Quests or Camps ?

[mrG9three]

Pretty general question,

At low levels should i focus on turn in quests, or just kill everything in sight? 3-5 feel super grindy, and am wondering if just spamming turn in quests is going to help relieve that grind a bit ??

Any thoughts?

In general, kill stuff. In most newbie areas there are quests for a few of the items dropped by the stuff you kill though, and you'll want to turn-in those items for "icing on the cake" experience. Which items depends on which newbie zone you're in, but if you search the wiki for each item as they drop you'll learn which have quests pretty fast.

Welcome to EverQuest: every level is "super grindy" (and they certainly don't get easier after 3-5).

Turn in gnoll fangs, crushbone belts, deathfist slashed belts, bone chips, all these will advance your XP efficiently.

Some classes level very slowly, especially if you lack DPS.

hey bud, welcome to p99 everquest. literally the entire game is a grind. Quests are icing on the cake, and barely that, for exp. You basically just do them for items, so that you can grind your exp more gooder.

This game is truly EverGrind EverCamp, and it's awful once you hit the 50s

I guess the answer is it depends. I would say kill everything and sell everything. Save bonechips and silks. It depends on your class and starting city as to what quests are useful. For instance a Barb Shaman in Halas can do the spider fungus quest and get all their level 1 spells free.

If you are brand new I wouldn't turn in any crush bone belts, I would sell them for platinum and buy bronze off the merchants + weapon in ec if you are a plate wearing class, blacksmith banded if you are a chain class, buy spells if you are a caster.

there are lots of quests that are "worth doing" from an xp farming standpoint. CB belts / pads are the classic (and farmable if you also have higher lvl character). You wont find these good xp quests listed all together in a guide anyplace, as most are regarded as secrets by the ppl that are aware of them. A few other good ones would be gnoll fangs in qeynos, the "bread quest" for porters, and "Bard Mail" (felwithe to kelethin) which is how I lvl all my good races 1-8.
