When could a Bard solo at Befallen?

And is it worth it to try to run from Qeynos to Freeport? Which is the best route?

I'm not sure anything can solo Befallen really. The mobs are pretty packed in to groups and train easy, so it's designed to be done by groups. Your only chance of soloing is if you outlevel it and it becomes pointless anyway, or if you are super pro and go super careful with lull type spells or something. And even then, it's an awful lot of effort, which compared to the alternatives probably makes it not worthwhile. But yeah, if you are lucky enough to find a good group to go there, it can be great!

As for Qeynos, isn't that whole region pretty dead in terms of players? It could probably be pretty fun out there if you are a solo king, especially in places like Blackburrow or whatever. But if you are looking for groupage, then yeah, get over to Freeport asap. You just need to make the long run across West Karana (easy as a bard, just steer clear of mobs and keep runnin). Once in NK you can either hang around and wait for a kind person to show up and port you, or if you have invis of some kind (I forgot when bards get invis song?) you can can carry on running. If you do the latter you go across NK to the far bridge. Then run through all those big mobs and run up the big long ramp to high pass. Then invis past all the gnolls, past high keep and past all the big orcs, and out in to Kithicor forest. Then if its daytime head straight through, if its night you better hug the zone wall very closely and be careful to avoid any mob you see. Then you'll be in West Commons, and again take care to head through to East Commons and that's where you are almost there. Remember to get a bind [You must be logged in to view images.

Freeport is a good base of operations because if you are blessed with patience, you can get anywhere. You have N Ro, commonlands, befallen, oasis etc.. all on your door step. And then just a boat ride gets you to Faydwer if you want to do Crushbone / Unrest. Although if you decide to do that, then best to bind again there.

It's a fairly big journey but you only need to do it once. And even all that distance, I would be surprised if the whole journey took you longer than about 40 minutes or so.

p.s. If you can't invis or you are unsure of where to go, your best bet is to get to North Karana and get a port. There are lots of very kind wizards and druids on this server, and one will maybe already be there, or show up soon, or you could try your luck doing "/who wiz 35 60 all" and see if any are hanging around in a town or east commons, and then you could try asking if they would come and help a newbie. You can do the same with druids too. Not sure what level they all get those ports so if I ever have to do that I usually just type /who wiz 40 60 all.
