Khek in Steamfont. I also hate pugs.

Another adventure log on Khek the Shadowknight’s progress! Today I dinged 36 and began my adventures in Steamfont for the very first time. This is definitely a step in the right direction in my efforts to get myself as far away from the EQ2 “old world” as possible. Like I said yesterday I’m downright sick of EL and Zek. I’ll say this as nicely as possible…. they suck so much they need to dedicate resources to revamping them. Spend a little time and make the old world zones up to par with the expansion content.

Khek in Steamfont

In Steamfont Khek found the Gnomeland Security outpost (heh heh, nice name) and picked up about 8 or so quests. I’m currently working on completing the white and yellow con quests and spending a little time grinding to fill out the exp. I definitely do not want these quests to run out nor do I want to out level the content too quickly because I’m horrified of where I might be sent next. I think that until I reach 40+ I run the risk of being forced into old world content. Perhaps Lesser Faydark and the desert locations will last until 50 or 60 and then I’ll get to explore the sky expansion, etc. As you can tell I am very much looking to the future. In fact, more so than ever before. This is the first time I have ever had a true urge to reach the higher levels in an older game. It’s something that should make the SoE team proud.

On another note my dislike for pick up groups (pugs) has increased by (10)! But really, what else is new?

Here’s a picture where I am telling the gnomes of Steamfont a story.

  • There is a 20 part quest in the crossroads of Steamfont that you probably already started Keen. Also, I think Island of Mara is 50+, think that is KotS material but I’m still a newbie to this stuff.

  • I’m getting sorta scared now. I’m about to hit level 37 and the quests left in my journal for Steamfont are either too high or running out. Maybe more open later but.. i guess I have to go to Ferrott now and hopefully that lasts until 40.

    Seeking advice!

  • Don’t worry Keen.. I found stuff to do in Steamfont even when I was lvl 58.. I believe most of the quests there are in the 40 range, and a few of them require some friends to go along into Klak’Anon. There is a pretty fun heritage quest to do there when you’re level 50..seek out the Frugrin Observatory.

    Steamfont Level range is like 38-52 on the monsters there..prolly 40+ on the quest. Exploring Feerrott is a good bet for some exploration and there are some quests there. Also, have you explored Nektulos Forest and Nektropos Castle within there? Good adventuring zones with a heritage quest in Nektropos for great AA exp and a fun item.

    Once you are about level 42-45 then you are clear to head to Sinking Sands for some desert exploration or sticking to Steamfont. You also have the option of hitting Lavastorm and Everfrost, but it’s recommended you bring a healer friend along for the heroic monsters.

    Good luck friend

    P.S. What EQ2 Server?
