When I played Uthgard, I played Albion, primarily because I had not played it extensively in live. Now that release is approaching on Phoenix, I am starting to give thought to my Midgard "plan", if you will, and I have come up with two questions that I would like to solicit input on.
My approach (and if you don't agree, that's fine, but please don't hijack this thread, since I am going to follow this approach regardless) to starting anew in DAoC is to create and level your farming toon first. This way, I can be making gold for crafting and templates while I am leveling my main RvR toon.
On Albion, choosing a farming class was a no-brainer. The Necro is the easiest to level and the best solo farmer in the game IMO.
This brings me to my first question: what is the best farming class in Midgard ? From what I know of Midgard (and I have played it a lot in live and on Phoenix beta), the best *solo* farming class should be between the BD and the SM, and the SM would def. be better for duo farming with a healer and/or buffer. Thoughts ?
My second question is what are the best farming spots (for gold and more importantly for salvage) in Midgard, both during leveling and esp. at 55 ? Again, this was no brainer in Albion. You went to Cornwall, and you stayed there until you could do Dunters in Lyonesse (late 20s). After that, you never left Lyon. Not only could you level to 55 there easily and quickly, but you could farm there forever, garnishing gold and tons of tier 10 salvage. If you wanna know how much the devs loved Albion, all you have to do is look at Lyonesse....
I am not aware of any region in Midgard (or Hibernia, for that matter) that even comes close to Lyonesse. I would appreciate input on the best spot to farm while leveling my farming toon and, more importantly, the best level 50 *solo* farming spot(s).
Thanks in advance !!!!!
