Ha, These guards are weak, all except for slate. I know what this guy is capable of because I went on a rampage in east commons whalin on everything.
This guy was my number one slap up. I killed him 45 times, tryin to impress someone I pulled every single guard in zone (when someone was killin Slate) and killed every single guard at once in front of tunnel :)
Then I went out and started killin forest animals to get meat for baking, I meet a griffin along way. I quickly shot a couple arrows at him. Some reason I could walk and still out run the griffin. Well anyways, I have officaly killed everysingle thing in zone. Had to get alot of help for slate. Anyway this guy carries fine steel weapons, some words, a onyx, and a newspaper. All is rare though.
If you have killed everything in the EC zone, perhaps you could share your strategy for killing Rinna Lightshadow. I'm sure she would be quite interested in your tale.
I'm a level 19 pally w/ a very small twink. Is it advisable for me to attack him for the faction that i need for the Armor of Ro quest? Can I kill him?
He is very easy i soloed him with my level 23 Warrior (no buffs but 1k weapons plus armor), i still had 2 bubbles of health left. not good loot yet i only killed him 2 time but i think they are FS weapons. good luck have fun and watch out for Slate.
i was just wondering if he hits magically. if he doesnt, im taking a ghoul and rampaging around slate and the other gurads with him. if they dont, then i am in NFP in no time. it sounds like it is fun. and also if people just wanna kill guards, dark elf guards are extremely low
I am 20 Wizard, he is VERY easy to me. Simple get a SoW from a druid , shammy or high lvl ranger (not hard in EC c,mon) Get within Lighting Bolt range and fire. If you did it right you should be able to through another nuke in there before he reaches you then kite him the rest. Don't use lvl 20 that much, maybe once or twice, IF you have lots uf mana and INT, lightning bolts works good, his resists are low. He cons Red to me. 5+lvl's ahead of me, and Wizards can't solo? BAH! shows YOU! I have 197INT and a good amount of mana items. If you pull alotta 100's instead of 125's (bolt) and Lower then 85's (strike) or 171's (new nuke) U need to be a twink, with lotsuf MANA AND INT. otha wise, he wimpy. try him. Note I have killed him about 4 times while chillin in EC he nows con Dub. ONE TIME I died, sergeant slate stepped in and ***** slapped me for 120+ like 3 times, I had like 200hp's at that seconed ( I useally smack Tolus with half-life and about 80% mana) GOOD LUCK FELLA WIZARDS!!!! Im gonna try reskin now, remember to invis in FP and go to NFP for bizness if you camp these guys, Im trying to find stuff to raise factions!
As a Paladin of 28 (Used to be 29 until the necro in the secret tunnels of West Freeport feared and blasted me to death..) I hunt each one of these for exp mainly. Basically I follow what everyone here has said... Ie: Pull to the sand, Kill, watch out for slate.. Yadda yadda yadda.
A good way to do it while in the middle of the battle is to root 'em, and take a few steps back. You then cast a shielding/healing buff on yourself (Center at my level), right after it is casted you fire off a quick shot at the guard with your bow. At that time your spells are back, except for your shielding/healing buff, so you in-turn use your cruddy little "Light healing" spell that you have... And follow it up with another Arrow at the guard.
Doing this is a pretty good way for Paladins to kill these guys, it keeps your life up- and keeps him from getting his life back while you heal. There isn't even a use for Lay of hands with this way of fighting, and you should be able to solo them at about 23 or so with not much difficulty. (Presuming you have a decent weapon... I switch off from a Ghoulbane and a Mistmoore shield... to The Edge of Cabilis... a 25/50 2hs.)
Welp, this wasn't much info on the guard, but it is a small tip for the Pallies out there.
-------------------------------------------- Paladin of the 28'th (29th actually) season. --------------------------------- Nairuk of the Crimson Blade
I've looted his corpse like 5 times and i've never got any weapons. Once I did get a Words of Transcendance though. My question is, what would a guard be doing with such a thing?
This guy and reskin are very easy kills. I'm a lvl 24 shammy solo'n. They are yellow and i usually finish with a bub of mana and 80% life. Watch out of couse for slate, he has a 2 mile aggro and gets real angry if you touch one of his fellow gaurds. Oh yeah i get about 3/4 a blue with him and Alota FS. And some *** gave him a rusty long sword along with his normal Fine steal weapon once, That was a pain let me tell you. Chastize 24 iskar shammy
i fergot to say something guards do not see trouh wolf from they qil xon indefrenty with wolf forn and just turn in belts i no the wizzerd guild will blast you if yuo have bad faction with them
i have the post under you...you should just get a caster type perferably one with a pet like magician or necromancer or enchanter make sure hes like lvl 22-25...this guy is really easy doesnt block any spells of mine and can be killed without a pet so all you need is a caster type
I'm a level 20 paladin and I tried like for days before to find people to kill these guys with, everyone that wasn't like 30+ was too afraid of faction hits or death.
im lvl 25 hes whote to me and i freaking killed this guy without a pet..hes pretty easy but like the other people said watch out for slate he killed me once when i was just watching the fight.. my best advice is to pull to sand(like other guy said) if you are encumbered dont try to kill guard never know when you have to run and these guys are kinda quick..im wondering does this give really bad faction's with freeport guards??
Yes, you will get bad faction with the East and West FP guards and merchants. I went from apprehensive to KOS in East and West FP after only 3 kills of Tolus and Reskin. I have yet to repair that faction. I have read of a few ways to fix it, but I really don't care :). Most of the fixing involves hours of mind-numbing junk I just don't care to do.
I suggest pulling Tolus. He's at an easier pull and stuff and you can just get bone chips from the skeletal ruins nearby. Simple strategy. Pull him as far back as you can into the sand, and kill him. Period.
Two things to beware of here. Well, actually three. One, be careful not to pull him into the undead ruins. You don't want a guard on your butt while having undead knicking away and bothering your spells. Two, as usual watch for griffin sightings. I hate them. Three, and BIGGEST OF ALL, if you have to spend a minute scouting around to make sure Slate is not in the immediate area, then do it. He -will- kill you. Period. This is a guy who kills two griffins at the same time and still has the HP to just walk around like no one's business. He's a monster I tell ya!
Ya, I've had slate double for 100+'s on me... not to mention he's QUICK and it takes some effort to outrun him. I've not died to him yet. His day is coming :). NOTE: If Slate is within site of you, he will most likely aggro. He has a tremendous aggro range.
Aye..after doing my Soulfire quest...I've been KOS to the militia ever since around level 35ish. Slate has been my only problem. He doubles for over 100...and he's pretty fast. His aggro range is insane. People like to train him to the tunnel..where he proceeds to take out everyone he doesn't like. He feeds my **** to me with my 48 Paladin.

These guards spwan right in front of inn1 and 2. It's easy for my 24 mage gnome to kill them with or with out a pet just need a SOW becuase they dont mind your pet unless your pet is dealing out some serious damage on them. They give me about one blue bubble per kill and drop 1-3pp and fine steel weapons. All the dark elfs love me but i killed their weak guards too.
Im not sure if i can or not but im in kunark and dont feel like leaveing my giant group to come up here but i (for some odd reason get better lag in antonica),so can anyone help me ,thanks 24 season druid
#Anonymous,
Posted:Feb 25 2001 at 12:02 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) whenever i kill this fool, newbie's fighting at ruins heal me and (try to) attack him, so then they get pissed when they take the faction hit. i try to tell them to zone, but they're so dumb, they don't get it. i'm a troll sk so faction doesn't bother me. you can't get any worse then Ready To Attack.
I have timed this guy with a stopwatch im ussually medding but he seems to pop around 6 minutes and 30 seconds he still great xp at 29 ab about half a blue =8) il try the cargo clockwork in SF mnts once i hit 30
I don't think that Tolus would give bad faction with Temple of Marr or the Knights of Truth because if you ever talked to them they are dedicated to getting rid of Sir Lucan and his Freeport Militia (So am I). I have killed the LVL 16 Guard in East Freeport a lot and he gives bad faction with Freeport Militia and the Trade Folk.

I have done my best to kill both Tolus and Reskin and I used to get faction hits for militia, pally guild, priests guild, and trade folk faction. I now only receive a militia faction hit. Is this because I have become so hated, or popular, that I am at the limit of the faction range??
hmmmmmmmmmmm mabey but i am at the peek with the dwarves for handing in so many cb pads and belt but i was killing crush the other day but i still got facsion mabey a glitch in the game
