Ogre/Troll advice

[Octopath]

Are there any noob quests for troll/ogre similar to cbbelts? Can they get wolf form and do Deathfist quests?

Could I take a ogre over to CB and kill enough orcs to have faction needed?

Yeah ogres can't be wolfed in kaladim and the alternatives don't exist yet and even they are annoying to prime up

Yes, because finding wolf form in WFP is a lot easier now.

Don’t pick a char based on race. Your play experience is 10000x more dependent on class.

For the purpose of EXP quest turn ins to 9 I believe the earth ele illusion pot from Cazic Thule is in, so you can farm one of those on your necro if you're 34+ with your pet. It should be a single spawn that pats to the area just before the apes and the temple in the maze from what I remember. Double check the wiki to make sure, there may be a couple of other lizard pats but I don't remember having any issue camping the thing on my mage w/o snare.

I'd recommend porting your dude around and doing some faction if possible, 1-4 on red wine in neriak and muffins in WFP (RZ/Agnostic ogres/trolls should be able to) to boost your elf reps. Then move onto belts wherever you prefer to level 8/9. SK will be the only one with faction issues regardless of deity for you (like in HK) and if you worship CT/Inny on either an ogre or a troll for any class you'll be adding onto your hated status somewhere I'm sure. Though Ogre classes can all do RZ I believe, even SKs, so there may be some boosts from that somewhere, but I'm no faction expert.

I would recommend warrior or shadowknight if you're just looking for a character that plays a radically different role from necro and that every non-raid group needs - with warrior being a better time investment with less versatility if you plan to play through Kunark and Velious. If you're interested in spending time doing tradeskills however Ogre RZ worshipper is what I recommend, and not just because you'll have more skill ups while raising them due to higher wis - you'll have a platinum sink in the form of alchemy, blacksmithing will get you some plat when cultural drops with RZ ogre armor and those 19 dmg magic 2hb you can sell by the bag to people leveling pet classes, and you'll have FSI for Kunark when torpor is in game which means you can farm your own black sapphires for JC endlessly in Sebilis along with all the other enchanters and shamans that will be soloing there.

I'd rather scratch my nuts with a cheese grater than play an untwinked warrior to level cap

Would you actually rather do that though

Not really but if someone held me at gunpoint I'd hesitate considerably

Warriors will always be the best tanks. The real issue is that people don't have the slightest clue at how to control their own agro anymore....exactly the type of players that wouldn't get / got kicked out of groups on live. Wizzys Mages etc dropping their massive nukes when mobs at 95%, rogues opening with backstab from 100%, rangers....well who knows wtf they do.....my point being, if you're getting agro from the warrior (assuming a decent warrior, not one of those taunt spamming morons), you are the problem, not the warrior.
