Embarking on a new journey with a warrior

[iplayeq]

Hey everyone,

I have absolutely no experience when it comes to tanks and melee classes so I feel like a complete newbie. I want to earn all the gear with my Necromancer (lv 53) or by doing quests with and tradeskills with the warrior instead of purchasing anything.

Are there any decent quests I can do while I level up my warrior and what are some decent gear I can get with my necromancer.

If you go gnome war you can craft the Clockwork armor for some awesome self-buffing, most notably 40% haste (bigly underappreciated).

How much farming do you want to do on your necro? Unfortunately you may need to purchase a weapon, Staff of Battle is a cheap option can be found for a few hundred plat.

Definitely go to lower Guk, camp Frenzied for FBSS (haste belt).

The orcs in EW can be camped for 2x Orc Fang Earrings.

Either level JC yourself (not recommended) or buy 2x HP/AC rings.

You're just a bit low, if your necro was higher level you could probably camp Frenzy in Velk for 2x wrists and arms.

Have a guild? Do they farm Kael arena? Barbed dragonscale boots and shoulders drop there, as well as the neck from Bvellos.

Choose each item slot, sort by whatever stat you're looking for (STR, HP, etc)...find a drop that looks decent and is within your farming capability.

My plan was to camp Frenzied and kill a few orcs in EW for the earrings. I do have a guild and I was planning on joining them in Kael once I hit 53.I was going to see if I have any luck getting ringmail armor from unrest as well.

I made a Half Elf warrior that worships Innoruuk. The combination intrigued me and being able to run in and out of my favorite city (Neriak) is a plus.

Heads up: Frenzy in lower guk has a long respawn time and you're looking for a rare item off the rare spawn. It can be very frustrating.

How is truesilver mail armor? I should be able to farm for that with my necro.

[Tewaz]

Truesilver is good vendor trash. Sells for a lot.

[Robersonroger38]

Can a necro do the wurmslayer quest?

If so is a very good weapon

[Jimjam]

True silver is really rare, will be a gruelling farm.

[wagorf]

there's nothing your 53 necro can camp for war that are decent, there's also not much you can farm for cash at 53, and war is expensive to gear

expect to be frustrated as you level the war, since you don't have the plat to fund it

Okay there is plenty you can solo that is solid gear.. just maybe not the best twink gear for velious. You can solo fbss, yaks, classic warrior quest armor, hooded black cloak.. I mean you can solo a full set of gear that is more than adequate to gear a warrior just fine. You would struggle solo just like any warrior struggles to solo without a fungi.

[Dollar]

Crusty armor also. You can deck out your warrior.

All these naysayers are basically saying if you don’t plan on buying a fungi, why bother. Which is ludicrous considering the amount of warriors that leveled to 60 without a fungi.

I’m pretty sure evil half elves are still kos in Neriak

Telling him to invest crazy time camping super rare items in lguk, which has minimal impact on his war ability to solo, is not great advice.

He might as well drop the 5k on random gears and he'd perform about the same solo.

Sure, it makes sense if it was 1999. It's 2022 mate, and p99 has been around for like 10 years. Encouraging him to get stuck soloing as a frustrating new war, on a server that is super top heavy, is horrible advice.

Perhaps I've misread, but to me it seems the advice is to solo/guild group on a 53 necromancer, to get a few basic bits of equipment that will make the new warrior journey a bit more tolerable for the character and it's group mates. This is something I can get behind. Some fire wedding rings, a couple of 1:2ish weapons, some schw and a suit of banded or even crusty is something a 53 necro with guild assistance can easily achieve and would perform sufficiently well in a group environment.

If the advice is to solo on the warrior, I'd strongly suggest against that as a main plan - certainly not after level 40.

Is it technically possible to kill a sonic bat or two 400 times in a month to complete level 54 solo? - I have done that - but for most players that experience and pace will be far too frustrating so I wouldn't recommend it, even if I am willing to do it multiple times on multiple warriors all with terrible gear - I know I am the exception in how I enjoy that.

If the goal is to gear a war to perform better in group environment, a better suggestion is to do plat farming with 53 necro to fund the fbss/ssoy/wolf cloak instead of camping them. Even a low yielding camp like seb NG has much higher ROI than camping lguk for those extreme rares.

Agreed that would be the easier route, and you are right to explain that to OP, even if they did state they’d rather camp the items them-self.

Frenzied in velks is a preferable camp to get haste than frenzied in guk. Perhaps that was the frenzy OP aspired to? It’s much more realistic, provided he can do the camp.
