New player, looking for advice/groups

[Baros]

I’ve been wanting to get back into EQ, and I have a 21 Dwarf Paladin on Green (I played a little bit back in 2021, but it’s been years and I’m just relearning everything).

I’ve looked at the guides but I feel like I’m missing something - any mob I’ve tried soloing that could give me XP at this point hits incredibly hard and I’ve run to the zone lines countless times just to prevent the corpse run. I know that this game is punishing, but I feel like I’m just running around.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
