It varies based on which character you're on, but I've never outleveled berserkers while doing the quest. You just need to know where to find them. :)

Some people love the race to 60. Other's like to enjoy the world while levelling. I am the latter.

I would recommend doing parts of your epic quest that you can. These quests are usually really fun and interesting.

here's a suggestion:
group up with 5 other low 50s and try to take over seafury island. you could hold a few spawns for sure and it would be hilarious.

also, start going to lower level dungeons and camping cheap old world drops. It can be fun to go inside Mistmoore and journey through the inner castle.

I think what works best is first work on not dying, you level a lot faster that way. Some things to consider not doing, I for one hate it when I do the following not in any order;
root myself in front of the npc, when trying to re root the npc. (1 time honest)
nuke myself (2 times no deaths yet sure if i try it will happen)
DOT myself (died to this like 6 times)
Root then DOT myself (didn't die but was close)

I have had some horrible targeting issues, the re root thing happened last night was not cool.

Unless you camp these braids at an appropriate level. Hunting berzerkers and doing this quest over and over yields very good experience. On my monk, sham, and necromancer I hunted OT berzerkers for both xp and faction. The xp was good, the faction was a bonus of the good xp (killing and quest turn-in) and the net result was I had amiable faction and my OT hammer before the mobs themselves went green.

So yeah ... if you "work on" it while leveling, you accomplish both your leveling and your hammer (saving 2k +/-).

It's worth it.

what level range it's that good for? 49 now

The mobs will be green to you at this point but you'd probably still get like 1% per turnins on braids. So not really worth it at 49 unless you just dislike buying it. Takes something like 40-50 turnins if you start off apprehensive.

My friend said it took him 30 turn ins, he was on his ogre shaman when he did the braids. I am working it myself on an alt, so I am curious how many turn ins it will take me.

making friends and love starring at pixel walls. thats the true path to success on p99.

Soul leech for your epic can cost like a 100k so better start saving up, at least it isn't 400k like the warrior epic

+1 for Agnarr?...
