No success here either.

Choosing a fun starting city that lets you both choose your class is the best.

Try to explore with him and forget about the boundaries of the world as you know it. Let greater faydark be a big forest where the boundaries are absolutely unknown. Be scared of NPC's and /con them all the time and ask him if you think you can handle the monster, ETC.

I would choose based on the starting zone area you think could be most fun for him.

I really like faydwer overall, kaladim, kelethin and felwithe is such a nice place to run around. Plus akanon.

Rivervale is great till you max out at the goblin camps and either have to go into runnyeye or go to west commons or something for further progression. I don't enjoy the commonlands and desert of ro nearly as much as I enjoy the low mid level stuff in faydwer.

So yeah just choose a nice starting place and lean into it, explore, learn about quests by /hail on NPC's and follow dead ends and stuff. If you cut to the chase on efficient leveling up and stuff I think you will have less fun. Don't like drag him to known good spots, you gotta find good spots by looking around and stuff.

For some reason I think a hybrid melee is a great way to start. When you're a noob you want to be able to care about and use swords and stuff, but you also want to have access to spells because, Duh, spells are cool.

Once you know what you're doing you want the efficiency of a caster but I think hacking away at orcs the traditional style with regular melee attacks is rewarding.

Maybe an iksar monk would be a high reccomend from me, and you play an iksar shaman and you do the kunark path. Lots of functional quests, lots of items to find along the way and good lore.

Depends if he wants to be a lizard or an elf too.
