EQ2 Qeynos Guide - Twinking 1-15

This guide is dedicated to identifying bosses from levels 1-15 that can be farmed for twink loot or loot for new players. Please remember that the character you use to kill these bosses has to at least con the bosses at green or the event will not drop any loot for you.

Everquest 2 - The Forest Ruins

The Forest Ruins is a zone that is off of The Baubbleshire. To get to The Baubbleshire click on any bell by the docks adn travel within Qeynos to the Baubbleshire. Once inside the Baubbleshire it is one of the zones leading out. This zone seemed to contain mostly Intelligence items and other caster drops.

Ahnrisk {7}

This is the lowest boss of the instance I found. He is just inside the castle to the right on a hill in the pit. There are other spiders in the area that you can pretty much just AoE. He is a very simple straightforward fight but be careful of adds if you are going in solo.

Yestura_Rhamrey's_Remains (10)

This fight is very easy with a group or someone who has a high damage area of effect spell. You will have to take on this entire counter at the same time. Each one individually is pretty weak but they could do some serious damage to the solo adventurer because they are all part of the encounter.

Everquest 2 - Yestura Rhamrey's Remains

Dig Supervisor Tnarl (11)

This is another preferred Area of Effect or group encounter as are most mobs inside the forest ruins. There is nothing special about this fight except that you have to fight a lot of enemies at once. I didn't get the location of him but I think he is near the mob listed below inside the castle.

Kinloc Flamepaw's Remains (12)

Same thing as the previous Area of Effect fights. These guys are a little bit harder because of the level difference but it's the same type of fight information. If you're going in solo around their level be careful.

The Spectral Headmaster (12)

I think this is the biggest boss in the instance. He drops the best loot (I think a 12.0 rated 2hander is one of his drops). This is just another big AoE encounter fight and the same advice is given to the soloer who wishes to try this encounter.

Everquest 2 - Oakmyst Forest

This area you can get too by travelling outside of Qeynos on one of the dock bells. I couldn't find but 1 named encounter worthwhile the entire time in here but it's better than nothing.

Ambassador Kialee (11)

This guy comes in pair with his Ambassador buddy. One casts pretty hard and the other melees pretty hard. You want to kill them quickly. Using a mystic to slow and heal, a berserker to tank, and a wizard all level 12 the fights were sometimes scary when trying to kill these two. They drop a nice intelligence cloak though!

Everquest 2 - Ambassador Kialee

Everquest 2 - The Caves

You can get to the caves by using a bell to travel outside of Qeynos. There's a wide variety of gera that drops in here and quite a few bosses. In addition to loot, this is a good spot to level.

Smithy Slampaw (10)

This guy is the easiest mini-boss in the zone. There is a 2 mob event that is his placeholder if you keep that cleared he will eventually spawn. He's a piece of cake.

Dustcaller Sleg {11}

This guy comes with a few adds. I would kill the adds first and then focus on this guy. This might be a hard fight if you are alone because of the adds.

Everquest 2 - Dustcaller Sleg

Neddris {12}

This guy has 3 regular snake place holders that are all part of an event. If you keep that cleared he will spawn. He comes with 2 level 12 adds, that I recommend you kill and then focus fire on him since he has a lot of hp.

Everquest 2 - Neddris

The Devoured {13}

This is one of the hardest fights in the zone. This guy spawns in some skeleton thing on a timer and has no PHs. He is one of the only two 3 arrow fights indicating that he is a tough little SOB. I wiped on him quite a few times before we got him to fall. I recommend taking him with a healer and slower if available or a higher level group.

Everquest 2 - The Devoured

Slaverjaw {16}

This is the hardest encounter in the zone but the loot payoff is worth it. It takes a few people a couple of levels and higher to beat him or a really good group about his level. This guy is a big looking rat thing that is on his own timer and comes around the zone killing newbies, so if you're here and you're not ready to fight him..watch out for him, he will kill most of everyone below 16 in a couple hits. I don't have a picture available but if I get one I'll post it.

Everquest 2 - Blackburrow

Located in Eastern Antonica near the Steppes Station griffon flight this is a zone everyone can remember from EQ1. I even found the collapsed Everfrost tunnel while exploring. This zone is a mixture of heroic and non-heroic mobs. Be aware of the false floor traps because you can fall through into the middle of a beat down. I found a couple of named in here but only have a picture of 1. The other was a named angler gnoll up by the waterfall

Overseer Thix {13}

You can call this guy The Devoured's twin for he is just as hard as an encounter. I would bring a few higher level friends or a good group to take him down. We beat him with a shaman, paladin, and wizard all level 15 and it was a hard fight, especially if we engaged him with low mana. He randomly spawns in the different areas where you kill heroic gnolls.
