Thanks guys.

I figured a pally would be better off in FP looking for groups while soloing. There's also the added benefit of getting buffed on west freeport/ec. Having EC to sell stuff would make acquiring gear alot easier wouldn't it?

Sure, but you can do this with any race/class combination (a little tougher with iksars, but that's about it).

EQ great, D2 great! Welcome!!

Welcome aboard. Either zone is going to be good XP. I think low levels are a lot more fun than even level 60 other than loot. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would try qeynos out if I were you! The thing about leveling in ec is that there is really no way of making any money. So sure, you can buy gear.. But without any cash that's not going to be a very valuble resource to you. Qeynos is the best leveling area in terms of exp and money making simply because of a few great quests. That way by the time you're around level 10-15 and gear becomes more important, you may actually have some decent cash! That and pally itens are cheap, so you could get some decdnt gear for 100-500pp

So far I'm level 4.5 and I've collected roughly 140 bone chips. I figure I'll save for something than can do some damage and hold aggro for grouping.

Very nice! Keep that up!

So I've hit level 5 and have 220 bone chips and a few pp. I'm thinking it might be time to move on from west freeport.

Should I try to find a decent spot in EC to level? I've seen a few red con mobs running around that frightened me.

As far as gear goes, should I grab a weapon now or search for a banded armor set?

Thanks all!

Rarely do people agree with me on this but if you know to avoid 1 Neriak guard, then Nektulos is a much better place to XP at level 5 (bears, wolves, etc) near the EC zone line area. Then if its uncamped at level 6 start thinking about the undead spire to the right as the zone opens out from the zoneline (its in a corner).

A weapon will obviously help, its up to you which order you want to do it in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I sold some bone chips and have 70 pp now. Skeles are green so I think my days of hunting them are over.

White Bears kick the crap out of me right now, so I'm stuck with the odd blue wolf or beetle. I was thinking about porting to BB or Qeynos.
