Running from New Tangoor to Barbarian Area

[jones5414]

A friend started a level 1 toon in the Wood Elf area for his wife and wanted to bring it to the barbarian area where his toon was going to be created.

It took 5 hours and 32 deaths to make that run.

Question, is there an easier way to get level 1 toons from different continets together that he just did not use?

travelling by foot is real dangerous in this game and i love it for that. sense of adventure and you're confined to progress through the world before advancing to another area.

Yup, at that low level it's a rough trip, but worth it I think :D

I made that run (the other way round) a few days before the end of beta hehe

The safest way to travel on foot are the roads, which are still not 100% safe. I will have to agree with the above poster, I love the game for that. It involves being VERY careful to do anything your not supposed to, like travel 1/3 of the way across a continent, like the OP's friend did.

Pretty much:

A.) Stay on the roads at all times.
B.) Always look out, just in case some purple mob is near the road.
C.) Level up first. =)

The safest way is to do as little overland travel as you can. Not sure where you had to go, but swimming around the continent in open ocean is generally devoid of any mobs. So, swim to the shortest land route and hope for the best after that.



I ran a lvl 1 Valmane shaman to Kojan and went through numerous deaths that I was about ready to just level him up to 8 for SoW (spirit of recurr or whatever). If you get agro, hit sprint and try to get that much farther. Maybe you'll get closer to the shrine for respawn thats farther ahead instead of the one behind you. I pretty much ran my shaman like this

Tried other more direct ways, but always died. The run to the river part was fairly easy. The swim down the river was easy (don't use the roads by the river) the part right before Tree of Sorrow was...painful. Once to Tree- of Sorrow, it was an easy ocean swim to New Targonor.

Should point out, swimming the river only really works one way, since there are many drops :)

That is a great point, I actually saved a lot of time by random but luckily very timely deaths that would revive me a few km up the road from where I died :) So that is one advantage of doing your run <7 ;)
