So, this is my first time being enchanter in EQ. I'm looking for any tips/suggestions on playing and leveling as an enchanter here.
1.) Spell rotations/strategy for successful soloing, and is soloing worth it?
2.) What would be some good solo spots per certain level ranges?
3.) What I should be doing in groups other than mez?
4.) Any certain items I should REALLY be looking for as enchanter?
Thanks!

1. Spell rots depending on what you're fighting (caster/melee). When I'm fighting casters I like to whirl/dizzy them, especially when they heal, plus it also saves you or your pet from taking DMG. If you're fighting melee, slow, root, let pet tank. When you get troll form you can even tank for a lil bit to cut down on overall downtime and help your pet regen health. (Troll form = hp regen). Rule of thumb, I ALWAYS pull with tash, whether its a yellow/white con thru Dark blue and even light blue (if it's a caster). Soloing can be done, but I don't find it nearly as fun as a group.
2.
Levels 1-8 or so in your newbie areas.
Levels 8-12 head over to EC to pick off lions/bears. Plus you can generally get buffed up at the EC tunnel. Once you get Lull, you can actually start taking on the orc camps, I suggest orc 2 though because it's less spawns, not as many wandering mobs, and also the zoneline is right there incase something bad happens.
Levels 12-17 hit up the WC derv camp. Because you can sell at the merchant when you get overweight. Just be sure if you are an evil race or in troll from you STAY AWAY from the druids around the WC port in, which is where your merchant is. As far as I know she sells to anyone.
Levels 17-22ish can be done in Oasis, although it's rather boring, its pretty safe, again, you can always find a group or you and a mage can duo (several mages around im)
Levels 22ish-28 I did a little soloing in SK with the cents, easily area to kill at with little/no roaming mobs. But be careful, cause the cents will help one another.
28-34(34 is the level I'm at currently). I've been doing WC toll booth guards. It's steady XP, near a zoneline, and nothing else really fucks with you. Out of common courtesy I let the zone know in a shout or ooc that I will be killing the TB guards and the lowbies can send you a tell/shout/yell for help.
It's all based on how you want to solo, there really is no "wrong" way of soloing, unless you die a lot

3. In groups, I generally kept melees hasted, and at 29, for obvious reasons, keep those with mana pools clarity'd. And in order to save mana/aggro, I just use root instead of Mez, unless you're in a cramped area (Like guk) or you have caster mobs in the pull (Cazic Thule). Nuke and DoT for extra DPS. Slow to help a off-cleric class heal(druids-shaman), especially if you have no "real" tank (SK/War/Pal). Mez is good and all, but it can cause you to tank the mob once Mez is broken. Oh and make sure you have a SK break Mez with his DoT, not his weak ass pet (yeah, I've seen that happen way too many times)
4. As far as items go, just save up and buy the cheap stuff. If you are a Dark Elf (which I am), you can EASILY get the Stein of Moggok at level 8. Here is a walkthru for you, incase you do decide to be a DE.

Anything else just ask :P, also none of what I said is 100% facts or 100% way to be a good chanter. It's just how I play, so take what you want from it.
