Any tips for a fresh start?
 

Howdy all. It's been a long, long time since I played EQ. Found this not long ago, finally decided to give it a go.

I'm literally just about to hop on the game, figured I'd make a post here before I went ahead and did that.

I'm planning on making an Ogre Warrior, what I played on Live oh so many years ago, and was wondering if anyone had any tips for me on how to spend my early levels.

Tips besides "don't roll a warrior for your first toon, or you're gonna have a bad time," that is.

lizard meat quests for low level ogres i think? those we're good.

Don't get too caught up in rushing to 60. Fuck around, explore, hang out...

Ogre newbie ground is quite difficult. Don't let it discourage you. :)

Already got lost in The Feerrott once, things are going well! Thanks for the advice so far.

Well, I spent 2 weeks farming pelts, bone chips and spiderling silks for plat. I would run over to EC and farm Nuktulos for all its worth for a while. Spend some time in EC being thrifty and talking with people and you will probably end up with some decent starter equipment.

My warrior on live was so poor it wasn't funny. He always had crap gear and I can't help but think that if I had taken the time to do that then, that he would have been much better off at later levels.

From what I remember, that's a bit of a hike. Inno through Ro, correct? Might wait a couple levels. Sounds like a solid plan though. Already started saving chips and silks here in Feerrott, remembered that much!

Its a super easy run. You need to make sure you put one point in sense heading or it won't level up when you use it. After that put sense heading on your toolbar. After that step bind the key location for that slot to your left and right movement keys and it will level automatically and you will always know where your facing

Ya, it would be a bit of a hike. I would level up to 10 and then split my time in-between farming and Orc camp groups in EC. Going rate for bone chips is about 10p per stack, Spiderling silks are 20p a stack, HQ bear skins go for 25ish, MQ and LQ bear skins are 1-5p per. Cat and wolf skins can be worth some too but I don't really have a solid price on those and they seem to vary more. I hope that helps.

With any luck you will meet a kind person or two that will help you with gear but it always feels better to earn the stuff yourself. I'm only 24 on my main but I spent some time farming stuff and made probably 2-3k total.

If you want to go to EC go as a level 1. Being level 8 will not make it ANY better running to EC. Mobs will kill you at level 12. So go for it if you want to go there. I have run to EC many times at level 1 on a Troll and Ogre. Heck have run to OT several times as a level 1 or 2 Iksar. :D
