OP, go to the gear page in the Wiki and sort through the find gear your class can use, +INT/+CHA gear for example. You can usually find some pieces that are quest rewards and the quest page will of course tell you what level you roughly need to be to complete it. I did this on Green at launch and it was useful.

Thanks again for all suggestion. Any idea at what lvl ench/nec can duo AC for jboots?

Also for exp: solA vs. Splitpaw vs. tofs vs. crystal caverns for ench/nec lvl 32 duo? Too many options ;D

AC is 41 so id imagine an ench and necro could duo it at 32 but could be tough?

Splitpaw.. is a little easier than Sol A but less mobs so a little slower IMO.

You could prob go to CC at 32 and be fine. Spiders are like 30-32 iirc

SolA is great, but its old school, so the mobs are a little tighter, and it can be swarmy.

I would personally enjoy sola over the other 2 choices, but splitpaw/CC might be a little easier.

Shovel already covered Sol A and Splitpaw.

Crystal Caverns is uniquely awesome for tradeskillers, especially Shawl crafters: it and Velk's are the only places to farm Velium and crystal spider silks, but Velk's is much higher level (and busier).

Even if you're not a tradeskiller, learning just a bit of pottery and farming CC will let you craft the (very handy) Thurgadin Gate Potion. Also, I believe that (with illusion/faction buffs) your Enchanter can vendor and bank at the town within the zone.

TOFS is a really fun dungeon (one of the best-made in the game IMHO), and I think it has a pretty good ZEM. It's also almost all undead, so the Necro can use all their undead-specific spells. The only problem with it is the corpse runs.

TOFS has seven levels, each with their own NO DROP (but not soul bound) key. In other words, if you bind outside, then die on level 2+, you'll respawn without the keys you need to return.

The best solution is to key up a high-level alt. A cleric is the best since they can rez you, but a level 60 of any class can farm the keys (and then you can loot them on your naked main)

But, if you don't have a higher-level alt, you'll need to keep a duplicate set on a lower-level alt (and be extremely careful not to get them killed as they escort you back), or "corpse" a backup set of keys (which requires eating a death if you can't find a high level Cleric). And if you don't prepare somehow, you'll have to just never die ... or else get good at naked duo-ing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I absolutely second TOFS I think if you two duoed your way to the top while you leveled you would have such fun.

That dungeon is so easily missed becasue its weirdness.. but man to have a pal that you could learn that place together with would be great fun!

As a new chanter on this server (untwinked) I had the coldain shawl in mind (didn't do it on live) I did Crystal cavern solo on orcs 34-36ish and then spiders 37-40, then I did tentacles until I got a Blackened crystalline robe, which you'd probably like. You'd have no issue as a duo on orcs but spiders, the occasional drachnid retainer pather would probably be a problem.

Things you could do to get better gear at your level:

Rod of insidious glamour quest is a must, you'll use it until you get epic or zladi's heart. Do this ASAP.

Incandescent mask quest is worth it too because that mask will last a long time. The incandescent gloves aren't great when you can get iksar skin gloves for 200pp but better than nothing.

Oggok: hang around until you can loot a crude stein.
Unrest undead barkeep: 2 opalline earrings.
Splitpaw gnolls for the 5cha necklace
Uguk for bracelets of woven grass
Uguk for gatorscale sleeves
Sol A bar for drake-hide leggings

Mystic cloak isn't a bad idea but the mob is like on a 1h respawn timer and has like 5% chance to pop. Took me 24 cycles to get him. You won't really find a better cloak until late game but it is a gigantic waste of time if you don't do it semi AFK while doing something else IRL.

If you have some money you could also get Jewelcrafting up to make yourself charisma bracers/rings/neck.

If you have your sights set on the shawl you could also tradeskill to get ready for the first few steps which would award you the decent seal of thoridain.

Low hanging fruits money wise that you can't farm yourself

Iksar skin gloves
Loam encrusted/spider fur lined shoes
Kromzek surveyor scope
Gypsy medallion
Mantle of the elder serpent/loam encrusted amice
Loam encrusted cap

All those are 250pp or less each. The charisma jewelcrafting stuff is also cheap if you don't want to make it yourself.

Oh and impskin gloves aren't worth it when you can buy iksar skin gloves for 250pp. Did 90 cycles of that camp, got kindle 8 times and got 8 rings. If the drop rate is =>10% it is a huge waste of time. Money is good if you kill nonstop though.

They're a solid option for most casters but enchanters are lucky enough for not having to camp those heh.

Oh and for OP, as far as level goes you guys have a lot of options. Not sure what necro looks like at 32 but while you as a chanter can go anywhere, it is my understanding necros do somewhat better on undeads so you might want to do TOFS, kaesora and later city of mist to play more to your advantages than splitpaw/CC/solA. Places like splitpaw and mistmore have high ZEM though so it might be worth passing on undeads but you'd have to test... or just go with the area you like the most.

Dual charm with slow though, you guys could go on a rampage.

Yeah, I liked the risk/reward of them. Velious offers too many glove slots that are just as good for like free!

I liked how gloves for casters were pretty wack until you can kill the mighty IMP surrounded by jewls and next to an efreeti! So deep in the mines nobody will ever find you! And you may never get out!

And then you leave with these like, really cool sounding IMP sking loves.. IMP skin.. what is that like!?? I bet very much like shark skin, but SO smooth on the underside.

Its like, man so much magical magic in classic EQ.
