View source for Qeynos Starting Guide

== Welcome ==

Welcome adventurer to [[Qeynos]], home of the [[Human]]s. Also, many [[Erudite]] players choose to take the boat from [[Erudin]] and start in [[Qeynos]] instead, making it a second home city for their race, and many [[Barbarian]]s (once they are high enough to travel through [[Blackburrow]]) base themselves here also.

This guide will help you find useful quests and NPCs in [[Qeynos]] and [[Qeynos Catacombs]], and provide suggestions for surviving the animal and insect-ridden [[Qeynos Hills]].

Bards should visit the Wind Spirit's Song and visit {{Loc|South Qeynos|510,-140|Belious Naliedin}} for their Brown Tunic. From the starting location head West. Then South, to cross into South Qeynos. Then look for Jusean Evanseque, holding a lute. That's the building. Belious is on the right. Relatively easy to find.

==== Cleric ====
Clerics can make their way to the Temple of Life, located at #12 on the map, where they turn in their note to {{Loc|North Qeynos|-59,-678|Priestess Jahnda}}.  The Priestess is located inside the rotating flying saucer, which can be accessed by a teleport located at the top of the ramp.

==== Paladin ====
Paladins can worship either Karana, The Rainkeeper or Rodcet Nife, The Prime Healer.  Depending on which you worship will decide where you will need to turn in your starting note.
<br> If you choose Karana then you will need to find {{Loc|South Qeynos|-150, -520|Runethar Hamest}}, located at the Temple of Thunder in South Qeynos. Location #24 on the map.  In exchange for your note you will be given {{:Old Gray Tunic}}.

==== Rogue ====

Rogues of any religion are to find [[Hanns Krieghor]]. In North Qeynos, just south of the fishing pond on the west side you will see {{Loc|North Qeynos|100,325|Crow's Pub}}. Open the door on the North Side, walk in, and open the door next to the brew barrel. Walk through the painting, and down the hall until you must turn right. Then '''STOP'''. See those two torches on the right wall? Walk between them. Down at the bottom of the path is who you need to see.

If you were a fool and fell through the pit trap...wander around a bit. You'll find Hanns...eventually.

=== Guilds (Starting Quests) ===
==== Cleric (Evil) ====

Clerics of the Plaguebringer should seek out Xerture Demiagar. As with all Evil Humans in Qeynos, young clerics should head to the Warrior's Guild. Hang a left inside and follow the bones, taking a second left and heading down the ramp. At the gate with Wylin Dodmil, walk inside. The bones point you again to the third door from the left. Walk inside, follow the bones...and walk into the Qeynos Aqueducts. Follow the path until it branches in earnest (the nook with the skeleton doesn't count). Con the skeleton, though. If it's not amiably, you're in the wrong place.

Walk past the bloody scimitar banner and walk all the way to the back. Xeture is in front of the altar. Hand him your guild summons and put on your Ruined Training Tunic. You may also purchase spells here, and use the bank.

==== Enchanter (Evil) ====
Evil Enchanters must make their  way to the shadowy depths of the Qeynos Aqueducts. It is there they need to seek out {{loc|Qeynos Aqueducts |393, -389|Reania Jukle}}.  A guide on how to get there has already been written, see (Cleric Evil above).  Upon handing in your Blood Stained Note you will be presented with your very own {{:Dirty Purple Robe*}}, with it you can rain chaos upon either the aqueducts or the “newbie “ yard outside the gates.

==== Magician (Evil) ====
Magicians of the dark side must seek out  {{loc|Qeynos Aqueducts |392, -355| Perkon Malok}} in the Qeynos Aqueducts.  A well written guide will give the directions on how to get there, see Cleric (Evil) above. Turning in your guild summons will net you a {{:Stained Purple Robe*}}.

==== Necromancer ====
Necromancers, the second best class in the game, and being shunned from the light and the society of good, have been banished to the filthy sewers aptly named Qeynos Aqueducts. It is within this maze that young Necromancers must seek out {{Loc|Qeynos Aqueducts|301, -445|Lyris Moonbane}}. Once found, simply hand your note to Lyris and begin your training in your newly made {{:Dark Stained Purple Robe*}}.  Where is the stain from you may ask?  Are you sure you want to know?.  Please see Cleric (Evil) above for directions on how to find Lyris.

==== Shadow Knight ====
Shadowknights, the embodiment of evil, and the unholy warriors of Norrath, must make their way to the Qeynos Aqueducts. While wading through the filth and bile that will become the enemy to all that is good, they seek out {{Loc|Qeynos Aqueducts|415, -310|Sragg Bloodheart}}.  He asks for your Stained Cloth Note and in return he gives you a {{:Ruined Training Tunic*}}.

==== Warrior (Evil) ====

==== Wizard (Evil) ====

Wizards that got on the Winning Team of Bertoxxulous are to seek out {{Loc|Qeynos Aqueducts|320, -354|Trenon Callust}} in the Qeynos Catacombs. Follow the guide to the Catacombs above (see Cleric - Evil) and hang the second right after the gate. ''Trenon is too cool to hang out with the Magician, Enchanter guildmasters and anyone else who uses pets.'' Hand him your guild summons note and don your {{:Dark Purple Robe*}}. Then head all the way back up topside and visit the Good Wizard's Guild in their fancy blue robes to actually buy your spells. ''They're apprehensive, so they'll charge you more, but hey, that's what winning feels like.''

== Important NPCs ==

=== Bank ===
*Location #8 in South Qeynos is {{loc|South Qeynos|340, -440|Qeynos Hold}}, the town's bank.

*{{loc|North Qeynos|216, 94|Tubal Weaver}} located inside the gates. Tubal is a "greedy" merchant so the bags may cost more from him.

<br>Location #22 on the South Qeynos map, {{loc|South Qeynos|-165, -255|Voleen's Baked Goods}}, also sells food and drink.

== Qeynos Hills ==

=== Where/What to Hunt ===

Initially adventurers don't even need to leave [[Qeynos]] itself, because their "newbie" area is right outside the town gate, and is filled with a variety of low-level critters for new players to level up on.

=== Dangers ===

The [[Klicnik]] and beetles will team-up (ie. "social agro"), so be careful of engaging them when others are nearby.

Also [[Fippy Darkpaw]]  repeats his death charge to the town gate daily, and he will attack you if you are in his way.

Be aware of the [[a skeleton|skeleton]] that spawns and does not move in the newbie yard. It looks like a decaying skeleton and will ruin your day if you absentmindedly attack it.
