View Full Version : Solo PvE for Alfar newbies.

Friend is starting the game and I wanted to know the best place for him to grind up some skills and gold solo around the alfar areas. I know goblins is the obvious choice but they are always far too crowded (especially with more sales soon)
I was thinking Kobolds, but are these the best?
Are there any repeatable quests that could help him along? (someone told me the Kobold repeatable has been nerfed but I can't get in game for a week or so to check it out)
Thanks :ninja:

Kobolds was nerfed. They spawn about 1 per 20 minutes.

Get him an active clan and throw him into the PvP!

Give him a skining knife and have at all the stones near goblins. The players love it because it removes the stones and he gets free loot for checking them. Also He gets to kikll a few to train up his skills when they attack him.
This method really teaches the player mentality with alot less risj and he gets gold in the process.
I dont know how it is since the patch but kobolds alone was a suicide run in alfar lands when I was there. We would roll through with 30-60 alignmnet and 5-8 guys armed and just pwn that spawn for the quest gold till we were out of alignmnet. Then the next group slightly less armed and numbered would be waiting for us to finish. Or they would be naked with noob weps cause we moped the floor with them already!
Next stop dun amahar(something) and revanents. These guys are tricky and there arer plenty of pks around but they pay much better and drop regs that are great for leveling up GM. I would say they are soloable but are a breeze with 2
Skeltons zombies and bone knights are heavily camped by players who want to or do own the bone buisness. With out proper gear and 2-3 as above with the kobolds this could be bad. Occasionaly a solo player can brezze on through to finish the quests but if you want to farm there bring a damm good group.
Hive kin. There is a repeatable quest for these they dont drop gold but the quest is fine. These guys drop herbs. And the harder ones sulfer. They are pretty much bottem of the barrel Ive got no where to go today scrap pile for a hunt unless ya are hitting on the queen. She drops good regs and even a rare steed grass. Plus some harder to obtain(for alfar) food products such as meat. She also seems to drop seletine keys far more often then any other mob. She spawns slow an is guarded by her brood who hit hard and run like f-n madd and drop a measly few sulfer. Faster mining then these on sulfer but the queen makes it worth at least something if ya get a key or a grass. She also does count for the quest but its hard to make up the 10 with her and her brood
when your done with these that is where the game gets tough.
Trolls yea they drop easy gold and decent regs but it is the one place players dont mind going red. MOST CONVEINT NON TOWERED BANK! Unless your in for the real deal(FFA) steer clear of this area. This spot seems to be the one place where no one is hunting the spawn just waiting on spawn to make a fight easy to win for them. Cheap tactics and back stabbing galore!
Man scorpians. These guys skinn for a few great resources to crafters and decent regs but no gold. There is a repeatable quest but it is HARD to finish solo or even with 3
