Everquest 2 Inquisitor Guide-5.1.3. Locations Levels 30 – 50
Monday, April 26th, 2010Levels 30 – 34
Zones: Ruins of Varsoon, Runnyeye, Nektropos Castle, and Splitpaw Saga
Varsoon’s starts becoming too easy to level, but it’s nice to stay here and finish all
of your quests in the early 30s. You will also start being able to head to a new dungeon –Runnyeye in Enchanted Lands. Runnyeye has many item and book quests and the Lore
and Legend Evil Eye book can be found deep within. Also, there are new armor items for
all classes. There is a breastplate quest that starts by touching a cauldron that asks you to
kill 200 goblins – a very easy task in Runnyeye. There is also a leg armor quest started by
touching a hanging eye deep within the dungeon. Nektropos castle is related to many
heritage quests (Ghoulbane, Fishbone earring, and Guise of the Deceiver) and is a blast
for an organized group. It can take several hours to fully clear, but provides good loot and
experience. You can also just clear up to the sisters and kill them and return another day
after an 18 hour lockout.
Levels 35 – 39
Zones: Rivervale, Runnyeye, Obelisk of Lost Souls, and Splitpaw Saga
You will primarily be hoping between Rivervale and Runnyeye and at this level,
you will find many pick up groups and not really have to form your own. In general, I
stopped going to Runnyeye when I had finished the quests there that I wanted. Rivervale,
although technically a dungeon, is very easy to escape death. Splitpaw Saga instances
(Hideout, Alone in the Dark, Filtch’s Prank, Crawler’s and Group Arena.) Obelisk of Lost
Souls provides excellent chances for loot, but requires quite a bit of access quests and
camping to have entrance to all areas of the zone.
Levels 40 – 43
Zones: Rivervale, Obelisk of Lost Souls, Tower of Draftling, and Cazic Thule
You can advance to the more difficult areas of Rivervale (lamias and the bees
outside of Tower of Draftling) and exploring deeper into the Obelisk of Lost Souls. I
leveled mainly at Cazic Thule during these levels, and you can even do dungeon crawling
and begin the Heart of Fear access and gain updates for the Screaming Mace heritage
quest. Tower of Draftling, which also requires access quests, is good for questing the fairy
languages and you can grab the Lore and Legend Bixie book here. Tower of Draftling
access is required to complete the Hierophants Crook quest, so it’s useful on multiple
levels.
Levels 44 – 50
Zones: Permafrost, Solusek’s Eye, and Cazic Thule
If you gained access to Sanctum of Fear you can enter this zone and receive some
pretty rare rewards and good experience. You will need a solid group with time to clear for
several hours. Most of your grouping will be in Permafrost for pickups and Solusek’s Eye
for tailored groups. Permafrost has quite a few book quests to complete and a nice
necklace quest that gives you some goals to complete while leveling. Careful of Vision of
Vox if she is up, as getting your shard back if she gets a hold of you is very risky. There
are some group x2 named here that need 2 groups (Alangria, Knubb) and some that can
be done with a solid group of 1 + a few friends, andoccasionally even one solid group
(Gyrok Deepfreeze, Commander Keg, Kerhn Chillwind, Ador Frigidbeard.) For Solusek’s
Eye, I suggest getting some friends to help you reach there the first time, and then use the
wheel portal on the ground outside to port yourself back to the entrance. You can hop
back on the wheel in the temple near the entrance and now you can easily get to the
entrance of Solusek’s Eye. Once in Solusek’s Eye you are now in for better experience
and a less crowded zone. Depending on your group make up, you can venture quite deep
into Solusek’s Eye and kill fire giants and efreeti for good experience. This place is huge,
so if you were having crowding issues in Permafrost you will be happy. This is also home
to the Bastion of Flames instance, which requires your group to hop back and forth over
moving platforms in lava. The instance requires a fairly long access quest started near the
glassblower room. There are a few named to watch out for here as well, but some x2 and
named (Darkcoil, The Black Queen, The Castigator, The Incubator) and x4 group mobs
you don’t want to mess with (Lord Nagalik, Lord Nafagen).
