Grouping

kameski · #1 08-31-2011, 12:07 AM

Hello all,

I wanted to share this problem i am having with you guys.
Hoping that you guys could perhaps give me any tips on how to solve this.
I started on project 1999 a couple of days ago to feel the good old memorys again from eq 1 in its golden days.

So i decided to make me a class wich i never really played before.
Being a high elf mage.
Now my problem is being a european player is the fact that afther some days of playing it seems to be that i am stuck,not being able to find any groups at these lower lvls in gfay or around.
I tryed moving to another continent hoping perhaps there where more ppl there to group up with.
Also with no succes.
So it seems i just cant get past lvl 7 might be because of the class i am playing to

So pls if you have any tips or if you are european and would like to group up or feel like helping me out feel free to reply :-) :-)

Thanks in advance

Kameski

As a magician, you can easily solo to 60, so you don't need to rely on groups. That being said, the best place to group at your level is Crushbone. Head over there and you should often be able to find other people your level even during European times. If you can't, you can solo well in Crushbone anyway.

well you rolling a mage, yea i've played the class once, on here, got a guy from 1-20 in a matter of two days, no matter what though with a mage, you can solo up to 50, though good groups does make it go by faster, stick to faydwer till lvl 20, i just rolled a new toon as well that is your lvl range if you wanna duo maybe, but yea theres always certain zones that are the popular ones, for instance, at your lvl, cb is one of them, but if you rather solo, i think you may lvl faster doing blackburrow, safe open wide cavern zone, and its not too cluttered

but if after lvl 10 you get sick of cb, you could solo, id say do this at 12, but 10-12, theres several camps in lesser fay you can solo, bandits (not sister bandits, i think that camp is lvl 14-15ish mobs) thats a great camp to do at 15-18, i think 15 is a new mage pet), or checker bourd, damn i can never spell that word correctly, but thats a great camp 10-15, by 14/15 may be a lil slower exp, but at 13-17, yard trash should be no problem in unrest,

maybe you're not utilizing this class to its full potential, theres tons of camps everywhere, and always in the evening, well im in arizona, so always people on between 5-9pm my time, which i think may be the morning for you 8-10am? i'm only guessing, but the mage/necro are the two easiest classes to lvl up, i did 1-20 completly solo a year back to see how the mage is like, fun class, but i got bored with how easy the class to lvl up is

you're playing one of the best over powered classes in this game, though ive heard its diffrent at 50+

Look for a euro guild. There are a decent amount of you guys here. You just have to make some friends!

Yes i have noticed that there are some euros around.
But they seem to be shattered around several guilds.
Also most of these guilds seem to have a pretty high lvl requirment to join.

Unfortunately mages arent exactly cruicial to any group and therefor it might be harder to find groups, perhaps you can roll up a char that is really sought after in groups (mnk, rog, clr) and play when you feel like grouping and play the mage at other times?

instead of spending all that time travelling make some alts. if nothing happening in fay make a barb or human and check out ro or blackburrow.

I wouldnt worry about travel til you are 20ish and can afford ports.

Log in during your normal playing hours and do either
/who [class] same as /who except the list will only return names that match the class you specify after the /who command
/who [class] all returns a list of every player currently online (all zones on your server) who matches the class you specify after the /who command. (e.g. /who all Enchanter)
Might help you see what class is needed more during your normal playing time.

Tanks are always in good need.

Which tank class is the best has been discussed over and over the last couple of weeks (war vs knight) - either have a look in those discussions or just make anything you feel like. There is no correct answer to which are good, what ever you have fun playing is the right choice for you. :-)
