Default Iksar Question

Hey guys, quick question:

So I'm leveling up in the Bone Yards, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is just the way it's suppose to be..but I just recently hit 5 and I can still only kill the blue mobs outside of the pit, and as a Iksar SK it's pretty brutal. I didn't mind it before, but this is borderline 0 XP a kill. I also can't seem to get a group to kill stuff inside the pit, as everyone is already and doesn't want to add me (for whatever reason), or just no one is there.

So just wondering what I should do..because sitting killing all these 0 XP mobs seems ridiculous.

It's been a while since I had a level 5 character, but I remember 5-10 can be slow if you don't have access to Blackburrow or EC Buffs. My iksar monk did FoB and found that effective, so I would think you're in the right place.

IIRC, some of the mobs in the pit are 2-4, so some of those might work if you're slick enough to avoid the more powerful ones...

Send Greycee a tell tonight after 7pm central and I'll discuss tactics with you.

The game is meant to be played in groups. So if you aren't in a group, you need either someone helping you of higher level, or gear that is higher than you can obtain on your own.

Soloing as a SK in the early levels without good gear is difficult. Many would advise to move to EC and ask for buffs / damage shields from people in the tunnel to help with the process.

Best of luck!

Field of Bone has kind of a gap level 4-7ish, go to Lake of Ill Omen instead - higher con blues and some whites for your killing pleasure!

field of bone at those levels is a group must for the number of kills potential. lake of ill omen is a good one too if you plan on staying in kunark. when you can get into kurns it speeds up .

Just keep looking for groups and solo what you can. It's really tough in the beginning and it will only get harder later on as an Iksar SK, you've chosen the race/class combo with the worst exp penalty in-game, alongside troll SKs. I'd recommend making as many friends as possible.

Just keep your head up as it's gonna get real muddy for you, but you'll get respect as a high level Iksar SK.
