I'm not having fun playing this game. Why?
 

Hello I made a first character Iksar Necromancer who is currently level 5. I'm in Field of Bone and is it true that I only need to farm Bone Chips from skeletons to level up? I tried submitting the curscales for the quest but you only get a single bag for those and you have to run back and forth to the Cabilis East NPC for the curscale armor quest, so I dropped this quest and only focus on getting bone chips from skeletons so I can submit them in Field of Bone to that NPC at the entrance. I think that is faster.

I have 3 bags (8 slots each) and I'm just running around killing skeletons for Bone Chips. I mean what else can I do, all the other enemies are either yellow or red so I can't kill them. I only have Minor Shielding and Lifetap. Is there something I am doing wrong when playing this game? Is it so boring because I'm playing alone? What do I need to do to have fun and enjoy this game. I was told Necromancer as Iksar is one of the easiest race/class combos especially for pure soloing.

I'm on the Green Server and I know how to use Sense Heading and I also leveled up Meditate (put 1 point in). That's about the only things I did here. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong playing this game? I really don't like how when you die you have to get your corpse inventory back and the slow nature of this game.

I would suggest taking a look at the wiki and researching your class, quests and the game in general. Find goals you want to start working towards. This game isn't like WoW where they hand hold you and tell you where to go and what to do. You need to create your own quests and goals you want to accomplish for the most part. Look into tradeskills, that opens up a whole new rabbit hole of tasks. There are quests, but you need to look them up. You can even start working toward quests for other classes and sell or keep those items down the road.

Heres a quest for iksar necro to start looking at:

Also..."farming bone chips to level up" is not a viable plan. The bone chip quest in Field of Bone is not about the exp, but the faction hits... that's all its good for.

Yeah I think I'll give up on this game. It's too complicated for me and I'm too lazy.

I played some Guild Wars 2 as a Norn and I gave up on that game too when I realized the story campaigns suck (and the cutscenes too) and that the game is basically a singleplayer achievement hunt kind of game. And I didn't have fun in PvP and the co-op missions. Fractals and the other things. Guild Wars 2 sucks.

"1-11 - Field of Bone, in the pit...and mobs around the outside."

But I DON'T GET IT. Here in this guide it says to level from 1 to 11 in Field of Bone but I can't find any enemies to level me up. All I can do at level 5 is farm bone chips or curscales and submit them for quest exp. What else can I do? There are no enemies in Field of Bone that give decent exp, unless they will kill me easily.

How do I know how to level up from 1-60 as an Iksar Necromancer. Do I have to read and manifest 20 pages of guides before playing a class in this game? This is why this game doesn't get more players, it needs too much knowledge. How do I know which mobs to kill?

I went around in a circle of the Field of Bone pit and found no good enemies for exp. I can kill blues, but that lasts days until I get a level up, unless I just farm Bone Chips but you said it's bad.

Kill the blues.

Have you seen https://wiki.project1999.com/Cabilis_Starting_Guide? Also, have you tried following the road to the large barren area surrounded by walls (with a few paths in)?

P.S. The guide I linked has some great stuff, but it could use a lot more (eg. discussion of how to get to that area I just mentioned). If you're looking for goals, then after you discover the answers to your questions, you could consider editing that page to help future Iksar.

This game is meant to be social. XP is much faster and more fun in groups specifically with tank and heals. Soloing is pure pain unless you’re in the mood for it or going for big plat drops. Necro is a good solo class, but they still suck at soloing compared to any class from any other game. This game is much better with at least one solid friend to grind with. You will meet one in game sooner or later if you don’t have one in RL. Do not create an “easier class” for your “first char” before you play the class you want, you will sink way too many hours into your first char. Necro is a class for loners that want to Netflix and grind/farm.

You will most likely have a lot more fun grinding dungeons with others for better XP and loot. You don’t quest grind in this game like other MMO’s. You find XP pockets of mobs that are mostly blue cons. You grind mobs and grow in power and wealth.

Those bone chips your farming are worth 5 or 10 plat per stack in East Commonlands tunnel. If it's your first toon and you have no plat you should probably be heading to EC tunnel after you fill your bags with bone chips. This will give you much needed funding for spells, ports, bags…etc. EC tunnel is grand central market if you didn’t know. You will find buffs and upgrades and plenty of people there. Being an evil race will create extra struggle for a new player when travelling/banking…etc., beware.

This game allows two good players to succeed with knowledge and skill where a 6-man group will fail, or a 6-man group can succeed where a raid will fail. It is unlike any other MMO because of this and other factors. The high value items have real USD value that would surprise most. Everything in this game is in contention (no instancing) which creates the high value. Not everyone can access everything without effort.

This game is so restricting when it comes to XP and loot that it can be very satisfying when you finally get it. The right place and the right class combination can create that spiritual opium feeling we all want from an MMO. The wrong place and wrong classes are boring. Generally, it’s best to solo in the noob yard outside you starting city until level 5. After that, soloing sucks and you will be better off with others.

Some notable class combinations that have powerful synergy; Cleric/Enchanter, Cleric/Enchanter/Tank, Shaman/Monk. Those are the elite combos. Warrior and cleric are great choices for two new players that want to be social, although not that powerful on their own, you can go anywhere and just add more people of any class and it will be good. Ench/Cleric are extremely powerful with just the two of them but adding more people can be detrimental unless you have a tank. Shaman/Monk are a little slower but become very good at plucking high value mobs late game. Without other people, I doubt your going to have much fun. Classes outside of those powerful combos might be disappointing unless you know what you want to play. Halfling druid would be an easier start if that’s what you’re looking for. Each class has a niche, or multiple niche functions unless you know what they are you might not like your class, or you might learn to enjoy your niche.

And if I'm solo Iksar Necro level 5 what should I do? Just kill Blues? I have 3 plat from selling 3 targ shields from random skeletons (got lucky).

So you want me to fill bags with Bone Chips then go to EC tunnel sell them for plat and run back to Field of Bone?
