We do have one non-RL friend who expressed interest in joining us with his druid. That would bring us to SK/MNK/NEC/SHM/(DRU). Would you still drop the SK? Go warrior instead?

Sounds like 5 people to me.

5 Necros - FoB - > Kurns -> Unrest -> Kaesora -> Lguk ?

If you go with your iksar only grp id say run this route --------> FoB > Kurn's > Giant fort (WW) > CoM (stables to start then work in farther). Can take an ikky grp from to 1-50 w/o ever leaving the homeland brother (technically farther but in the fast simple approach).

One thing you may want to consider if you're going to be a full time dynamic quartet is to pool your plat together to get your SK and monk the best gear. Shaman and necro dont need a whole lot in the way off gear to be effective in groups. But that extra str, ac, and stam will help a whole lot in your overall efficiency.

Thanks for the suggestions - still open to more as we nail things down.

If we go wtih Iksar, it's looking like i'll be the SK, and I already had an lowbie iksar warrior that I'll steal some banded / rings / earrings etc. One of the players is set on monk. I was planning on trying to get the monk some decent weapons asap. Any suggestions on good monk weapons that run around 100pp on red?

You'd be tripping over your own dicks in pvp overwriting eachothers spells.

Maybe come Velious.

My idea involves replacing the necro with a wiz/dru. Not adding a member which sticks to the original plan of 4

If you have a monk in the group may want to throw Dalnir's into the progression. Planar level gear, very easy to get and the zone is good exp as well. Just stay away from the kly overseer or you'll be spending that gear money on corpse summons.

SK is just a bad class in PVE, no way around it. Gear dependent, bad dps, hybrid penalty sucks down more exp. If you have any sort of desire for efficiency especially 50+ I'd encourage you to rethink that choice. Same with the necro, in a 5 man group stuff will die too fast to take advantage of necro mana efficiency.

The absolute fastest and most efficient way to do pre raiding PVE in EQ is to shaman slow stuff and beat the shit out of it with rogues and monks.
