Anyone want to go on some adventures?

I'm in need of some help. My main character is a level 19 cleric, and I'm trying to get out of my bronze armor. Everywhere I go, I'm encumbered because it's too damn heavy. If I have to run from something, I just die, because my leisurely stroll away from whatever is eating my face off isn't really effective. It's like a fat kid with lamb chops tied to his feet running from a pack of wolves.

I've started my Sol Ro armor quests because the rewards are better AC and lighter weight (plus a few stats here and there), and it's cheaper than a set of fine plate. The problem is that I'm not really of the level to complete the quests on my own, and I don't have a guild full of high level ass-kickers to help me out. Most of the mobs in the quest series can be done at about 35, but continuing this cyclical death-cycle for another 15-ish levels does not sound like a lot of fun.

I'm hoping that there's anyone hanging around that is kind/bored/interested enough to break away from the norm and help me into more functional (and fashionable!) armor. I'm not asking for money, I'm not asking for gear, I just want someone to help with the following mobs:

Maugrim 28-ish necro on Kerra Isle
Sluge 30-ish goblin in Runneyeye

I'd appreciate any help with this, and while I can't offer any coin (or not enough for the help, anyway), I'm a conversationalist and you won't be bored (hopefully).

I know your pain - DE SK in full bronze here.

Would help out... if I was higher than level 11, good luck!

Not worth the effort. Get some banded crafted to replace the heaviest bronze and plow ahead. I was in the same situation as an erudite cleric.

Those mobs to get the solro armor are inconvenient at best, and at the worst have horrid mob spawn times (maugrim) or oddities (Regis). Each piece also takes at least one bar of enchanted platinum to make (~120 plat on its own which would cost more than many fine plate pieces would), and only the bracers are worthwhile to get statwise.

Your best pieces are actually not plate for the most part, but any ones with Wisdom. Cheaper ones include split paw hide gloves, Savant Cap, etc.

bleh. I didn't realize it was that costly for those pieces. Kind of unfortunate. Lambent is the same way now that I think of it, something like 100 for the gems required. I had a lot of fun questing them though, so I wouldn't mind helping if that's the plan. I'll send you a tell if I see you.

Dwigus 30-ish goblin in Dagnor's
some named ghoul and a zombie in NK, level 30-ish (to be done twice, one for each bracer)

My GF and I are in your exact situation and we are planning to do the armor quests ASAP also. We are a shade behind you at 17/18 but we are hoping to be closer to 20 in the next day or two. Our plan was to get to 25ish since that opens up new areas level-wise before doing a few quests and starting the Sol Ro armor quests in particular. If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome. We may have to keep levelling up to do the mobs you list, but at least we can bang out some of the lower level ones and replace heavy bronze on at least a few slots before then and see how we do with the higher ones as we get closer to 30-35. In EQ, its your overall stats that matter, not slot-by-slot, so patching up your gear with banded as others suggested will give you some unencumbered legs until then, so to speak.

Toss me a PM here or contact us in-game, if you want. I play a Warrior named Beleri and she is a Cleric named Elenwenn.

BTW, off-topic, but why is your name familiar? For some reason I seem to remember you from the SK boards ages ago but it could have been something to do with progression just a couple years ago, maybe? Or the safehouse?

Full bronze before level 20? That's pretty good by my recollection.

I didn't have full bronze on my toon till 30!

Course you'd probably be better off finding leather pieces than bronze. Or maybe even buying Fine plate. The quests are definitely not worth the time vs reward.

Come to Runnyeye... my almost-18 ranger is parked there, waiting for people interested in escaping Unrest and the 1-mob-every-3-minutes pull rate. :)

1 mob / 3 minutes > 1 group / 3 hours

I'm parked there but unfortunately by my 9PM CDT play time everyone seems to have vamoosed. If you need a 19 tank (Sagann, in full bronze :) ) I'll be there tonight at 9!

If people would realize the ZEM in Unrest is not worth it when it's camped all to hell and spread out more, we wouldn't have that issue. But if you want to cram more people into Unrest until groups have to camp individual spawns, be my guest... ;)
