Noob questions regarding hunting in Kurn's tower, Iksar faction as good race, etc

[efridge]

Hi all,

I play a 12 dwarf paladin and am interested in hunting in Kurn's tower, but i Have the following concerns:

Is it dangerous to travel to the Field of Bone? Is there a close point a druid or wizard could drop me off, or would i need to hoof it?

Where can I bind? I read Kaesora is an available bind spot. Just outside or inside?

Is it possible to gain faction with the Iksar to the point of being able to vendor (and possibly bank) in Cabilis?

If not, where could I go to vend?

And finally, is it worth the trip, or should i just stay home and continue to grind in Crushbone?

Many thanks!

1.) It's moderately dangerous to travel to field of bone. You will need some sort of invisibility. Safest way to travel is to have a druid escort you with SoW/Skin/Invis/Lev to Dreadlands, zone into KC, and port to Emerald Jungle. Then zone from EJ to Field of Bone.

2.) You can bind inside the ruins outside of the Kaesora zoneline. Beware of the 30ish skeleton that patrols inside.

3.) Cannot comment on factioning with Cabilis

4.) I'm not aware of any vendors that you could use nearby without the use of sneak.

5.) It being worth the trip is up to you. The exp in Kurn's is excellent and unrivaled for its level up until 20. You will need ports to and from the area to avoid any potential long corpse runs. It would probably be much safer to stay in Crushbone and level up. However this is EverQuest and adventure is a part of the game.

Totally not worth the hassle when you have unrest on your doorstep. Fighting 15 people for the 10sh spwns on the first floor vs unrest mobs everywhere and equal XP (in experience, just went thru there and went to unrest). Plus banking/merchant/GMs for skills & spells If you go to unrest...which sounds better to you?

Why would you go all the way to KC? Why not just evac to EJ that doesn't make sense and is a waste of time

In the rare case that this is an actual legitimate question, as it stands currently, evac's can only done from inside Kunark dungeons. KC, Droga, HS, Seb, etc etc, thus the reasoning for going to KC first, then EJ.

Watch out for the Red Con skeleton that roams the ruins, bind in the safe tunnel by zone-line to Kaesora.

I prefer to get to FoB this way. But skip the bind at outpost!! This is for an evil race.

If you want to go to Kurns, go to Kurns. If you do not like it for whatever reason (overcamped/no vendor/no bank) then head to Unrest, it isn't going anywhere. (It; however, is also overcamped - but not to the extent of Kurns)

Also points for dorf pally. My first character on live and my main for 10 years - Cheers!

Stick with CB, based on how busy Kurn's Tower gets (make a lizard briefly and run in there around your usual game time).

If CB is looking busy, consider the mobs that roam in front of the minotaur cave in Steamfont - it's Faydwer's best kept secret from 11-15ish.
