Not enjoying my journey on red. If you're just starting out like me and are in rags you're in for a treat. My advice to those who are coming back to this game and relearning it after a long hiatus like myself over 10 years is make something like a mage or Druid first level up to low 50s farm up then make something for pvp.

It's just an uphill battle the way I did it (starting out on the class that I planned to main ) I wanted to do it classic style and enjoy the struggle and the journey. But you just can't compete at all with the fungi twinks and then at high levels with the best in slotters and lifer pvpers.

I don't get this. I mean, I just haven't seen it. I've been on the server a few months now, playing around at low levels to get a feel for what I want to play, and I have never been ganked by one of these twinks. I've only seen one, even -- during my lone trip to Crushbone, of course.

My advice to anyone struggling with twinks: get off Faydwer. Hit Blackburrow instead of Crushbone. Go to Befallen instead of Unrest. Get the hell out of Mistmoore.

Just my opinion, but the twinks are really, really easy to avoid. They are lowest common denominator griefers. They are crocodiles waiting at the watering hole for herds of oblivious wildebeasts. Just go to a different hole, imo.

Lurok it sounds like you need a guild...the transition from leveling to raiding/getting geared is definitely getting a guild on red.

Also yes, you'd struggle to find a fungi twink outside of Faydwer.

My very first pvp fight at level 8 was against a fungi Twink in upper guk

I'm a rogue and I didn't have a set group so I had to rely on pick up groups to level next pvp encounters were at mistmoore enter spyt fungi twink ganked me in mistmoore then later helped my group gank another group who were trying to pvp us out of a camp.

Next getpants and his homie 2 v1 me both fungi twinks then they killed me again on the cr in lfay a couple times after calling lns in ooc.

Then came com where a pack of fungi twink iksar monks killed me in ej then zoned in and killed me naked at bind that was fun.

I'm now level 58 still in banded in some pieces because most of my extra plat has gone to skilling up poisons and unable to level because the so called good guys are in every single zone. Ive gotten my epic a few planar pieces of armor etc but it's still no where near where I need to be compared to the people who have years invested on this server.

I'm just saying its not an easy to start up on if you're a new or returning player starting from scratch.

I mean just take a look at my start date I started playing about a month after registering for the forums. True noobs like me usually don't last long in these types of games.

u only got epic planar armor and level 58 in a month


poor you

Touché

2 years Later for me... 2 lv 53 chars and no epic.

Teach me

Rogue epic very easy to get.. Had a cousin on server with the mq. The levels I was like 52 at the beginning of the double xp weekend. Pve isn't an issue for me and rogues are usually needed in groups. Pvp is the bane of my existence on red one I have only been in a couple of fights with any resemblance of being fair and 2 because of all that I have already said.

So you've been on the server for a month? And have a 58 with an epic + planar gear. Your room must smell lovely.
