Returning after 15 years - questions about leveling and templating
Posted: Sat May 06, 2023 9:46 pm
Hi,
I just started on Eden. I played DAoC for 4-5 years back in the days, mostly on German server Stonehenge. I loved the game to death and still remember a lot of the stuff. I know how enchanting / items / stats work and remember most game mechanics.
But I am a bit lost when it comes to eden specialities (never played on a private server) and where to start. I started as Alb/Sorc but I'm not fully decided on class / realm.
1. I started out doing quests in the quest hubs described in the wiki. I heared that battlegrounds is a fast way of leveling? Does that mean questing there or PvP?
2. I heard that getting template items after 50 can get a bit grindy. I have a limited time span in which I can play (~21:00 - 0:00 EU time) and like to do things solo. I don't have anything against group play, but I like to play the gema at my pace and solo is usually more chill. Is it even possible to farm a full template solo? I don't mind joining a raid from time to time.
3. Where do I start once I'm level 50? What are general steps to get endgame loot? I guess farming some good ROGs is a good base? I would be open to creating a farming char like Necro (friar?) or BD if it means I can acquire items / currency quicker. What raids would I have to attend?
4. Any guilds around that are active in my playing time? Maybe even some old Stonehenge people?
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance .
