There is zero reason to skip Kaesora 34-42+ and get your feet wet charming. You can be done with the zone when the church (Xalgoz) area greens out. Get your HS key piece and maybe a fear staff to boot. I wouldn't recommend gung-ho solo Xalgoz right off the bat, but with enough time spent there you're bound to run into folks coming in looking to acquire a key. Just team up.

Bind outside for emergency gates + a short run over to Cab for selling / spells / restock.

Also recommend camping the VP key pieces while they still give XP after Kaesora. I forget which order from easiest to hardest (wiki it), but why not at least get the pieces while it gives xp? Even if you don't want to raid, if you have the full Jarsath and Obulus MQs to sell thats a big chunk of plat.

Went there at 35, the Dungeon itself is so confusing.... Died on my 2nd pull of mobs, can't really find the undead side, i found a spectral guardian, i did charm him, i made him fight a spider, charm breaks, FD gets cancel cause spider casts spell in the last second of my FD, 2 roots resists, 3 gate interrupts (i was against a wall)... I don't really know how good this place is, but sure i do hate that there is minimal space to kite and also it does really look so confusing and easy to get lost.

FWIW, that sounds like the typical learning to charm experience:-/ It's tough to figure out (or it was for me anyway), but you feel super OP once you get it figured out.

I'm case you weren't already doing some/all of this, I figured I'd provide a couple of tips that help make things easier. If you're already doing all this, then ignore me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

1-Root your target as soon as you have him positioned where you want him. That way, when charm breaks he and your former pet don't both run over and start beating on you.
2-Keep your pet targeted except to check the HP of what you're trying to kill. That way when charm breaks, you don't have to scramble to target him
3-The moment charm breaks start casting Screaming Terror on your pet. In my experience, he may interrupt you once, but probably not twice, even if you aren't positioned against a wall. As soon as Screaming terror lands recharm him.
4-When fighting casters try to hide behind corners to LOS them when you don't actively need to cast on them.
5-I don't keep Gate on my bar, though I do keep HS. Just a matter of preference I'm sure!

While deaths in your 30s and 40s feel rough, you're wise to get the learning curve out of the way now instead of in your 50s...like this dumb necro I know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Stick with it! You'll feel like a rockstar when you get it figured out

You don't kite anything while charming.

You charm a mob, attack other mobs. Keep target rooted so when charm breaks you're only dealing with your break.

Are you on blue? I'd be happy to give you a quick tour of Kaesora.

There is no better place to do 35-42 ish if you can get proficient charming.

How do you manage the first room on the right, when you drop down from the entrance? Every time I go there I find at least one Briarweb Spider that sees through standard invis. Am I supposed to just run past and try to lose aggro with FD? 35 Nec btw.

I would basically recommend never leaving kunark and playing kunark as a separate game which it basically is.

when the fuck is the kunark iksar only pvp server coming out?

I did try the Iksar exiles spot and then the Servant of Sythrax spot, very solid xp places, at least Sythrax does drop words that can be useful for some spells.

I went to the Warren's and can now vendor and purchase spells in paineel... wouldn't look back honestly

Just to put in my 2cp about Nurga: it's rough. Quite doable as a 34 Necro, but it is butthole clenching. Between all the dots, nuking, dispel, and harmtouch, every fight besides Whipcrackers is very risky. I got about 40% of a level there and didn't die, but came damn close a few times. The EXP is quite good, and the loot is decent, but man is it a rough spot to fight. Getting pretty much any class to come duo it with you would make it amazing.

[Chortles Snortles]

anyone that says live in kaesora starting @ 34 or sythrax charming is lying to you (or did it before current green era where shit is actually fixed and tuned)

Here’s my IKS NEC experience TO DATE

24-34 warslik woods brute caves fear kite EZ MODE (or fort groups)
34-35 dalnir (iksar forsaken area deep in, oddly enough is doable)
35-40 timorous deep (the great oompwomp fear kite EZ MODE)
i am here now deciding on the following:
40-50 city of mist or kaesora (44-50 kaesora charm EZ MODE)
