WORK IN PROGRESS Self-found is the most satisfying leveling experience and you can't change my mind.
What is 'Self-found'?
Self-found can mean different things to different people and I hesitate to put hard "rules" to it. I'll put the 2 main ideas instead.
- You acquired your own gear and it feels pretty damn good. - If you're equipping it, you killed it, looted it, crafted it, and/or quested it.
- You did it on your own or with similarly leveled friends. - You weren't powerleveled, buffed to the teeth, or babysat while you did it.
In this guide, our next step is to lock ourselves to Kunark. We'll need to work with what the game gives in the greatest expansion of any game of all time.
How it applies to this Guide
From here on out, I'm going going to assume that you are:
- An Iksar who bathes regularly.
- Not traveling outside of Kunark.*
- Not trading.*
- Not twinking nor accepting handouts.
Anyone exploring Kunark may still find pieces of it helpful!
**There is no exception to not bathing.
General Information
This isn't a guide that's going to hold your hand, Cazic would not allow it. The goal is to point you in the direction of interesting locations, items, and quests. Beyond a few minor tips, it will be up to you to figure out how to achieve each.
Quest Lines
These quests have a wide range of usefulness. I'll likely skip mentioning the ones with asterisks after this point.
Class | Class Quest | Armor/Misc Quests |
---|---|---|
Monk | Shackles | Sparring Armor* |
Necromancer | Skullcaps | Intensify Death, Renew Bones |
Shadow Knight | Khukris | Dreadscale |
Shaman | Cudgels | Scaled Mystic |
Warrior | Pikes* | Trooper Scale |
Tradeskills
Blacksmithing - Basically a requirement for Shamen, Shadow Knights, and Warriors. You will require the corresponding banded armor to turn in with your class armor quests as you enter your 20s.
You can start wielding forged weapons and crafting Banded Armor in your early teens, Cabilis Scale Mail around 20, and Imbued Cabilis Scale Mail around 30.
Brewing - You may not need to brew anything for a while, but if you save up all of the foraged food you collect, it will save you a lot of money and time when you do go to level it.
Save all of your Froglok Blood and Iksar Blood - The froglok slaves in Cabilis have a very small chance to drop blood, so kill them when you run by! Don't worry, we can get more.
Tailoring - Nice for Necromancers, huge for Monks. Necromancers will benefit from filling all of their armor slots with Raw Silk Armor. Monks will want to get into Cured Silk Armor as soon as possible. There's plenty of spider killing in your future.
Fletching - Having a bow when pulling in these massive Kunark zones is a life saver.
Getting Started
Do not delete your starting item from turning in your guild note. You will have to do a very painful quest to get it back later on. Also, your whole lizard family will be ashamed of you. And they will hate you.
Free Bags
As far as I can tell, most classes can get most of these bags as long as they've turned in their initial guild note. There will be exceptions based on your class / starting faction with each guild.
