Calling anyone who wants to make a new dark elf.
 

Hi everyone, starting P99 again casually. Going to go through the struggle of life that is a Dark Elf Shadowknight. I know my heart wants troll regen and my brain wants ogre str/sta/stun immunity.. but there is something mystical and enthralling of playing one of the non-min/max race/class combos.

I encourage anyone interested in starting a dark elf, or in interest of hanging out to message me here on the forum. I don't have a name yet, but I look forward to having some fun, hopefully not alone. When I have a name thought out or chosen I will post it. I look forward to finding a Dark Elf friend(s) and a Scythe as soon as possible!

Name is "Berserking"

Day 1 Update
 

*Updates* Hope you enjoy!

I have had a lot of fun starting from scratch. It's amazing how good it feels to be acquiring upgrades as you hunt. I happened upon a very nice Druid and Cleric who both blessed me with AC/HP/Regen/Speed boosts respectively.

Berserking level 5 Shadowknight.

- Still looking forward to finding friends and/or people who want to group.
- SK is a lot more fun to play without the 40% penalty.
- Smithing and Tailoring around level 15-20. Put 8 trainer points into each.
- Found 2 Cracked Staves and other misc. drops to sell from decaying skeletons.
- Purchased Large Bags (6 slot "backpacks" that weigh 1.0 instead of 3.5 for 2 less slots).
- Luckily, found a merchant with some medicine bags and bought one. (8 slot "backpack" weighs 0.4, have to deal with extra combine button.)
- Acquired an almost full suit of cloth from decaying skeletons.
- Acquired a Rusty Scythe (epic SK weapon) and Rusty Halberd (cool SK weapon). I sharpened the Halberd to an upgraded 11/55! WOW! (started 10/56).
- Trained Smithing by sharpening rusty weapons.
- Hunted wolves and bears after decaying skeletons to harvest their pelts. I purchased a small sewing kit (2 slots).
- Pelts generally weigh 3.5 and Patchwork Armor (ruined pelts) generally weighs 0.8 - 2.0 or so. I saved time on commute by stocking up on tailoring patterns, patterns for pieces that I needed to equip and others just to convert pelts into lighter components and to train Tailoring. I was combining on the hunting field and equipping the upgrades as I was successful. This was very rewarding because moving from cloth to patchwork you achieve the leather armor model.
- Look forward to moving onto Studded Armor (medium-quality pelts) once I can Smith studs and have enough MQ pelts.

Fun first night. Died once to a Shadowed Man in Nektulos while I was hunting Shadow Wolves. I got lost in Neriak for at least 30 minutes.

Sounds awesome. Keep on living the dream!

I have a DE SK myself, level 3. I have no clue what I'm doing xD

Name is Raust

This is why I love the first few levels, so much to do, loads of huge upgrades to acquire in a variety of ways!

Sounds like you are having a good time. :D If you are looking for a guild of leveling players to group up with feel free to look me up on game for more info or an invite. We are small but have a decent number of players with mains and alts between 10 and 50. We also have a recruit thread in the guild sub-forum here if you want more info.

I will add you and help you get a tarnished weapon and at least patchwork armor. Save all the wolf pelts you can find. Especially ruined, med and high quality. Hope to meet you! Take care.

My dark elf SK made it to 59, no regrets other than not reaching 60 yet :)

I made a DE Ench with the intent of joining the Ways of Yore guild (I have irregular play times and have not seen any on for the last week I have played). For that reason I have no twink items and have gotten all but my cloth gloves from skellies and decayed(Don'the their fleshless first gers email error get cold??) I am level 8 now and ran to HHK to get my pet spell. It is great fun doing leveling the old fashioned way :)

In game name is Aaww.
