Befallen is great XP, just getting out can suck. That third key is awful.

Old Paw wasn't all that bad, but if you bind at Arena, it's not a bad corpse run. It was just too low level for how remote it is, which is why it was revamped.

I see the occasional group for revamped Paw every so often on Blue, and Najena is usually pretty open.

Runnyeye is dead on Blue, as is C-T.

What I used to do for old paw was to sneak past the gnolls to the snakes which wasn't that hard if you're patient. The snakes don't aggro or help each other so you're pretty safe in that spot. As long as you can get there without dying you're good until your bags are full of snake fangs.

I hope zems are randomized or rotated without devs telling

That would be classic as hell

Same with Blackburrow being dead. I started in Qeynos hills in 1999 and it was a madhouse. I bet it’ll be dead on green too just because it’s so remote and lack of good loot other than a couple high level drops that’ll be poopesocked 24/7

I prefer Freeport area to Qeynos, but I will have to say, with the Gnoll tooth? (can't remember what it is that drops off of Blackburrow Gnolls that you can turn in at the Warrior guild in Qeynos) allows you to level up to level 10 or so much faster than the Freeport area.

However afterwards, you are stuck a thousand miles from everyone, but hey.

IMO the trip across Antonica from Qeynos to Freeport is a rite of passage.

I agree, but that run thru Highpass is impossible at low levels and without invis.

there are 3 ways through. Both Runnyeye and the southern route through Rathe/Ferrott/Innothule are safer (relatively) than highpass to someone without invis.

I suspect you can find a level 9 shaman / 14 druid in qeynos hills or wkarana to give you a sow, which will help a lot.

Considering overcrowding is going to be a problem, surely hope they make paw a teens leve dungon, green99 would take SO much advantage of that zone that live didnt, because we are SO much better at everquest than teens level players were back then.

I would hope after a year of green99 we would be able to re-create the classic paw zone by playing in it, and searching the web, all at the same time!

I doubt this will happen but I am praying to bertoxxulous that it does!

I would imagine Paw will be classic. There are maps of old Paw that include mob placement, the devs have them.

The only thing they don't have is the exact dialogue of the roaming dark elf that spawns. If you can dig that up that'd be a huge win. I haven't even been able to find that...

Highpass run will be dangerous initially, but within a week or so the tricky parts will be camped clear and it will be a moot point, making it by far the safest of the routes. When I did that run on my live lowbies highpass was always the best road.
