Lots of weird advice in this thread. I come w/ the correct advice for your goals.


Join a random leveling guild, and ONLY focus on getting level 60. Don't go out of your way to get that one cool item that gives +6 wis, don't go out of your way to go "check something out" if your main goal in the game is to get high end gear and get epics.

Make a EC mule, Don't freaking waste 3 hours of your time "looking for a spell" by moving your toon from your leveling zone to EC (Which can take 20 minutes easily) and then sitting there and spamming. There are awesome EC tunnel twitch channels, and on top of that, you always can just dump whatever u have to sell on your mule and get back to leveling. (Just ask somebody from a trusted guild for an xfer!! nobody is going to risk their toon with hundreds of hours on it for your 1k worth of items backpack)

You want levels because 1. The plat you need to get the minimum required shit to get into a raid guild (Which really, resist gear doesn't cost that much) comes EXPONENTIALLY FASTER AT A HIGHER LEVEL. 3 hours of farming sebilis can equate to 48 hours of farming fine steel swords off guards. And 2, because a raiding guild doesn't need a level 55 necro or something. Focus on level 60. Try to get what you can get on the way, but exp> anything else leveling up.

Now a lot of people are in here talking about experience blah blah blah they hold this weird elitist viewpoint of top end guilds. I'm here to tell you, if you proactively try to fuckin help the guild, you'll get in to the guild. Here's an example.

25% of the modern p99 raid consists of a raid leader begging someone to fucking do a random task. This could be as basic shit as, someone go pick up a DA idol in wc, or I need someone to tag this mob out and go die, Who can go do that? Which is often met by crickets, even in the most top end, hardcore raiding guilds. You know what a raid leader fucking loves to hear? "Hey this is X, I never did it before, or i'm completely new to raiding, let me know what to do and I can try to do it" Guarantee they get an instant hard on. If this can be you, you and your significant other will have absolutely no issue joining any top raiding guild, as long as you actually show up to the raids (It's really not that difficult to show up to 20-30% of raids)

Good luck out there, and let me know if you need any other advice.

(For the record - i'm not against exploring the game, it's one of my favorite things to do. But now I do it on my druid who has had god tier no drop gear since level 5 - and it's been a great experience)

this should be stickied for new eq p99 players
