Safest way to travel from Qeynos to Freeport

[Gustoo]

Option 1 is fastest but option 2 is easier. Hard not to die in highpass hold

Thanks again for all the replies. By now, after numerous attempts (The furthest having ended in the middle of Highpass Hold) and with the help of a friendly Bard I made it to Freeport alive. I ended up taking the first route suggested by paulgiamatti.

you are definitely in the BEST zone(s) for money as a noob. rabid pelts and bronze weapons cant be beat.

When I played on Live, there was always a few Bards running a "bard bus" between Qeynos (QH Zoneline with WK) and Freeport (EC Tunnel).

For a small donation, the Bard would allow you to join his/her group. Once their group was full or enough wait time passed, the bard would play their best run speed song and twist it with Invis at lower levels, and off you went across the Karanas, High Hold Pass, Kith, the Commonlands, and ending at EC tunnel. (Waiting for everyone to zone after each zoneline, to restart the bus)

If a high level bard was running the "bus" you got through those zones super quick.

This is one of the more Epic journeys to make during low lvls, don't spoil it with a port the first time [You must be logged in to view images.

I did that for fun quite a lot on live...the HHP ramp was quite dangerous for the people I moved with /follow and selo's, lol.

Getting through Highpass as lowbie noob is gonna be brutal but doable with a good map and some luck.

Remember in NK and EK some wolves see invis and outrun almost everyone (the hounds).

In Kith forest, never forget to always hug a zone wall.

In WC watch out for Dark Elves and Shadowed men.

In EC watch out for the griffins.

Keep us updated.

It's been three days when this was thread started... I could have crawled from Qeynos to Freeport by now.

On classic I liked the highpass route because orcs and gnolls were always camped.

Now you have to try time it with when the mobs have suicided onto guards.

I tend to pass through the Gorge route on characters that can survive it. On higher level characters I use the southern route and pick off any griffons, giants and spectres I come across that can get me xp. I think my ranger did most of 45 very slowly crossing Norrath from the Erudin firepot spot across to Greater Faydark.
