65 levelingFollow

most zones in Omens of War+ expansions

Yaddleyaddle,
You would be a better asset to the game and enjoy it more if you just played the game for the sake of having fun, let the leveling happen naturally instead making that your primary focus.

It is highly doubtful that being a level 70 is the only requirement, usually some depth is required in your toon as well.

Depth you may have achieved already getting to 65, or the lack of depth that will immediately show up when you come to be depended on and can't produce, because your main focus in the game was to "level".

While I agree with you, the fact is, unless you've been powerleveled to 70, you're most likely going to have a good grasp on your class.



I'm not following you here. Achieving 70 is a feat imho. It doesn't just happen. It can take months or even years of gameplay, depending on the player. There is nothing wrong with setting a goal and reaching it. Honorably making your character as powerful as you want is the driving force behind eq and it's what makes players great, especially for groups and guilds.



MMs were introduced in DoDh (the second to latest expansion) and more have been added in PoR (the latest expansion). If you don't have these expansions, then you can't participate. Simply, a group (not solo) approaches the quest-giver, which assigns the group a mission. You then choose your monster character, enter the zone by speaking with the quest-giver, complete the mission, the group receives one no-trade item, and you loot a shard for exp, which is given to you after you exit the mission. Previously, you die in the missions as many times as you wanted without penalty. Now, there is a limit of 5 deaths (I'm not sure if that applies to all MMs though). Also, the exp used to be very good, but, like most things, it has been nerfed. Still, MMs would be an easy way to gear up your character. Check out a lengthy discussion here.



In DoN (the third latest expansion), a new group task system was introduced given by good and evil npc in lavastorm mountains. (there are other group tasks found throughout the world, but those do not give you radiant and ebon crystals). For completing the group task in the DoN instanced zone, you receive an amount of crystals from which you can buy very decent gear from the adventure merchants found in lavastorm. You cannot get crystals for solo tasks. The experience varies per task. Here's a discussion on DoN progression.



It is similar to ldon points except the crystals are tradeable, making life much easier. The gear and augs are much better in many regards. There is loot in some DoN tasks, but there's no guarentee. Also in some tasks, you must kill a named to complete it.

Is ok, while you don't have to follow me...you will eventually understand what I mean when you get a level 70 fiting one of 2 situations.

1) you never heard of the level 70 toon before and he is asking you the most rudimentary of questions and knows nothing of the game play and how he can apply his skills to help the group.

2) you have heard of the toon before but he is still asking you the same newb questions.

For both situations there are a couple answers...the toon has been powerleveled and doesn't have the "depth" of knowledge or skills to be where he is at.

Or the toon has been bought/sold and again doesn't have the "depth" in this charactor not to get himself/you/group wiped over and over and over.




While this used to be true and still is ocassionally...toons are achieving level 70 on a daily basis via either monster missions or powerleveling(either by friends or some paid service).




Here you prove that you do have a grasp of what I am talking about...even though you said you didn't, grats!!

yup. rate up on both :D
