You guys are making ToFS sound kinda freaky, that key business wont be fun. So if Im dead on floor 6 I will need to re-key all the way? Can you tag along others who are keyed?

Only allowed to kill level 1 decaying skeletons and level up by doing the (heavily nerfed) bone chip quests.

I have had all day CRs at ToFS, that said floors 1-3 are not that hard and have good exit routes and if you can handle undead mobs your pretty much golden even if you wind up naked on of the floors

clr, necro, dru, shm, ench, are all pretty viable there

4 and 5 could be scary, i dont think i ever got to 5 or expd on 4

its an amazing zone, if i had a static group and i could sit for 6 hrs i'd go with them for sure

As a side note I'm leveling my cleric in ToFS now, and even CRing to level 2 is a giant PITA (with a 60 druid camped nearby to help kill the key mob). I am not looking forward to the higher levels.

But back on topic, honestly I think my favorite of these "Sisyphean" quests was where the one guy not only invented, but actually completed, the "quest" to max his Bixie faction :)

For many classes this is trivial if tedious: necro, enchanter, wizard, druid, cleric (can ding 60 on that level 40 skeleton in TT), bard.

I suppose a naked 59 monk can melee down a level 40 mob.

Your challenge would be interesting for the other classes.

I've thought of doing this a lot to be honest. Sort of combines the fun of twinking AND starting a new fresh character.

learn languages, work on little-known quests, faction up with with enemy races, collect clickies, explore obscure zones, farm plat/gear, help powerlevel noobs, dig into EQ lore, find friends to duel, work on solo challenges

Only xp in zones you've NEVER XP'd in before. Like, Stonebrunt mountains, najena, droga, dalnir, cazic thule.

Play EQ like you are a rogue shadowy government agent with the full resources of the *insert alliance, faction* unchecked and write up a dossier on each mob you camp.

Secrets 04-13-2020 08:57 PM

Play EQ as a warrior, solo, untwinked to 60 and see how long it takes.

Alternatively, reach max Ally with the Blackburrow Gnolls.
