My skald is lvl 36 now and really it's the hardest level I've ever had till now. Solo pvp'ing is almost impossible, every single lvl 50 you come accross will instantly attack you and at this lvl you can't do much against them as you will die in 1 or 2 hits. Even being a skald with speed 4 + insta snare and insta mezz didnt help me of getting almost chain killed by lvl 50's all the time. The gold I lost is about 10x as much as the gold I gained at this level. Seems like there is also not a lot to kill around your lvl at lvl 36, it's either all grey/green or all purp to you. Is the only way of surviving this lvl by grouping or xp'ing till you at least reach lvl 40?

The worse thing is when a fg of grey con try to kill you and a lvl 50 has to leech also, that's really sad...Happened yesterday to me, fg of greys were attacking me I was kinda killing them 1 by 1 till a lvl 50 came and 1 shotted me :/. Groupping isn't a good option for me as I almost always play at off-hours on camlann where there is almost no one to group.

its tough.

i pk'd, but thats *not* possible nowadays, atleast not solo (tough enough to solo as a lvl 50)

best bet is to either solo pve (zzz), or find a friendly necro/someone to duo pve with :eek:

I survived level 36 by exping/pvping in triebh. You can always try to pk around zones your level, where there are sometimes people your level. Or you can just exp there.

Solo PVE is indeed zzzz, getting 0.05 bub for a yellow con and 0.08 bub for a oj kill...It's at least not do-able without end regen :(

hehe thanks for the offer windforce, but some kind savage I groupped with early on gave me a 99% crafted 2 handed sword...It's yellow con now, dps 11.7 I think so working well. Gonna respec to hammer anyway (if I can get him to 40 that is ;)). Well solo pve'ing with a skald isnt effective even if you have good equipment cause there will always be some downtime cause of end etc. I always end up having no end at the end of a fight cause the sword styles suck up big end. Also got a little problem with armor, 1 piece is AF88 toa, 3 pieces is DF emerald (yellow) but BP and legs are blue con. Anyway, think the best bet is to PVE in classic/si and take a shammie bot with me on 2nd account or group with a shammie to xp...

i would say get df groups and also go gank solo 50's but your playtime hours are different. solo xp to 40 then you have a chance of getting in ppl's lvl 50 ish unguilded groups. its really hard work 36-50 but i set myself to get 5 bubs each time i played. anymore i kinda get fed up.

also my friend Before helped me along the way cheers m8

actually skald is a pretty good char to solo pve with, due to your health regen song.

Yep health regen rox, regens 4% every x seconds instead of 1 or 2 :). The real annoying problem is endu and sometimes power tho (altho I never run oop but sometimes it gets close to 30-40% after some fights when I snare/2xdd+mezz pull). I'll see if I can get a quite spot and take a lvl 20 shammie there, should work better :)

just use bounty points to get end regen then some end pots too.

Bounty point jewels dont give you end regen, they give you an end heal, kinda useless as you have to pay 400 bpts for 80(or so, I never found them viable) end point heal.

Endurance, power or hp potions fullify all needs.


Bounty gems give no extra over them. Plus their bounty point price is overrated :)

what else are you gonna do with your BPs?
Store them up and brag on /gu by how many you've got.

I have 29k bpt on Camlann btw >< Get bpts much more easily on Camlann then the rvr servers.

My skald is lvl 36 now ....

I can sympathise, my Hunter is 37 and has exactly the same problems you describe. I started Camlann so I could PvP but at 36 that now seems impossible.

All those @ 36 -> 44 seem to run off to find quiet spots to retire or PvE level, all those 45-50 seem to just hunt lowbies....

My thoughts too were to get a BB to help grind through PvE....

Didn't say you shouldn't buy those gems from your bpts, I wouldn't as pots are simply better :)


Keeps "eat" bounty points from the guilds bounty point pool, not the players.

sure would love to, but atm I'm kinda busy with my study, got an exam monday which I need to pass or it will be a very hard year for me. I'm playing alb/prydwen anyway when I have some free time to play DAoC. I've now blown up 2 graphic cards playing daoc, both same problem the GPU chip got blown up cause of a non-working or at least not good working cooler. The first one had an active cooler, was a Ti 4400 and suddenly the cooler stopped working while playing daoc without me knowing it...Got lines and strange blocks on my screen, graphic card rip...Now I've got a replacement from my bro's comp. shop till the old one is repaired, it was a Radeon 9550 with a passive cooler but yesterday the GPU blown up again cause the passive cooler couldnt keep the GPU cool...Now I got another graphic card which I need to look out with :(
