Level 1 Barbarian

[JediOfTheShire]

I saw this on another post from 2012, and man... people on the internet are such jerks sometimes. I have to search for 10 minutes to find a white con at level 1. SO MANY yellow cons. This is not the EQ I remember. I played it then, and there was nowhere near this many yellow cons at level 1. Just funny- I'll have leveled in a few hours and can start taking on what's yellow now, but hot dang this is stupid!

Yeah. Everfrost can be brutal.

Everfrost is widely considered to be the hardest newb zone on p99. If you are anything but shaman you should leave asap.

Although a newbie can earn serious plat there by helping lv 50+ players killing ice giants. I used to run gold to the Halas bank from Perma entrance and usually got 50% when changed to plat. Plus i was given a lot of FS weps, so you can potentially have about 1.5-2k to twink yourself when you hit lv 7ish. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just hit level 3. It's not so bad now that I have more than 30 hp... but yeah, once I get all the basic quests done that I want to and get enough ruined pelts to be walking around covered, I'm splitting. I do love Blackburrow though.... also Crushbone... decisions! :P

But yeah, I will remember that Everfrost is a brutal zone for level 1. It's just frustrating having to hunt for something you can actually kill at that level!

hit up Befallen. Perfect locale; run to EC for some buffs, head back & slaughter with the highest available ZEM in EQ

Blackburrow is very fun and classic. I would encourage you to bind in qeynos though, if you get killed in BB you have to run quite a gauntlet to get back from halas.

If the surefall glade port was on p99 the qeynos/halas area of the world would have a lot more people in it.

Stop complaining about Halas and be a Barbarian...

Your big, your tough and you can stomp out anything... And that's just the female Barbarians.

The devs have been made aware of this. They did improve things last year after we complained about it which is appreciated.

However, I do not believe the Everfrost newbie area is close to the same as it was on live.

The problems:

-not enough level 1 mobs and far too many yellow cons for a level 1 player
-still not enough level 1-3 mobs in general

You pretty much have to be twinked to survive and progress through the Everfrost newbie zone.
