Warning for Ring of Scale

[Fanra]

If you plan on playing in Ring of Scale, I would highly recommend you get most of Empires of Kunark group progression done, the part that gives you Achievement: Essence of the Dragon I (Group).

The reason is that RoS will have Kar'Zok (green) sarnaks which will kill you if you don't have Essence of the Dragon I.

I can confirm that there are Kar'Zok (green sarnak) in Gorowyn.
There is a single rare NPC in Overthere that is a Kar'Zok.
There are Sarnak, but no Kar'zok in Skyfire, Howling Stone, and Sathir's Tomb.
There are no Sarnak in Veeshan's Peak.

So plenty of the expansion can be experienced without encountering Kar'Zok. 4 of the 6 zones are free of them, and one has a single NPC in a large zone. So one spot in it to avoid, if the rare is up.

We are looking into auto-granting an equivalent AA to mercenaries that gives them resistance/immunity to the Kar'Zok breath weapon. (It will look for the bit the character gets, so they will only get it if you get it.)

(I am talking about basepop. It sounds like the Skyfire mission has Kar'Zok)

I find the write up on EQ Resource is very useful but I wanted to distill it down to just what you need. I've created my own here: http://everquest.fanra.info/wiki/Ess...f_the_Dragon_I
