Necromancer v Elves?

Laskey

Will my Necro get attacked in the wood elf city?

Depends on your race and religion.

You won’t get attacked for being a necromancer

This is an old post at this point but an update is that a Deep Gnome Agnostic Necromancer was cool with Faelindral straight away. Could bank/vendor not get attacked etc...

I don’t know how everyone feels about this, but I honestly loved when EverQuest started. I got lost in Neriak for over two hours and almost quit, but the fact that almost everyone hated me was amazing. I chose to be a necromancer, and I chose to have those consequences. I had to be wary of where I went and had to sneak and invis in areas. Then sometimes I could raise my standing until they no longer attacked me. It was marvelous. I can understand the annoyance, but it also gives you a sort of freedom I think many people don’t fully understand or choose to ignore. That is just IMO of course.

I can confirm even a non-agnostic deep gnome necromancer was fine in Faelindral, including merchant/bank. Everyone was "uneasy". I did not go into the upper platforms though.

right now Race has some impact on how you're seen in different cities... (Deep elves hated everywhere, I think ogre's are KoS in Keebler treehouse unless they kill a few orcs first, goblins are disdain until killing just a couple there), but I don't think religious based faction has been implemented just yet.

It's also still a little goofy unless there's a lore reason why my agnostic DE paladin is KoS to most factions in NH but amiable to steel talons after one ashira kill populated the associated factions.

I'd say this is all still a work in progress and expect it to be more fleshed out sooner than later.

The only starting city I've not checked faction for on a deep gnome is the non-city guards in AV. (agnostic Deep elves can start in either AV or UD and are not KoS in either - barring the city guards that currently exist to keep everyone out till the city is finished/citizenship quest stuff)

NarcolepticLTD If you find out for sure I'd love to know - I tried taking a Deep Gnome over to AV to see if they were KoS or not but not knowing my way around the zone I couldn't figure out how to get to any normal NPC's and just saw the city guards everywhere, which of course wanted to kill me. I'm curious if ANY race besides Deep Elves will be able to visit that city without having to faction first - Ogres, Goblins, and Deep Gnomes seem the most likely but when I briefly tried actually playing a Deep Elf I didn't see any players of other races around.

even if you wasnt, few orc kills then your fine. was there with my ogre monk wich is KOS and it took me an hour then i could go in to the city buy and sell 🙂 its not like my DE took some hours to get in to NH, my next project is Elf city 🙂

Taron just tested and they're KoS as Kos can be 😃 rolled up a sacrificial gnome and brought him to the alter of the foreign quarter. every NPC there is KoS

Taron

NarcolepticLTD Damn... I was hoping there might be some race/class/god combo that could visit all 4 cities (even if not necessarily every corner of them or be able to shop there). I bet Ogres and Goblins are KoS there too. And I know for sure DE are KoS in other places, so there's just no way to have a character that can do all of them.

Well, besides an Enchanter using illusion of course. Enchanters get all the cool stuff!

In EQ P99 I played a Human Cleric of Bertoxx which could visit almost all places good and evil - no one liked me but they'd tolerate me. In EQOA I rolled a Gnome Rogue which was one of the few combos that could use both the good and evil coach line, allowing fast travel to more locations than most other race/class combos. It looks like a combo like that just isn't going to be possible here... 🙁.

Taron the only goblins that were on the boat with my sacrifice, jumped off near whatever camp they were looking for 😃

Yeah pretty sure Ail'vorgoth is the new Cabilis at least for the time being 😃

Taron as for freedom of movement - while it may take a LOT of faction work to get into the cities, I think once they open up the sewers in NH as well as the zoneline between caves of irem and shaded dunes (and scarwood and great cavern sea I think?) getting around will be much easier. just probably not at like, level 4 for EA launch.
