further lvl boosting quests.

What level should her Druid be to comfortably farm the orc camps in HPH (non named)?

I will research the Kolandl Fish camp and the Water Quest in the meantime.

She is 16 at the moment, do you think that is high enough for her to PL me to level 10 at least? Well, we are about to get started on the mega grind. If I didn't love this game so much and have a duo partner, Idk if I would be able to do it, but I think if I dedicate myself and push through the rough phase of the game, I can get it done.

Thanks for the encouragement and excellent quest recommendations for quick leveling.

I am making this Warrior with the long term in mind, meaning end game Velious content. I am completely aware of the problems Warriors have in the Classic timeline, but I plan to push through that and achieve my goals.


We plan to be a part of the community here and are some of the friendliest people you guys will meet. Any friends of ours will have SoW and Clarity on sight if you recognize us. We plan to PL newbies, give away plat and gear eventually and be as much of a positive influence on the server as possible.

I have no doubt that I will be tanking raids for a top 3 guild at some point in the not so distant future. I will put in the work required to earn the respect and trust of my future guild mates. I don't know how many more chances I will have at this, so I really want to make it count this time.

Thanks again to those who have given their opinion and advice. I am one of those people that takes time to get the wheels turning, but once we become a well oiled machine, we will 100% be contributing to making this game as close to as fun as it was back then as possible for ourselves and anyone we play with.

Any other tips/suggestions are welcome as I will be checking this thread regularly in the meantime.

Also, I know I may sound like Mr. Nice Guy, and I am, but I just want to get our foundation built before I start memeing around with the boys on the forums.



Side Note:

I noticed there is a guild named <Lineage> on the server. Lineage : The Blood Pledge is one of my all time favorite MMORPGs of all time and I thought I was one of the only non-Koreans that actually played the game. Sadly because of NCSOFT saying that the NA subscription base was not a sustainable business venture for them, they closed down the live servers several years back, yet it is still alive and well over in South Korea.

I just wanted to acknowledge that they are the first guild that has caught my eye, because the game Lineage holds a very special place in my heart. If they happen to be a raiding guild with open applications, it would be cool to be a part of a guild that has members in it that I can identify with and relate to. I could be completely off base and this could just be a private group of friends, but just in case they are an actual raiding guild, I figured I would try my luck and apply in the future when I hit 50.
