Any guides out there to help me get started?

[ddemers]

I am not new to Online gaming and I realize EQ was pretty hardcore back then.

Back in 1999 I had made a decision to go with Asherons Call and not EQ, after a few years I dabbled in EQ a bit, but never made it very far. I cant remember why I stopped playing it, I think it was because EQ 2 came out which I played.

Long story short.. I logged into EQ last night and I couldn't even kill a bat! lol I realize this is the old version of EQ and figured I would inquire about guides for this state of the game and avoid confusion. I rolled a Necro and I have no weapons, I was able to find a trainer but I cannot find any spells or weapons (I have zero cash)..I feel like I am missing a starting point.
