Seeking starting advice

It lasted like 15 minutes and was more than enough to get me through the zone, though it's a little twisty. Really exciting, actually. That run on my bard is the most fun thing I've done in an MMO since the original EQ.

Also, thanks for the note about the pets. I'll see if I can't manage to find a partner to test it out with tonight.

Ahhhh...the Cloudy Potion right? For some reason, I thought the potions weren't classic. Thanks for the info!

The easiest way to get from Qeynos is:

Qeynos>Qeynos Hills>West Karana>North Karana>South Karana>Lake Rathe>Rathe Mountains>Feerrott>Innothule Swamp>South Ro>Oasis>North Ro>East Freeport

You can do the run at level 1 if you have a SoW. Just watch out for Kermyt in Lake Rathe.

if i could give one piece of advice to melees starting out on this server, it would be to be as proactive as possible. since about level 8 or so i've rarely been in a group that i haven't formed myself -- primarily for the reason that you mentioned above. go out and grasp your own destiny, good luck!

If I could also give one piece of advice, it would be that any time you see Karsten, run up to him and /dance so you can get a sweet free high-five.

It's totally rad, dawg!

Well, would ya look at that. I wonder if the people who directed me through the intensely hostile zones were less well-informed or just laughing hysterically.

Maybe a little from column a, little from column b...

There is a gnoll camp in Lake Rathe just when you zone in from S. Karana.

It's been a while, but I think they are hostile. They might be those Rodcet Nife worshipping gnolls though.

I'm not sure why he posted that. Maybe he is right, but to me it is much better to run the northern route. The grotto is pretty easy to run through if you have sow, and you aren't in Runnyeye long. If you are evil you would have to go through Rivervale though.

Highpass is quicker, but you would need invis of some sort to get through there if you are low level.

When you zone from South Karana to Lake Rathe.. you can run up the wall to avoid aggro.

I actually meant the folks who directed me through a black forest full of red, snarling things which led to the caves full of green snarling things, which led to the potion purchase.

The route listed here is far more accessible.

See, but then you wouldn't have had this:

Here is a really useful map for people unfamiliar with the how to get from one zone to the next. I cannot remember where I downloaded this map from so I am unable to give proper credit, but it isnt like I am claiming that I made it or anything.
*EDIT: As you can see by looking at the map(however I was oblivious to it) created by Arcke Taggins of Povar
