Would it be possible for a level 60 pureblade(no creds) to survive in places like astral or the catacombs? What kinds of cures do I need to hunt there? Are there any crazy-big-requires like level 2000 to kill-scary monsters that wander around? Do the monsters go through shields? Will they chase me when I run?


On a related note, what's the deal with gates? I tried getting to the elemental planes through the ethereal plane first but the exit from Glomdoring to the Faethorn Realm wasn't there and I didn't really know where to go. Once I get astral in planar are there any gates from the prime plane directly to any plane other than ethereal? Is it worth it to keep going past astrogate to try to get things like link and gateweave?

Sorry for the plethora of questions but hey, what can I do?

Thanks.

Level 60 might be cutting it close. I don't know much about warriors, especially warriors without many credits, but I know I certainly wouldn't survive at level 60.

As for cures, there aren't very many. Just broken legs/arms, deafness, and blindness. You probably don't want to take on parasites or scorpions though. Parasites suck power and aren't worth much exp and scorpions inflict with random poisons.

Basically every monster on Astral requires a rather high level. There are gusts of sparkling wind that are really Manifestations of the Dreaming, but they aren't aggressive. Manifestations are incredibly painful.

They will break shields and they will chase. Best bet is to fly if you can or burrow if you can (flying won't work against eagles though).


To get to the Earth gate from Glomdoring, enter the archway of thorns. ENTER ARCHWAY is what you're susposed to do. And no, no gates leading to anywhere but Ethereal from Prime unless you get a Mage or Guardian to use their skill and transport you to an Elemental or Cosmic plane respectively. Definitely worth it to keep going in Planar until Transcendent. You'll need Link to use Astral to its full extent and Broadcast is handy. The best skill of all is Conglutination which instantly revives you if you die on a plane.

With no credits, odds are you will die horribly up there. Astral MIGHT be possible, if you run alot and fight the non linked mobs. Catacombs will just own you though. The monsters break shields, and are aggro.

Igasho + Surge at level 60 could hunt alot of stuff other races couldn't.

If he has no credits, i'm betting he won't have surge.

You'll be fine on Astral as long as you don't link to nodes of power (which summons extra-strong creatures). I started bashing it in the mid 60's, but I'm a Druid so you should find it easier as a warrior with more protection.

The Catacombs, however, really feels like its more for 90+ or large groups. I'm level 79, and I still don't have much of a chance in there.

He may be tankier, but unless he's trans knighthood, he ain't going to be a uber-damager.

Anyone have advice where a level 60 moondancin' human might find fun to hunt, I'm currently slaughtering gorgogs and influencing the centaurs in the wilde.
Should i stick with that or is there something better?

The gorgog, merian, krokani and aslaran is great for ages it seems Im just level 74 shadowdancer so our bashing isnt to different and it is just starting to feel a bit to easy about now, Plus the gold is amazing.

They all are nice for level 97 too.
I come there for gold mainly but i get a bit of exp too.

And we need more bashing places still. I dont know if new valley and underwater place is so bashed out like krokanis aslarnas and Arysian islands.

Yea i need to visit valley and kill some wolfs. Maybe its not that bad place to bash on prime?

I assume by valley your talking about the Verasavir valley, which is bad experiance, bad gold, i mean it's good for those 30-50 but above that's it's pretty bad, the only real thing that gets money in is killing foxes and giving them to the fox-hunter, other then that it's just there for the quests and quick bashing.

Then we need few more bashing spots for level 70+, like grey moors and arysian islands, not all level 70+ can bash astral.

I've been bashing the Catacombs since level 75, it's just a little harder than unlinked creatures on Astral as long as you fight them one at a time and hit and run with wights (if you're there alone). If you have 4k+ health you're fine, you just have to be careful not to get overwhelmed.

Edit: And as long as you have the right cures, but the afflictions aren't bad.

Unless you are trans resilience, Catacombs/Astral is just too much bother. I get virtually as much experience from influencing guards/questing/killing gorgogs and merians as I do from the stints in Astral or the Catacombs.

I want catacumbs!!

Its just SWEET gold. Wow, how many credits i could buy with prices right now. It would be 5cr per run.

Hmm i need takeover catacumbs somehow

Yeah we definetly need more places like the merians and such. I've never been to taurian land but I'm going soon.

To be honest, in some ways I wish I was still a Furrikin ur'Guard. I get about 50% Esteem from one trip around the city influencing the guards, and if I was a furrikin still I would influence so fast it would be disgusting.

Ya I cant survive astral or the cata, and im starting to feel bad killing all the aslaran and krokani for the lower level people.

I'm an omni-trans (well, not technically anymore now...) lv 80 knight, with good armour, artifact weapons, all kinds of cures, etc... The Catacombs completely own me. I walk into a room with 7k HP, and almost instantly die.

You know, you need a bit of strattegy too.

Dont go in room with more then one creature. Squint a lot to be sure that you dont go in trap. Always have way to run and heal.
Its not just simple pushing macro key.
