12:30 You're describing me pretty much! I used to play back in 2001 until about 2006, i *just* started a character on P99 Blue about a month ago and got kinda tired of empty maps as i was leveling. I learned about Quarm through some UA-cam recommendations, including your channel, and made a character about 3 days ago. There's still 50+ people in Gfay, including a lot of low levels, so the newbie zones are still pretty populated!
Congrats on your GBS! Varsoon was added pretty recently in the spawn cycle at the ruins. When he dies, Varsoon the Undying (zombie) with MASSIVE aggro range spawns. Usually people drag them to the Surefall Glade guards if they are too low to deal with it.
I've just started this last week and loving this server. I'm only lvl 4 atm. It's going to be a slow ride, for sure. Lots of people still in the lower zones, good for the server.
Absolutely! I'm sure you will have a blast. Slow is fine. 9 months of each xpac and I'm sure the server will be around for years a d years like p99. Can kind of come and go as you please and not a lot changes while you're gone. Feels nice to be able to take a break and not come back to something that feels unfamiliar
Thanks for showing off the Sirens. Went there on a 14 druid and got a level pretty quick. Might go back there and get another level in, as it's pretty chill. Also that npc is so mean. I went there one time and the undying version of that npc is nuts.. Like aggroing before you can even see him. Was bound back at Freeport so that was not a fun CR Congrats on the BGS!
Dang I just heard about the undead version haha. Sounds crazy. I got lucky not to die there would have been back to FP for me as well. That's awesome you went to the sirens! It's super chill and probably still good for a couple of levels.
Thanks for uploading these, they're a great way for me to scratch my nostalgia itch and maybe it'll even lure me back to norrath. Also I'm hoping your leveling route is gonna take you through HHK.
I really need to get in there. I love HHK but I think a lot of people do. Due to that, I've heard of the goblin camp having a 3+ hour wait list. I've also heard of you wake up really early like on your day off, you can get in a lot more quickly. If not, maybe I can lol some guards or nobles at some point. Thabo you for your comment. Glad you enjoy!
Quarm was at 1802 players when i just logged in. But you can bank on a population boom when Luclin comes out. bank on that. no matter what the p99 robots say, Luclin/PoP was the height of EverQuest. was during LOY expansion when subscriptions hit their highest - but thats really off the momentum of PoP. i see Quarm hovering at 1500-1800 and then closer to 2000 in Luclin/PoP.
Great videos! Much love for putting these out, definitely takes me back to the good ole days and inspired me to install on my Mac, very excited to get back into Norrath! I'm also a big UFC fan, Francis beat Tyson. And bummed about the Jon Jones injury, really wanted to see that Stipe fight. Have you noticed a particular class with less numbers that could be needed? Always wanted to try an enchanter/bard but seems like more work haha.
Enchanters are bards are a lot of work. Hard to ever AFK as an enchanter too. Clerics and tanks are always sought after but not the most fun for a lot of people. There are a ton of mages but even so people are happy to have 3 mages in a group, lol. I'd probably say shaman? There is a decent amount of most dps classes outside of rogues and wizards. Shaman can do it all. Their dots are a ton of damage and you can slow mobs if the healer is a druid or cleric. Or you can heal and slow instead of dotting. There are a decent amount of shamans around but everyone loves to have one in a group. Kind of a lot work too though since you will be using cannibalize, lol. I hope you get something from that ramble. Super bummed about the jones v stipe fight falling through. 9mo recovery for jones too, brutal. I wanted Nganou to get the W so bad but I still think that was a major win for him and the MMA community.
Awesome really appreciate the insight! I was a barbarian warrior on the Bertoxxulous server from the original launch, think I might give that a go in hopes to get my light sabers back one day, the coolest looking epic weapon IMO but I'm definitely biased haha. Maybe I'll make a barbarian shaman as well, they did make grouping much easier with their slows/debuffs/buffs, and their spear epic was cool too. I did make a halfling druid when I installed the other day just to mess around as I would play my buddy's halfling druid (even stole the name haha) to farm Velious armor gems/quad kite in Cobalt Scar. Also might do a necro as their solo skills are close to the top if not the best. Again much love for putting these videos out, keep up the great work! @@ClassicEverQuest
Thank you for the kind words. Hope to see you on the server. I agree with the warrior epic being the best looking. I've only ever completed 2 epics and warrior was one of them. Warrior was also my first maxed level character back in the day. See you in Norrath!
At that level i really enjoyed gorge hounds lions and griffawns and carrion spiders in the karanas. Near gorge zoneline or hhk ramp. Once you hit 20,21 you have the best camp available in south karana. A hermit. Lvl 20 single spawn 2 min timer and sometimes drops fine steel. Up to 3 fs on one kill. I lvled there from 21-26.
I like the hermit and spiders a lot. I have a feeling they will be camped but I'm definitely going to check them each time I log in. I'll have to take a look at gorge hounds. Haven't done those
@ClassicEverQuest yeah so many options at that level in that area I even did squire wimpley (wimbley) when he was a yellow con. Cleric though so you have to keep him feared. Heart flutter and heat blood smelts him. Burn most ur mana and med for next spawn.
So I looked into wimbley. That's interesting. Since he was yellow it was pretty good XP? 1 mob per 6 mins begs the question. I like the idea though. I've never camped him before.
I only play p99 and don't play Quarm yet. I'm seriously considering it though. Trying to thread the needle between letting the competition die down and being ready for Kunark. Thinking of making a bard. One thing i like about the OG EQ release is there's a lot of grouping once you hit level 25ish. As much as I love the easy solo leveling of a bard, I really enjoy being in a group and getting to flex those twisting skills. Not looking forward to White Dragon Scales bottleneck, though =/
Upper Guk seemed better than Unrest for me. I was never able to nab the 1 or 2 house groups when I tried, but got in a few decent UGuk groups. More spawns to share.
Back in the days you could give your pet a 1hand waepon (pretty much any type) and then a dagger or shortsword and it would be able to dual wield on earlier stages starting on lvl 12 or 16 (not sure... its been like 20 years lol) Same works for Shaman pets which were not supposed to dual wield but they could with this method
I'm not sure what level that started but it does work now. I tried it earlier on and it wasn't working. You're right though at some point the pet can. Probably around 16-20-24 haha. at 29 you can for sure.
@@ClassicEverQuest Cool that it still works :) Yea its helpful for mages and necros for a few levels but esp broken for shamans since their pets are not supposed to dual wield at all. it makes them as much dps as other pets (esp with shaman buffs)
Curious, do you have sense heading and /loc bound to your left/right keys? I know we dont see them in the chat windows, but maybe behind your camera? Just to level up sense heading and so you always know where you're at
I must have just missed you then! I helped Dingleberry because he also died to her again when I arrived. Stayed for a bit to help others too since I got the body before rot also. Feel bad for the guy now hahaha xD

So jealous of this camp you have here, it's a cluster on most decent leveling spots in my early 20's.
Nice little gem. I'm gonna have to find a spot for my 20s as well. From what it looks like, my usual spots are clusters.
me too! Lanys server
Varsoon came in like LET THIS MAN MAKE HIS VIDEO
Haha parted the seas!
Congrats on your GBS! Varsoon was added pretty recently in the spawn cycle at the ruins. When he dies, Varsoon the Undying (zombie) with MASSIVE aggro range spawns. Usually people drag them to the Surefall Glade guards if they are too low to deal with it.
Thank you. Interesting. I thought that would have happened here too
When i camped gbs the people there told me varsoon reborn kills the guards np hahaha
@@KrissVicious I watched them kill Varsoon the Undying one guard was around 50% the other about 75% after winning
@@boss_gamers ok cool! My first instinct would be take him to the guards. XD
Wow Glad you looted the corpse, no point in letting it rot out.
Haha for sure

Man, your story with the 2 deaths and losing your level, yeowch!!!

Not looking forward to White Dragon Scales bottleneck, though =/
I think that time is approaching! Start before 3 months so you can get yourself those legacy items!
Upper Guk seemed better than Unrest for me. I was never able to nab the 1 or 2 house groups when I tried, but got in a few decent UGuk groups. More spawns to share.
Might have to check that out. Closer run than unrest too.
Maybe they turned off the aggro and social on the sirens there because of lowbies possibly riding through on the boat? Idk wild speculation.
Not too wild, I also thought of this.
Back in the days you could give your pet a 1hand waepon (pretty much any type) and then a dagger or shortsword and it would be able to dual wield on earlier stages starting on lvl 12 or 16 (not sure... its been like 20 years lol)

Hey! Nchant helped me get my gbs too! =D
I must have just missed you then! I helped Dingleberry because he also died to her again when I arrived. Stayed for a bit to help others too since I got the body before rot also. Feel bad for the guy now hahaha xD
@KrissVicious feels bad everyone died and then nobody came back for some time. May have been a long CR.
im lvl 20 on my necro now, prefer to solo but every camp is always taken!
Yeah, it's packed. Gotta hope to find these little niche camps that will make due. Money will be tough due to perma camped spots
@@ClassicEverQuest I have resorted to running around South karana killing elephants. No way il afford the 75 to 100pp people are asking for 24 spells
Yeah, I'm going to have to figure out what to do about money real real soon. I can't imagine gargoyles on the haunted island are ever open.
Took my p99 necro to gorge around this level 17:00
What do you kill there? I don't have much gorge experience. Isn't there a lot of patrols in there?
@@ClassicEverQuest you can post up by runnyeye or karana ZL. Mobs roam in a circle and you just pull them out and fear kite
Minos and mud golems mostly
