I am a lvl 18 qeynos crusader intending to go the paladin route (only choice available now as I am past betrayal at 17).
I picked up the Path of the Paladin quest in North Quynos and did the first bit almost by accident (it was to kill 25 gnolls that were causing a problem - I killed a few easy ones in Antonica - and some timberclaws for the Dancer (NPC) part III quest - but these didn't count - then I grouped in Blackburrow for about half a level and found that in killing blue ^^ gnolls to me at 18 in BB I met the requirement and had cleared the 25 - and then some !)
I am now almost 19 and I have tried the second part of the quest three times - it is an apparently solo special instance to rescue some citiznes from gnolls - I am completely outclassed - there are several groups of agressive 'orange' gnolls and I haven't been able to even begin to do damage to the first one before I am dead.
Has anybody done this and if so can they give me a suggestion - clearly I will wait until 19 to to see if I get an extra ability - and I will upgrade a bit of equipment - but its mostly yellow with a bit of blue so not too bad.
Or does anybody know if you can bring a group with you on these class instanced quests.
I should add I am using 2 handed crush or slash for damage - which is generally better for solo (i think) - would I be better with a good 1h and a good shield instead.
Thanks,
