In all seriousness, is this your first toon?

If so, start in field of bone. Kill stuff in newbie yard. Save scaled wolf hides and turn in to haggle baron for free armor.

Save all of your bone chips. Send Sheldyn a tell in game. I will buy them for 10pp a stack.

Go on the p99 wiki. Read the greenmist quest and do it as you level. The sooner you get that weapon, the better. You can one group or solo almost all of it.

Stay around FOB until you are high enough to go to kurns tower. Group there until 20ish.

Make friends with a shaman at or around your level. Stick to them like glue till forever. Not much a well played shaman/sk duo cannot do.

Once you have some plat saved try to get a MoSS or Noct blade. SBS or ateamentous shield. Around lvl 50 or sooner if you can afford it get a good 2h weapon. Keep all weapon skills trained.

IF this is your first character you have a very hard road ahead of you. I did this on Sheldyn and it was extremely difficult. If you have any interest at all in playing an enchanter or necro I would urge you to level those classes get rich and fund your SK gear. (they can solo and require very minimal gear)

I got the same advice. I didn’t listen to it either.

Send me a tell in game. I have a toon in cabilis with half a set of dreadscale armor waiting for someone like you.

That should get you started out. Incredibly fun class, amazing quests, wonderful group tank/puller.

Iksar SK is fun. If that's want you want to play don't listen to anyone telling you to play something else. Know you won't have the easiest road ahead of you, but it will still be rewarding.

I had to at least warn them that the road they are about to take really is brutal. It’s easier now with velious out and more armor options though. I started Shelly prior to velious release and then took a 6 year break before even getting 60.

Hard doesn’t = not fun.

Also. It’s a matter of of perspective, and what each player wants to do in this game. When I rolled my SK I never thought I’d be raiding in Kael or TOV. I wanted a greenmist and a class that I could solo on because I didn’t have a ton of time to play.

Took a long break and came back. Made friends with some folks in AG and ended up being a raider. SK’s are great in raids if they take the time to learn what they can and cannot do.

Pet trains, ripping mobs out of trains, tanking trash mobs and hot minis, and any kunark boss will keep most people busy and satisfied. Spend a bunch of dkp and you can even tank vindi, some wtov dragons and even zlandicar.

Getting way ahead of myself either way lol.

OP enjoy your sk. They’re great fun. I wasn’t trying to tell you not to make one, play whatever you want! And if you ever need help or have a question don’t hesitate to reach out.

I just had a rough time leveling mine as a brand new toon. Had an even harder time raiding on one as a first raid character. (In fact after 6 months I made an enchanter and then a warrior, still enjoy my sk but man every upgrade my warrior gets you can feel the difference in overall power, and chanters are just god mode fun)

Make a troll SK instead and kill guards to fund your gear. Troll SKs get the regen and don't have to worry about being KoS everywhere.

Being KOS everywhere just expands the menu. If you're going to be evil you might as well be the evilest race going <3
