View Full Version : Most fun twink build you’ve ever done?

Title says it all. I seem to burn out around 50 with most chars as the power curve really goes down in comparison to 45+ NPCs.

Curious what your most fun twink build was? And one that you had no problem getting to 60 with? I have a 60 enc, so that’s out. Have about 100k plus a fungi.

Possibly a zlandi heart necro? Not sure tbh. Not terribly interested in grouping a lot because I have limited play time.

IMO melee are the most fun twink chars. I did a warrior 1-60, using bandaids, fungi, ToD, and blood points and it was a friggin blast the whole time. The best part is people thinking i was amazing as i turned down groups for much better XP soloing 55+

Warrior or Monk for solo. If you don't mind grouping then Rogue.

Casters are fun to twink but you don't feel like a God with the twink gear because you were doing just fine without it.

I twinked an SK pretty hard and she was fun, but the lack of DPS was just hard to have fun with once I approached 50.

I didn't do this, but a friend had de-leveld their lvl 60, epic+ geared ranger down to like lvl 4 or something so his daughter could play it and just wipe everything out

I've played every class pretty much twinked as you can.

Druid was the most fun twink I've ever played.

Full ss gear at level 5, fungi, etc. Was amazing.

Regrowth the grove at level 5. Drones of doom at level 5. Sow at level 5. Misty port at level 5 so you can meet up with druid and buy potg.

Just insane

Interesting. You did this to 60 though? All of those kinda fade out over time and you’re basically just waiting for permafrost to not be camped or quadding.

Low level Ogre Warrior, I used to run around Paladual Caverns (I think thats what it was called) killing players around my level way back in the day.

When I was bored of my good-guy shaman main, I'd switch over to the warrior for some evil deviance, battling it out with noobs. Then I would plug at the zone-in back towards the Bazaar... and wait patiently to strike again another day.

Monk easily. Chose iksar and threw in a Fungi and slowly upgraded from there. Great 1hb and 2hb options for really cheap. Eventually soloed for my own Tstaff. Still grinding solo and enjoying it at 58. Never made it to 50 so quickly.

I"ve twinked out a paladin with NToV gear, primal, everything you could want and its meh. I gave a monk a few decent items and he was alot funner then the twinked to hell paladin.

I played a 55 necro with VP soulwell staff, that was A TON of fun, can be a group healer pretty much

Not 60 yet, level 46, working on a bard atm.

But when I play the druid, I charm a pet in lower guk and battle druid shit. I have like 2k hp 1k ac.. plus the DS clicky gloves. It's sooo easy lmao

Funny enough, twinked ranger was the worst twink I feel. By level 22-23 I was like... fuck this im getting her to 30 and making it my mule. I feel like my rogue took better damage, and obviously did way more dps.

The only twink melee I've never played is pally. However, I feel like my twinked Troll SK was the most powerful out of all of them 1-35. I was killing 6 blue guards at once in HHK. It's a shame SK's are garbage.

Pally was a blast until 50. Then you realize how bad their dps is for solo play. Trying to avoid monk because I did that on live, but I know they are broke af. Ranger was cool but gets wrecked 50+. Sounds like I need to continue to level my gnome war whose 46. I just found the lack of utility boring but people seem to love wars 55+ and a stunning kick sounds badass.

Unfortunately we can’t do gnome sks, that’d be my #1 choice with haste clicky Altho their dps is still pretty awful like pallies.

Monk. I decided at level 24 that my monk with his dps is now my main after playing an SK for 54 levels. And Monk FD is a godly ability

Fungi then pick your poison with the best 1h/2h weaps

Twinkle monks are the greatest, with your fungi and 100k, buy a cloak of flames, peacebringer, and as much raw str items u can fine. Hp rings are nice but 1-46 I'd focus on STR Stat gear. With a fungi, cof, high str. U can solo to 46 np. After 46, I'd focus on raw hp and str/sta gear.

Starting stats, sta > str for top end stuff. But for fun leveling str>sta. The idea is to burn shit down and let the regeneration carry u through to the next mob

Won a pre-nerf Fungi Stick Early Kunark and slapped it on a monk with Fungi tunic, good haste, and a T-Staff. I am a slow leveler (left this chat at 52 for a long while) and still working towards 60. That is the most fun I have had by far.

I also agree with Bbeta. Although if you want to save some money, just get a seahorse belt instead of cloak of Flames.

Playing a Wood Elf warrior twink right now. Got him full Guardian armour cus I was farming faction on my main anyway. Fungi, CoF, wess, edge of nightwalker, reaver. He is only 33 right now but getting crips for 300+ on HK goblins has been a legit blast. Also, since he is Wood Elf the fashion quest is strong.

Druid with a fungi and a jade mace (and heals, regen, damage shield, flame lick and snare) is a better tank than most tanks till the mid 40s. It's like playing a paladin on Diablo 2.

I have an epic'd shaman. Honestly just feels like a weak necro. Can't vouch for torpor though and lvl 60 being a different story. Sucks that epic doesn't have the final 2 best ticks of splurt.

Mages get 25 clicky DS robe at level 1 or 5 or whatever it is. Pretty ridiculous DS for mana free even into the 50s. They also get the 60% pet haste clicky from legs, so I think that also works at those low levels? Pretty great as well.

I'm leaning towards trying to get a Zlandi heart and make a non-iksar necro. Fast leveling with iksarish benefits.

250k pk ranger. I know it was a cheap tactic but it was fun and I only started pking around level-30-35 so at least I had SOME honor. It was during pop so I don't know how much "skill" u would want to call it.

Edit: I know pks have a negative view; but im not going to be a pk forever. Its gotta happen at least once /shrugs

I did the same thing. Had a CoF, Fungi, Cobalt BP, Truncheon of Doom, an Embalmers Skinning Knife and two Bloodpoints, as well as being a Gnome, so I had 40% haste arm clicks. I solod like an absolute beast all the way to 60. I carried a bag full of nets just for the oh shit moments since they’re cheap to recharge. Use the fungi and bandages to get myself to 70% and then swapped to the cobalt BP to finish it off, although once I was past level 55 or so, I stopped needing to be 100% for fights. I dropped into Yaels pit and then solod my way up and down the ramp. Was loads of fun. Ranger is a close second with the right toys. An earth caller and sky cloak really make soloing a breeze.

Monk was by far my favorite twink, and I didn't even give him any high end items (pantherskin, FBSS, ada club/SoS/IFS).

That said, leveling a necro that is self-gearing has been more fun than the monk twink. After the mid-teens, necro just feels so strong with or without gear. Twinking a necro might be cool, but I don't think it would alter the gameplay like it does for a melee. Caster twinks are just essentially giving you more cushion, rather than being the dps boost it is for a melee.

I stalled out at 51 as I've not been able to get the time in.

Looking forward to my return so I can do the last fight for her epic!!

In the mean time I've just been putting in an hour here or there on toons in their 20s, doing courier fields and such like.

you're turning this fun thread into an RNF worthy pile of crap. Naethyn plays to win, is very skilled and tanks for one of the best guilds this server has ever seen. Obviously a 32 pally cant zone into tov but his 60 warrior certainly can.

EQ mechanics are mostly boring AF by current standards, but insofar as EQ goes, if you don't want to group and have an ench then the only other solo classes you could objectively define as fun is necro/bard/druid, but gear isn't massively helpful for any of them for solo leveling. I guess I'd give it to necro. You can have fun soloing pretty much the entire way and get to 60, with low levels being boring for all classes and without suffering too much for finding mobs in the higher end.

For me twinking has always been something I've tried to do to convince myself that I still enjoyed the game but was bored of my character. I've made at least 100 alts across many games and I don't know that it's ever made the game fun again. It's just something to occupy yourself with. Eventually I realized the twinking itself was more fun than playing the alt, and that's when I gave up on it. If I'm bored of the game there's thousands of others to play, and if I eventually feel like going back to it then it will be more enjoyable than forcing myself to keep playing an alt.

A question to all the people saying pure melee is the most fun. Why? You legit do nothing but occasionally click one button. I'd say it's in the running for one of the poorest and laziest designed things in video games. Ever. It takes more effort to play Pong. Which is also more entertaining. Doing nothing is categorically boring, so what do you consider fun about it? Likewise I'm also discounting dotrotting and quadding as 'fun'. It may have been fun when the game came out, but it's old now. The concept of fun in games has changed. Walking forward 20 feet and clicking one button or sitting still and rerooting/dotting doesn't stand up anymore.

I get the feeling you guys might be calling it fun for some other reason. Like you're watching twitch/pr0nhub in the background or something? Or perhaps you became so bored of the game that the act of twinking a character ended up being more fun than playing the character like I mentioned previously? Melee can be twinked much more than casters, so I can see how that might be confused as being more fun.

It sounds like you don't challenge yourself enough. Melees are much more involved if you are doing it right, pulling, tanking multiple mobs, fast pulling, killing in camps that are out of the way or higher level than normal, there are many ways to spice up gameplay.

That said, when people say having a melee twink is "fun" I suspect what they mean is that they enjoy the experience of being overpowered. In EQ starting from actual nothing you are underpowered, pretty much forever. People enjoy playing through the game in a way that makes them feel like a badass. It's the power fantasy, which is pretty much why every video game is "fun"

fortior
08-04-2019, 02:47 PM
Melees get progressively weaker as they level up compared to the mobs they fight. It's fun to counter that with overpowered gear, turning you into a buzzsaw of death instead of a wuss with 2 sharp sticks who needs a break after every kill.

I kind of went a strange route with him only using 2hs and never a 1hs for rp reasons. I wanted to mention that I really like the skyshrine armor, not only for fashion, but the raw ac it provides. I stopped twinking with a fungi a long time ago, because I found very easy. Providing melee twinks with loads of AC has been a really fun route, because normally AC doesn't provide that much benefit, but you can really see it shine at the lower levels.

It looks like you are trying to knight this spider to become one of your acolytes.

Imagine feeling envy over pixels on a 10 year old server of a 20 year old game.

That's what I'm feeling!

Iksar Monk. My goal was to get him all decked out at level 1, and level from there but I didn't end up doing it like that.

I got him a Fungi, some basic good kunark gear for the time, Sash of the Dragonborn so nothing too fancy for haste. I got him epic at level 20 or so if I remember right.

It was fun. It was when you could equip epic at level 1. I couldn't click the haste til 45 or whatever it is but I still had the 9/16 fist and the great stats that come from the glove slot itself.

I grouped here and there but mostly just soloed.

Dalnir was fun as hell, I was in there from 32-38 or so. Kaesora after that.

It was nice to actually be able to do that content by myself, working my way from room to room, level to level.

This was also when you could sneak to clear agro when you got up from FD if the mobs had their back turned to you. It was super easy to split things up.

This has been a fun twink. He still needs some work. I should get him a couple of those chardok earings and He needs something sexier in his range slot for sure and maybe a new bracer, I lost like 40 scout rolls with this guy and gave up on that bracer.

Here is another twink I did. He has been stuck at scout roll since November though. I probably should get this guy a vindi bp? I'm loving his Vyemm sword the dps is crazy because it procs like crazy.

Have you ever tried being a casual on a non casual guild?

Have you ever tried being a casual on a non casual guild?

A few times. Both hardcore and semi hardcore guilds. The ironic thing is im really not that casual! I play alot! I'm just intimidated by the raid scene since I've never done it. I even have all the necessary clickies and a suit of MR gear and all. Ive app'd to BDA back in like 2014, Asgard around 2015, Aftermath right after Rampage woke sleeper so i can't remember the year...and maybe a few others? Never felt like I jived with any particular guild enough to actively get myself onto full member status. Everyone is so neckbeard pro they don't explain encounters and assume everyone knows what's up, and it really makes for an unfun and uncomfortable situation most of the time for me. Eq is my favorite game ever and all i want to do is experience slaying gods and dragons with some cool people but it hasn't been easy to find for me.

Fun (sad) fact: never killed a named dragon in eq!

Maybe I should continue the search for the right guild!

Oh jeez, I would have such a hard time with that too, especially never having played on Live. If I did join a guild and get myself into a raid, it would be completely new to me and I feel like I would need a lot of guidance lol

Also! Not to derail too much from the actual topic at hand! I guess my Druid could be considered somewhat of a twink in some ways. She's Level 52 and has her Epic, Skyshrine gear, ES Pants, DS gloves, root neck, Girdle of Rapidity and some other cool goodies (Magelo in signature) but nothing too crazy. The clickies definitely help in a lot of situations.

IMO melee are the most fun twink chars. I did a warrior 1-60, using bandaids, fungi, ToD, and blood points and it was a friggin blast the whole time. The best part is people thinking i was amazing as i turned down groups for much better XP soloing 55+

Where did you solo 55+? And at what point were you able to bind to 70%
