Bruiser questions

[RDescha]

<DIV>Just a few questions I'd thought I'd post, our forum is so empty!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well..I just began my Bruiser class quest yesterday after dinging 18. I went and killed the little Derv, and am starting the 2nd part on the sewer. Is it solable at 18? I have a few 20+ bruisers who I can ask one of em to go with me and help me with it, so I guess it's no biggy if not. I just like soloing things, makes me feel tough. =P</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was wondering, where do I get the quest for the Bruise Forger Cestus? (or whatever it's called) And when can I start it? I have the staff quest in FG, I think I might like that, but I'd like to have my options as well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The other thing, kind of unrelated to Bruisers...Is that frigging Journey is Half the Fun quest....Can ANYONE please clarify just what the hell that is, or how I start it? I heard it's a heritage jboots quest? I have heritage from my EQ1 account...and I want jboots...So it sounds good to me...But I have no idea where to get it, how to go about doing, or what the reward is? Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I just figured I'd get all my questions out in one post.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Btw, last night I saw a 3 bruiser to 14 monk ratio. I love this class, monks are pansies.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by RDeschain on <span class=date_text>11-29-2004</span> <span class=time_text>10:10 AM</span>

<DIV>First off, you will more and likely have to take a group to get to the Storage Room in Serpent Sewers.  I did mine solo at 18, but when I killed the Boss, I FD'ed the 2 others off, and it worked for me.  Also, only one person can go in the room, so it will just be you.  The Cestus is a peice of crap at the moment, due to the slashing bug.  It is given after you get done with the Storage Room.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Secondly, I believe bruisers are an excellent DPS class.  Rapid Swings and Bruising Strike are our 2 most used DPS attacks.  We also have some excellent tanking abilities with Martial Focus, Toughness, Brawler's Stance, and Staggering Stance.  I like my bruiser because there is only one more 20+ on my server.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With the Jboot thing, I have no idea.</DIV>

<DIV>you get that cestus when you finish the quest you're doing. </DIV> <DIV>it's your class quest reward. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>also, it's very easy to solo the little group in the storage room, BUT it's **ZOMG** near impossible to get to it. </DIV> <DIV>you really need a good group and kill on your way there, or you need to find a very high level friend that will go down there with you in a group so everything cons grey. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i got lucky and ran into a group in the entrance way. we happened to go the right direction and i found the storage room easily. i dropped the group and went in. i killed the boss guy and his two friends with over half of my health left. then i teleported out of there. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I just completed that bruiser quest at lunch time. It is pretty big down in those sewers but after fding my way through I found a high lvl guy who I asked to help me and he let me group with him so everything conned grey to me so I could search for it. Well I got in there, starting fighting the mob (I was 19 at the time) and it was easy. Part way through the fight two other dervishes brake off to fight you and they conned green ^^ to me so I freaked out and ran and fded in a corner. Well they all said solo over their head so I got back up after and walked off to the side so they wouldn't aggro. Then I pulled the big ogre mob (the main one you need to kill) and got her to half hp again before those two joined in. But those mobs aren't nearly as hard as they con. I finished em off at about half hp. I think they should fix the con on those two green dervishes in that room it really scared me.Oh by the way I did get the bruised forged cestus when I went back and reported my adventure.<p>Message Edited by Sheperd_b on <span class=date_text>12-01-2004</span> <span class=time_text>01:10 PM</span>

<DIV>this quest was a joke. the main guy and the two greens were easy. hardest part was getting to the storage room had to fd a few times from a few grped mobs who were after me. but other then that no worries at all </DIV>

<DIV>I solo'd this at 18... it may help to have friends go in with you... but I think some folks are forgetting that we can just flop around aggro instead of having to fight it off... just crawl and keep your eye's open for aggro in front of you, use sprint to get past them and FD... all of the mobs I passed otw to the storage room were grey/green/blue (go left from the zone in, not right!)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Alot more fun to solo this and flop around trying to find it and not get eaten =) I was able to kill the boss and the 2 adds with probably 50% health left over... and I'm a dang rat</DIV>
