I don't know who killed it for you, but the Ancient Wyrm Paragons in Fel are very tough. I haven't tried recently but even with some relayers I have never been able to kill it without pets. Just because their may be a few players here that can doesn't mean you should give up.

There is plenty to kill here to get gold. Balrons are probably the best on the game to kill for gold, and with your pets, should be no problem.

Where to start? Right here. uoex.net. the Wiki, the forum and just asking questions to fellow players will get you a long way in terms of what you need to know.

As it is tokens are nurfed on champs bodies decay in like 10 sec's so its hard to loot anything from champs gold is also nurfed on them.. When I got here I donated 30$ and sold the ed just to get on my feet I bought 5 maxed breeder pets some goc items and other gear I worked most my needed skills to 100-120 and today I tried killin a pargon ancient wyrm in fel today with all my pets and lvl bow 30 mins later he was still half life, my pets died a ton and lost a great deal of stats so there pretty much worthless now, I died a ton and lost a good deal on insurance money, So I asked someone to come help they kill this ancient in less than a min with no pets and barely lost any life at all, and ive seen people selling all the good stuff for like 1k ed or 60mil crazy prices, so imo the economy is not really set up for a new player or even a player who has been here for months
Welcome to Excelsior! Like +Nyx said, the stuff that you have suggested has been asked for at least 300+ times and the stuff that they decided to implement or take out has a huge impact on the shard as a whole. You might think that this shard doesn't cater to the new players, but in reality it does. I have been here for 3 years and back when I started it was even tough. I haven't donated (not because I cannot afford it, but I rather go the hard way and challenge myself) and I have acquired a lot of stuff in my time here in Excelsior. It just a matter of a) donated and be uber within days/weeks/months or b) put the time, effort, and patience.

This year alone staff has been adding and modifying areas to cater the new / average / vet players... there is something for everyone. If you could kill a para ancient wyrm with just pets in the short time you have been here then I probably would've have quit asap since my relayers and all ED/Gold/Tokens invested on my toon is pretty much worthless. Don't give up, just put in the dedication and time like many of us before you did.

Good luck!

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Even if you donate, it's not like you walk on water the next day. Still need to grind skills and stats up. That's what makes the game fun. I have been on this shard for a year now and would have lost interest long ago if you could just buy everything and it was all instant gratification. Working for it has not only kept things fun, it has taught me new ways to play the game and go about things I hadn't even tried in years of playing on OSI.
