Exactly How Kunark Works In EverQuest [TLP]

This is EVERYTHING you need to know about EverQuest’s 1st expansion, The Ruins of Kunark. We’re going over what changes from Classic EQ, what abilities do classes get, what quests are worth doing, what zones you should use, how to access locked zones, how to get geared, & what’s involved with raiding.

[@koopakape]

Man, I love seeing brand new high-quality guides for classic EQ content like this. Between Teek and Quarm it's definitely a great time for it too.

[@shaunwilliams3387]

Bro we need you on Quarm, need your comments and presence!

[@IonBlaze1]

Funny enough Secrets & I are gonna be in the same guild on Teek

As always, great video! Helpful as I am dabbling on Teek. 👍

Love collab!! Great video.

Great info. Thank you

[@IonBlaze1]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@UnsungHeroXx]

This is awesome and super helpful! Any chance one is in the works for Velious? I still struggle to fully understand the competing factions, ring quests, invasions, etc. and how to balance everything for the most access

[@chrisblair1838]

Really useful video, especially for newcomers. Teek hype!

[@IonBlaze1]

100%! TEEK WEEK!

[@Yevda1]

Do this for all expansions please!

[@Kaarniverous]

Hello adventurers! It's kaarnivore!

[@nopsleddelspon1560]

just noticed we're in the same guild! see you on teek

[@IonBlaze1]

Heck yeah! It's gonna be a great time

[@achall29]

Need you on Teek!

[@Bloodsaber64]

Iksars are accepted by the bloodsaber shadowknights under Qeynos, making for at least one good place to adventure antonica from.

[@mptness4389]

I got the Demi Lich Skullcap on one server and if anyone is ever unsure about it ... WORTH IT. Stacked with the leach line of spells, too. Was charm soloing in Maiden's Eye (tip - use a coterie as a charmed pet, those things are amazing and you can basically get a permanent pet), basically never dropped below 90 unless charm dropped too close to me.

[@IonBlaze1]

Oh that sounds like a great time. Necro charm is real fun

[@christopherfoley8322]

Something that some dont know, when Kunark was originally released and when it was getting closer to a guild finally raiding VP, GM's were scared of people going there, because people were told that if you get stuck in a wall, have a CoH mage, if you die, thats what you have a necromancer for. Was one of the first times i heard of GM's pretty much saying "A bug kills you, fuck you, ask a guildmmate to help you"

[@iksarguards]

The plate restriction goes away, but their racial armor bonus does not. Making them perpetually in the conversation for best tank (with ogres). They can also forage and have a swim speed buff. Easily the greatest race of all time.

[@ernestscribner9184]

Iksars also have a high Swimming skill and can Forage, which is great for tradeskills.

[@IonBlaze1]

Forage is great for that free food

[@iwinnimi]

My iksar shaman is ally with gnomes. Wood elves. High elves. Dwarves. Dark elf and ogre...I haven't checked the others... but the amount of boxed power leveling I do. For my other classes. My iksar is loved almost every place

[@Sourpickels]

Bro came rdy with shirt and tie! 🫡

[@demris15]

Didn’t mention the Paleontologist quest line… very cool items

[@IonBlaze1]

Oh I've never done those. I need to look it up

[@montecorbit8280]

At 14:05 Ranga BP You failed to mention the ranger breastplate. It gives you a a clicky port to LFay!!

[@IonBlaze1]

Yeah my dad had that. It's a really cool item!

[@montecorbit8280]

@@IonBlaze1 My rangers still uses it at level 66....he is never stuck anywhere!! After the AA "Endless Quiver", the bracer isn't really useful. It really isn't all that useful before that, for that matter. You often need high level arrows in order to do the damage you need to do....the bracer's arrows are nothing more than what the mage can summon. Anyway, good video....thank you for making it!!

[@kungfujoe2136]

iksar rule shamy and necro (and bst) let's go!!

[@jaredhatz3875]

What is your opinion on going bard right off the bat for tlp I presume you will - any big advantages, maybe less people starting bard so more raid gear? Is the auto song playing in the game on Teek or is it old school?

[@IonBlaze1]

I'm doing bard but it's not great until luclin post honestly. Enchanter is Soooo much more powerful at the same job & can mez better. Raid gear might even be harder to get on bard cause tanks also need plate desperately. But teek is a loot pinata so it'll be fine. The melody command is in game & bandolier for fast instrument swaps

[@jaredhatz3875]

@@IonBlaze1guess I’ll go for the fun of the journey and not the end destination- bard it is! I’ve never played with melody or weapon swap. Maybe it’ll be easy mode. First time dad now, so I’m a filthy casual.

[@TommyKyle-gj8rn]

Nice video 👏 👏 👏 🙇‍♂️ But which TLP server is classic on ? I thought it was on P 99 I didn’t know EQ had a classic TLP. I tried googling all of the TLP servers but it’s not telling me what is what. Thank you !!!!

[@IonBlaze1]

Oh there's 2 new servers dropping tomorrow. Everyone's going for teek cause it'll be a loot pinata

[@TommyKyle-gj8rn]

So classic is dropping tomorrow then kunark ? Thats what I mean. I didn’t know what or which realm classic was on. So what you’re showing is from the beta ?

[@shivur5073]

​@@TommyKyle-gj8rn it's on regular everquest client. It eill release tomorrow at noon PST. It's starting in kunark. You have to have an active subscription to play

[@TommyKyle-gj8rn]

@@shivur5073 okay thank you.

[@IonBlaze1]

@@TommyKyle-gj8rn yeah it's gonna be an official server. Starts with classic & Kunark unlocked at launch

[@rmayans63]

As a new player should i start on a TLP server?

[@IonBlaze1]

If you don't know the controls, I would do the tutorial on a free server like Firiona Vie. Then once you got a handle on it, you can get a 1 month sub & try out the newest Teek server. You got like a month left before I think low level grouping will completely dry up This is an old video explaining how to get started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foe5inR4nNOdesk

[@llarrswind]

are you playing on teek? or has someone stole your name?

[@IonBlaze1]

Haha shhh I'm undercover :)

[@Lessthanpropane]

I was looking to buy the breeze spell for my enchanter until I realized its not in quarm yet 😂

[@nevick2]

I will be on the first boat to firiona vie to get it on july the 1st.

[@IonBlaze1]

That's a pro to this Kunark start on teek. It will be there

[@konstantinpospelov951]

Is it free to play TLP?

[@IonBlaze1]

No unfortunately. Gotta be subbed

[@Smullik]

Will we be seeing you in Teek?

[@scottnelson2049]

Great video as always but small peeve: There's no such thing as "threat" in EverQuest. That's a different game.

[@IonBlaze1]

Yeah that's true lol. Thank you for watching :)

[@zStC1]

My guy.. its an eq video you dont gotta wear a tye like its an interview 😂 good video anyways.

[@IonBlaze1]

Hahaha! I got so many that I gotta use them though!

[@Merknilash]

Kunark was an incredible expansion to live through in 2000 But for TLPs I think it’s awful. The raids suck and a lot of the drops suck.
