At lvl 11.

On a ranger.

And I feel like I should be higher lvl than 14

it was about 113 of them.

I feel like I should be at least 16 or 17. This isn't a rant. Just feels a bit off.

I turned them into the barbarian chick tho and at least I'm now amiable to a lot more barbarians thankfully, which was the plan too. I just felt like I should have at least gotten two more scurvy levels off all these teeth. I've been hunting gnolls for weeks and giving a lot of space to other newbies in there so they could get some too. If I go to get some more I'll probably give them to Captain Tillin or whoever instead.

Anyway.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

Sorry if I killed your gnolls.

Green is a great server and community btw ya'll have been really fun to play with!

I miss being pvp.

:p

I forget if class and/or race experience modifiers still exist, but I do think the Gnoll Fangs quests was trimmed back somewhat for experience turn-ins around that level. Its been some time though, but I remember getting generally the same feeling on my own Ranger.

Well there's your problem, you turned them into Barbarian instead of Human. In my testing, the Human guy in Qeynos yields more exp.

I’m just gonna leave mine in a tub of cola overnight.

Sorry you didn’t make 15 off your teefs. That sucks. Maybe try bandit sashes?

I heard it was a fun place to work on pottery.

Genuine question, are there alchemy ingredients that could only be bought in Halas? Seems like a worthwhile project for an evil shaman to try to get in good with the barbs.

Can't answer that off the top of my head, but here is a brochure by the Halas Agency Influencing Leisure (HAIL) advertising the benefits of a visit to Halas:

Halas is like Pre-Thurgadin Thurgadin lol :D

can always buy TP EV pots from shams too and just live there.

Velious is really just a stretched out inferior version of the Halas area.

Just so you know, people might talk to you like this in real life, but it isn’t actually a cool or normal way to behave.

Let the hobbyists enjoy discussing their hobby on a board about that hobby without being rude. It’s a small pond.

Tunabros doesn't really bother me, I'm praying for them every day tho. Doing loving kindness meditations too. I worry.

Karana bLeSS!

Velious is really just a stretched out inferior version of the Halas area.

I agree, they really could have skipped like two ice zones in velious and given like 1 more beach zone and like a rocky island sea zone like in the vein of TD/oot

maybe with an open zone underwater dungeon :p and some underwater plants/mob in a shallow 'reef like' area with places to rest/pull too would have been epic.

Nilbog <3's classic ... except when it comes to XP turn-in quests. I think he coded it so every time someone gets a level from an XP turn-in, an angel dies or something ;)

Seriously though, I think the issue with them was "exploitation": people using them in unexpected ways to level characters unnaturally quickly (eg. having a character farm tons of gnoll teeth to give to their new Iksar alt, so that alt can go from 1 to 30 off them).

You might disagree with the staff (as I do) over whether that exploitation was really an issue, and whether it was truly worth breaking classic EQ (where XP turn-ins for things like orc scalps did give XP, unlike here) ... but they do have their reasons.

I'm not at all salty about it. Been enjoying the slow pace. I duo'd with an enchanter earlier at WK valley bandits. Was a lot of fun. We giggled about human blood and giant winter spiders. Too me. That's EQ.

I gave my share of bronze and sashes to them. Don't want to further damage my bloodsabers faction. :p

Sometimes I hit the paint hard on a plat or exp grind, if I had my way though everyone would level half troll sk speed on my custom server. And the EXP bar would be invisible :o

I. And the EXP bar would be invisible :o

Don’t display level or announce ding either - periodically skill caps and max hp raise as you secretly level up.

I did not learn from your mistakes and also turned all mine in in Halas. Ding 14!

14 is a good level for rogues in it?
