New Swashbuckler, One Question

[Den]

Hey all, new swashbuckler and new to the game all together here. I just have 1 question. I'm currently lvl 21 and was looking at eq2.ogaming.com to see where I could buy new skills (since I haven't seen a trainer anywhere in Qeynos) and I noticed TONS of skills are sold in Freeport but none in Qeynos. Is there a trainer anywhere in Qeynos or do I have to go to Freeport? And how will I do that since I'm alligned with Qeynos =p?Sorry for the newb question.<div></div>

All of your skills level 1-50 are recieved automatically when you gain a level, these are awarded at apprecntice 1 level (exceptions: Level 20, Trick of the Hunter from Splitpaw merchant after you have gain trust of the splitpaw gnolls, Level 35, Ruthless Cunning from Bloodline Chronicles, quest reward at appentice 2, or can be purchased/made at adept 3). You can buy upgrades to your skills from brokers, (all the qeynos brokers or the blackmarket broker in Qeynos Harbour). These can be purchased at app 2,3 & 4, adept 1 & 3 and master 1. Alternatively you can have a jeweller make you an adept 3 of a particular skill, however you will probably be required to provide the rare harvest needed to make it.Also, the Swashbuckler Trainer is at the top of the tree in Elddar Grove, he sells our "fluff" spells and also all our skills at apprentice 2 (I think).Anything else, just ask, except for the brigands and assassins and monks and wardens and..... well, you get the idea, that constantly butt in to our forums, we a pretty nice bunch of people <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><span>:smileysurprised:</span><span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><span>:smileysurprised:</span><span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

<div></div>Thanks for the reply =), I never even knew about the black market broker. So I guess all "skullduggery" skills (like snoop) I'll have to just wait and find on one of the brokers?edit: and sorry for one more noob question lol .. but where do I find new poisons? I see people saying how you can have 3 different kinds on but alchemists are the only ones I see that sell poisons and they still sell the exact same stuff as they did when I was like lvl 10, and they don't sell any "debuff" poisons or anything. I'm still using lvl 10 poisons and was wandering where I should get the lvl 20 ones.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Denix on <span class=date_text>05-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:12 PM</span>

certain skills are not upgradable and are not replaced over levels (general rule is you get a skill replaced after 14 levels) your self sneak, group sneak and cheapshot are not upgradable, the skills that are upgradable will have the current skill level (probably mostly Apprentice 1 for you by the sounds of it) as part of the name of the skill.<div></div>

the best poisons to get are player made, you can find an alchemist by either spamming chat channels, searching on broker for lvl 20-30 potions and poisons, or searching for fighter class adept 3's (alchies make those), once you find an alchie, they should be able to tell you what they require for making poisons.<div></div>

Alright I think I got it now. Thanks for the advice much appreciated =)<div></div>

<P>If you haven't already I'd suggest crafting with an alchemist.  Keep his lvl up with yours.  It's by far the MOST important and satisfying decision I've made in this game.  You'll have a wide range of poisons/debuffs/self buffs/resist potions/health-power regain potions to choose from.  Unless you've got a wife or kid or really close friend that is willing to slave for you and craft your poisons and potions for the duration of the game it'll be the best investment you will ever make imho.  They are easy to level 'cause there are so many recipiece and you'll get so much bonus xp for first time pristine combines.  If you don't get what I'm saying about tradeskill bonus xp on pristine combines craft a bit.  I'm constantly using a poisons/debuffs/self buff at all times.  If you harvest yourself its even cheaper.  my 2 cp</P>
