f0xx Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Drstam, Travl, Shudde'mel are all easy and fast to get with a group. Later on you can work to replace Drstam with Traven, Travl with a guardian of desolation, or Gasteride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Is Travl the executioner in Mino-topia? I thought he was always a good wack if he can still be raised. Ah... Who else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Travl is within the dwarf town near the bear. Careful he hits the entire group. But dirts and bashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddmann Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ok so i guess i thought those were the end goal, being that theres not a whole lot of people around i was wondering if there were like stepping stones to get to that point.. i tried to get drstam by myself and jist aboit died lol.. i got a crab and a cult lookout just to have more bodies to cover me but that didnt work too well.

Dale Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 The cook in flying citadel is nice, magical damage - acid blasts mess him upGigantic crab is always a good started, dirts bashes and is hastedDrstam after you get those two should be a breeze even the lion guardian guys in the hamlet can be a decent starter Good ending zombiesTravens from desolationDesolation GuardiansShudde M'ellI like the inn keeper from winter too since he does divine power dmg I want to add that I am not the best Necro, perhaps Mindflayer could chime in with better info.

muddmann Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ok well ima try that and well see how it goes.. im mot the best with th lay of the lands lol still have a bit to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enethier Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Cult lookout IMO isn't a good stepping stone. If you can raise him, you can raise mahn-zhar. Mahn is probably the best leveling zombie, and he stays relevant when you need to upgrade. With him and a crab, and consumables, drstam is easy @40ish, which replaces mahn. Travl will replace the crab. Shudde at 50. Deso guardian replaces mahn, traven replaces travl. If you need a more seem less transition and grouping is scarce, replace crab with gasteride like f0xx suggested I would think.Though I am with Dale. If you want the best necro advice, ask Mindflayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddmann Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 That would be cool.. havent seen mindflayer in a while tho.. could i get some approximate directions to those guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 To be honest, I did better with the new setup. Traven, Shudde M'ell and Gasteride.That's when the change about zombies having to be different types happened. He used to walk around with 3 Travens.

Dale Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Gasteride is within Gasterides fortress north and east of Maelbrim and is very difficult to get to, maybe impossible alone.Travl is in the dwarven town south of blackwatch.Travens as well as the guardians of desolation are within desolation, west of Dischord. - Hard to impossible alone as a necro.Shudde M'ell is in the Caverns of Shudde M'ell which is within the ruins of Anduin. http://theforsakenlands.com/wiki/main/wiki.pl?World_Map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmm Coffee Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Best zombies that you can get solo: TravlLirinDrstamShudde'mell Once you have any three of those, trade in Lirin for the Innkeeper from Winter - 3 attacks/round, divine damage, trips a lot Once you have Travl/Drstam, Shudde and Innkeeper...get yourself a wand of wind. To kill Drstam, try making your stone golem take the damage while you mal him up...curse/weaken/blind/plague/poison. Then use vampiric touch as needed while your zombies do the rest. Killing Shudde solo requires some knowledge that we can't share. If you don't know how, try asking in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 You mentioned wand of wind but why? Don't necro's have Faerie Fire? Or are you referring to another wand of wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Erelei Posted July 31, 2014 Implementor Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Wand of wind contains hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magick Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Perhaps the floating wand was the intended wand? -- Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was thinking of the one from elemental canyon, low lvl faerie fire. Didn't know there was a hurricane one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddmann Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 ok so next question is what should i look for in equipment? saves armor class? im not really sure anything would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 OK - Equipment Im going to suggest going max hp at this stage until you get a feel for what you're likely to combat in the future. Rings of fire are great as a hp/mana/saves combo (can evils use these? lol... Fail if they cant its been a LOOONG time.) USE THE WIKI! - Im going to pick out some things which should be easy for you to kill. a Cube of Force diamond cube force antigood, antineutral, glow, invis, magic, psienhance 2 15 50 AC -5, HP 25, STR 1 Mhordren, the master warrior Keep of Myran Dammel 0 0 a Ring of Fireadamantite ring fire glow, hum 2 4 50 savingaffl -7, savingmental -3, mana 35, INT 2 ?

Aulian Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 So its a little messy yes, but all the info is there. Click on the links for a bit of a better format about the information on each piece. The wiki is your friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magick Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 To get the 'unknown' out of Aulian's post: a pair of runed-black gauntlets leather runed black gauntlets glow, socketable 7 15 28 damroll 1, mana 30, STR 1 Dark-Knight Mercenary New Decobru 6 7 7 5 hands 0 1 a suit of black eog bodyarmor leather eog bodyarmor antineutral, hum, psienhance, socketable 8 10 45 savingaffl -5, HP 25 Dhaemon Keep of Myran Dammel 9 0 11 0 torso 0 0 the Crabshell leggings shells crabshell leggings hum 30 10 50 HP 30, mana 10 The Keeper of Crabs The Sunken Ship 15 15 15 0 legs 0 1 boots of protection steel boots protection glow 5 10 46 AC -10, savingaffl -5, savingmaled -5 Brenhwyvar Citadel of Kaer Banor 6 3 8 4 feet 0 1 a Minor Globe of Invulnerability ethereal globe minor glow, magic 0 10 27 savingmental -8, savingmaled -5, damroll 1, hitroll 1 a large pedestal Minoma 5 6 5 16 body 0 1a blue bracer steel blue bracer none 1 2500 50 AC -5, HP 15, mana 15 The Blue Sergeant Crystalmir Caverns 5 5 5 5 wrist 0 0 Yes, the Ring of Fire can be used by evil's too. Or now. Whatever, the wiki is accurate. Held by the Elf Lord.Gargantuan Squid hat is held by the ... wait for it. Gargantuan Squid. The Wiki is a great place to go, even to get started. As for the list of things you can kill, some will take more effort than others. The Dark-Knight Mercenary and Blue Sergeant (level 30) will be cake next to the Gargantuan Squid and the Swamp King (level 50's and swings). But still can be done solo. Also as Aulian stated, it's a starting point.Also, don't forget to ask in game and for help with getting some of those bigger zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
