Many years ago I made a barb shammy back on Saryrn server. Somewhere around level 3 or 4 frustrations got the best of me and the delete button was used. A little while later my wife did the same. She ended up making an iksar shaman and levelled it to 90 something, lots of fun.

Fast forward to me playing on p99. Barbarian rogue, leveled to 4 or 5 then met the delete button. Barb warrior didn't even make it to level 2.

Barb newbie area in Everfrost just plain sucks. Even Nek forest and Toxx are better. Any tips to surviving EF until a swarm of yellow and red con's don't have it out for me? Am I just lazy/spoiled with Field of Bone, Steamfont and Misty Thicket?
The first character I ever made on live was a Barbarian, so to me it's just a typical EQ newbie area. I think the really key things are to ALWAYS keep track of where you are (those white walls make it difficult, but you can learn the area), and try to pull mobs out of the "stream" of mobs, to the side where you can't get adds.

Also, run like hell from any skeleton model you see until you can confirm that it's not a Vengeful [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Within a few levels you'll be able to head to Qeynos if you really dislike EF that much.
