The Red99 Newb Warrior's Guide

[dusk883]

Never played a Warrior on any pvp server back in the day. Always wanted to.

My memory tells me that 100 MR back in the day made resists "noticeable" but 2 of 3 spells were generally going to land and you were going to be rooted/mezzed/nuked. I'm told I'm wrong on a few threads. Ok, I hope I am.

Seems most of the people want a system where 100 MR will resist "most" spells. If this is the case, I'm totally sold this is the time and place for me to go Warrior, finally.

Questions:

1- What's the natural MR for a naked Warrior at level 50? Noone else gets the 1 MR per level, correct? So, for perspective, what's the natural MR for a naked any-other-class at level 50? MR=roughly 20?

2 -What were some of the droppable MR gear out there? I remember bloodstained mantle and that's about where I'm at a loss.

3- Low level snare weaps were Gnoll Hide Lariat and some other whips? (I don't play 99 much, 10 min a week or something... been waiting and hoping for a Red server)

Honestly, make sure you make some friends and start getting some gear early. There's a bunch of quests you can do like the Langseax(6/23 1hs) and you can always take up blacksmithing to get some early AC advantages.

See, now I'm excited to play. Done waffling with "what class??" issues. 6/23 1HS Langseax, totally forgot about those.

Langseax requires amiable or better faction with Wolves of the North. Suppose I'm a wood elf warrior, just for example, and want to raise that faction to complete the quest? Or is this Langseax quest a barbarian-only sort of deal where a wood elf warrior would be better off pursuing something else?

EDIT: Just googled, gnoll fangs to Halas raises the faction...

yeah go lvl in BB collect fangs and you'll have your faction that being said, why play elf over barb and why play barb over ogre

[gloinz]

why play elf over barb and barb over ogre and ogre over dwarf

dwarf proven best jousting race with dwarf roll jump flip

Pretty sure warriors did not get +1 mr per level.
Bloodstained Mantle is 10.
Runed Bone Fork if you dont want to bow for 10 mr.
Mithril gear gives 5 on arms 5 on legs.
Split Paw Mask was 5.
Then there is the jewelry and bracers. Thats like 7 on each bracer for 14 total.
Whitegold Necklace gave 7 mr but is pretty rare.
SSB is 10 easy MR.

No idea, was thinking out loud on the many race choices for a Warrior. Ogre warrior does sound better than all at the moment. Was thinking initially a Wood Elf or Dark Elf would be something of a rarity on the server.

I believe they did, especially since that was the case on blue servers right?

Started at level 10 or something.

Play whatever race class you want. If you conform to what the easiest choice is chances are you will get bored being one of the sheep.
