Starting armors? Crafting?

[reploidx]

Hi, I'm a first time poster (obviously) but not a first time EQ player. I played right before Luclin came out and stuck with it for four years. I'm asking this question because I always remembered hailing the GM NPC (and accidentally pressing A thus getting one shotted said NPC) and getting up to the line where i would have to forge out and collect stuff to make starting armor. At first I didn't know what to do back then, but after making multiple characters it was the first thing I did. So does this server have that quest line taken out?

I ask because when i made my half-elf paladin, I didn't see the line to ask about it from the paladin GM. Also, speaking of crafting, is the crafting different on here than the live servers? If it is, is there a guide? I remember doing some alcohol crafting, but that was back in 2004!

Any kind of answers are appreciated and hope to see people in-game. Name is Blahl :D

the newbie armor sets are not in game, and won't be for the server's projected timeline.

A quest to get armor? As a newbie? What the hell has EQ Live become?!

Have fun paladining in leather jammy jams until you're level 20 if you're just starting out.

basically you got a mini forge, molds and told to go out in the wild and start hacking up mobs. I still had to write it all down in a notebook.

Yeah, I enjoyed those quests when I rolled an alt or 2 in the latter part of my EQ days... but you will get banded/bronze at best til level 30ish, and you will like it!

Unrest. Can pick up a set of small bronze in your early 20s.

Thanks for the tips guys? How can i work on my smithing though? I've been looking for sharpening stones, but haven't found any.

Check out the wiki -, make metal bits to begin with, graduating to lanterns. The wiki isn't the greatest but it's not too bad.

they left these quests in on the Progression servers even

my warrior on Progression started during Velious era. i didn't even bother getting Crafted armor, because the newbie armor was better than Crafted. :|

For what its worth, the newbie armor and weapon quests were really fun and a nice addition to the game. The stats don't jive with classic at all though.

For example, I think my level 60 shaman is pretty nicely geared, and I'd use at least 2 of the newbie Halas armor pieces over what I'm currently wearing if they were in game.
