Questions about starting a casual warrior.

I'm late to the party, but if you aren't loading up on tink bags, then I find strength to be super useful when levelling toons just to haul all that plat/gold and weighty fine steel, etc around.

Yeah going from a nearly permanently overburdened caster to a ranger with 180+str felt weird. Soiled bag, light burlap sack and sewn evil eye was more than enough unless you're moving anvils. I also like the forager bag for food/reagents. If you can handle the CS sirens wenglak's manly purse is great too. Monk is another story though, I feel you need at least 1 tinkbag for weaps/ot hammer.

Large race warriors start with 113str at the minimum and a lot of tanky gear has str slapped on it.

Is why str is the best starting stat.

Yea if anything it actually makes more sense to play a penalty race as war since it won’t feel as bad with the war xp bonus.

Although if you can stand to look at halflings with hide / sneak and the big xp bonus and the ability to wear that sweet dwarven armor hard to argue against that if you just want to cruise to 60 as fast as possible.

Ended up making an Ogre, I picked the dumb face. Put all my armor on and I look like a katamari ball of trash, this is glorious. Having like 750hp at level 1 is kind of nice, with HGL and some other stuff I don't have yet you could probably make a warrior with nearly 1000hp at level 5. Took me about 10 minutes sitting to regen to full. I didn't transfer the fungi yet but I don't think the mobs are going to chew through all that any time soon.


Their newbie yard is absolute shit though not even sure you're allowed to call it that. Unless I'm missing something mob density is terrible and the woods look the same all over, not sure what OG devs were thinking. Great introduction for a new player... All I wanted is level 5 and getting ported out at the feerrott ring but that's asking a lot apparently.

10/10 will play again.

Innothule Swamp is 10x better. They all suck compared to WC though which is an easy run to train in Neriak (95% sure they won’t murder you unless you go poking around in the wrong guild).

Interestingly a halfling cleric of bristlebane is tolerated even in Neriak's third gate with no faction work by default. Maybe this is because even Innoruuk respects Bristlebane but I was really surprised to see it. Maybe consider Bristlebane if Neriak is important as a newbie. Not even sure if that's a valid option.

Yeah never did a troll but from going through inno swamp often it definitely looked better. I looked up the newbie quest in oggok and they seem pretty bad too.

I'll farm chardok a bit on my main so I'm getting warrior to level 5 and faction him so he can loot sarnak war bow, HGLs, hardened bone spauldors and maybe even a lightningcaller while I'm there. after that the world is my oyster. I haven't figured a leveling path yet. I wanted to work on chanter epic more serious which means locking your character somewhere so I'm basically outfitting a bunch of alts to play them while waiting for mobs to pop. I think I want to bring him to Uguk after and see how far I can make it just because that seems to be the local dungeon with decent ZEM. Runners will be interesting.

I think I could only get cazic/rallos so I picked rallos, I'd probably be fine. I was also suprised my agnostic gnome was tolerated there. IIRC the cleric guild hates her anyway but I need nothing there anyway.

On my Ogre Shaman I remember having a few issues in Neriak faction wise; I think you'd be fine going to the Warrior Guild and Bank but I'd be careful exploring the 3rd Gate and even a few areas in the Foreign Quarter. Maybe it's a softer penalty for Warriors over Shaman, but I got my shit rocked a couple times while I was leveling in Nektulos.

Rallos is the way to go because you start off dubious to Kromrif and Kromzek, which means you can turn in Coldain Heads to Bvellos without doing any faction work beforehand.
