[quote="HOUNDEYE"]So I followed a levelling guide that said i should go Hoarde Shanis at 84str... I am getting annihilated. 150-200 pots pretty much instanlty gone with knuk. Is this normal? I can't afford to do that...[/quote]

[quote="MAD_MAX"]Yeah that's normal, you need use a tank to do +50[/quote]

[quote="HOUNDEYE"]I dont have a tank and I'm doing knuk so i can't even cliff. Do you know a more realistic guide for a solo player?[/quote]

[quote="TYPHIN"]the +50 is the 'ideal route' it is not the only route most have their starting char to get them going where its more chill or you have a friend tank for you[/quote]

[quote="HOUNDEYE"]The idea is to use this char as a tank for the perfect char but the only guide ive seen must be for the perfect char. I'm getting destroyed at hoarde hahaha[/quote]

[quote="TIEFER"]Go Palus, they're great because you can do them one at a time, and also get some decent drops.[/quote]

[quote="TIEFER"]Also if you PM me in game I'm sure I have some epic knuckles somewhere. Ill dig them out for you.[/quote]

[quote="GENTRY"]try cyclone shanis in bone armor[/quote]

Someone else helped me out earlier with a rap knuk-m and some real good upgraded accessories. Can't remember his name now but he was a legend. It's people helping each other out that makes this game great! Let me know when you're in game![/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]As much as the gm’s have tried to help levelling wise with the ability now to hunt mobs like raps, trolls, warmess etc without losing much stats as opposed to the +50 route by the time you do come to Shanis your gonna find it hard still without a tank or friends tanking and also most likely with a lot less gear when you go toe to toe with your first fight with Shanis. You have a few options though so don’t be put off just yet.... You could farm Palus in /freemode trade your small diamonds for frogs/dp’s and with the new anvil change make some bone helm/top/pads +2 (4%) evasion plus hero 1 boots to give yourself a little help. Plus farming Palus by time you have the above gear you should be near enough at 200 knuckle skill which will give you higher attack per hit to help at Shanis. When you are at Shanis to start with best if you can if on your own to lure 1 away so your not getting mobbed.[/quote]

[quote="DANOT"]If you do palus from 84-91 str, it will make very little difference to your stats at endgame. Plus, there's the chance of some small diamonds to trade. Doing hoarde or BLG from 84-91 is painful even with a tank or healer. Especially as up to 84 str it's so fast, it's like hitting a brick wall. Same goes for 105-111 str. The optimal route is to do blg there but it can be very slow with lots of pot runs. Instead, do cyclone shanis. You'll be in the +10 bracket instead of +30 at BLG but it's about 3x faster and you'll lose barely anything compared to someone who did BLG. [/quote]

[quote="DOUAVACADO"]Try and rummage up enough to trade for some basic 3% eva pieces of armour, makes a huge difference on pots! Or try to trade for items to make your own eva as that is important if levelling bow or knuck, some basic eva parts + dodge is beast for levelling [/quote]

[quote="HOUNDEYE"] solid advice guys thank you[/quote]
