Nrcro packs @ 75% offf = 87 DDO Points! (also SFC & MotU, & more!)
(Public Service Announcement... from one Premium Player to any/all others...)
@ New(ish) F2P & Premium Players -
On Sale this week - all Necropolis packs, for only 87 DDO Points! (Yes, eighty-seven each!)
That's 75% off - you won't see a better deal!
Necro 2 is popular with many, mainly for the XP around Level 8-10.
Necropolis III is a pretty good pack for both Favor and XP, but the best thing is that this is the only pack you need to get your Silver Flame Talisman, what is considered by many a "must have". (Other loot such as Ghostbane longbow and Dalorent's Seal are popular with many as well, but perhaps(?) a bit dated. Ymmv.)
Necro IV is also on sale for 87 DP, and that gets you Orchard of the Macabre. This is a VERY popular quest pack for around Level 14, with great XP and loot, and a great Level 17 raid.
DISCLAIMER - None of these quest packs (with the possible exception of 3BC (below), and N2 and/or N4, for some) - are on the generally accepted "short list" of packs that non-VIP players should buy first. Also, if you're truly new, you may not see the higher level quests for a while. Weigh all your options, ask questions if you need to.
For time vs. money, cheapest by far if you simply buy the DDO points, but for true F2P players, the obligatory...

Also, for anyone who intends to quest past Level 20, all editions of both Shadowfell Conspiracy and Menace of the Underdark are on sale for 75% off! That's RL cash, but at that price if you go wash a car or mow a lawn, you've got it. Move up from F2P to Premium, you won't regret it. :cool:
Also on sale, for 30% off (which is still a big cut!), are...
o Sorrowdusk Isle (385 DP) - must-have(?) for ranged characters, for Hs D favor. Also, it offers a LOT of favor for the price, if that interests you. Some nice loot (like the Mummified Bat), but nothing you can't live without.
o Sharn Syndicate (245 DP) - the best ML 2 weapons in the game, plus the Runic Trinket and Kwan's Band (among others).
o Phiarlan Carnival (315 DP) - fun and varied, another top Favor-for-the-price pack. NOTE - this pack is included free w/ purchase of the Standard edition of Menace of the Underdark (which is currently only $8.75!)
o Three-Barrel Cove (486 DP) - extremely popular, both for Heroic and Epic. Great loot, great atmosphere, great fun, good XP and Favor - easily on most players' "Top 10" pack list (and many top 5). Nuff said!
o Tangleroot Gorge (385 DP) - Tangleroot is not high on many lists. The main problems are that 1) the chain varies from Level 3-7 (so you can't run it all at once and maintain Bravery Bonus), 2) it doesn't support Reaper (don't ask why), and 3) it re-uses the same map, as you delve deeper and deeper into the complex on each of 10 quests. But it has good one of THE best clickies in the game, Visor of the Flesh Render Guards.
