Raiding end game content

[drackgon]

Taking a week off or 2. Is a smart choice and allows you to get set up raiding/cash camps early on for new servers.
Do research. Its not classic but wiki is there and so is class forums. Find out your class(s) you wish to play. And plan ahead. Ie gear/quest/leveling areas.
Don't waste time with stuff like professions early on. There are others for that, focus on leveling, and picking up gear as you do. On green most of us hit server first in cloth/bronze/banded.
Get friends, to level with/farm with. Its much easier 2 find a few other like minded peeps who wanna get ahead and stick with them.
Finally don't play a druid. Focus on viable great OP classes Enchanter/necro/cleric/Monk/mage are go 2 smart choices. These guys will get ahead of the rest by a long shot.

I've never been able to raid end game on Project 1999

Same here. I'd love to see a raid one of these days but I need to get over my chronic rerolling problem, and actually get a character into that range. I've probably done it literally a hundred times on Green thus far lols.

What's wrong with druids? I was told they were plenty viable in raids.

Stop rerolling and get your fav full caster(preferably not necro/Druid because they’re most abundant and also they’re a Jack of all trades, master of one that isn’t useless but it’s not priority dps cause everyone’s Druid/necro seat is already taken due to the popularity of those classes. Why: necros and Druids are good solers while lfg so they’re kinda the easiest to level without turbulence. Necros are #1 dots and Druids are #1 snare) to 60 so you can attend raids to rack up dkp and farm gear for your alts in the free time.

If your favorite class to play is a Druid or a necro, do that. What’s most important is that you play a class you enjoy the play style of. IMHO most people who main a Druid or necro wanted to play either a ranger or sk but main a Druid/Necro out of circumstance.

The rerolling is just something I'm finding hard to help, been trying to find the perfect class that I can click with forever. I'd go, play a class for a few days to a month, decide to try something else, go to EC to sell my gear and buy new gear, and that's been my cycle since the beginning of Green, lols. I'm up to wheeling and dealing about 10k worth of stuff by now.

Druid was one of those classes I did consider for a while. It's got a lot going for it, it's fun, and very useful out in the world. What turned me off though was the sheer number of them and the fact that they can't really go into Neriak, my favorite city in the game. But I did hear that they do have their uses in raids, my only real concern was getting a spot due to the number of them out there.

Right now I'm playing an enchanter, but I'm finding it difficult at the moment and my brain is already screaming at me to stop and find something else to play.

Not trying to preach too much cause I’m just returning myself: but a lot feels the same as classic. 10k plat is a lot but it’s not the same currency as the dkp you need for end game gear.

I’m probably still gonna have a piece or two of cloth when I’m 50: getting gear as you go is much more rewarding than what I remember of the insanity of liquidating my current main to peewee twink my new roll.

I’ve been in that cycle as a kid playing, rerolling and liquidating my current main for my reroll. It’s a tortuous cycle and I hope you get out of it. Maybe try making a new toon and not transferring any items to it and just playing it from the ground up.

I've never really figured out how to get gear on my own. Say I was a warrior at level 30 or so trying to camp this guy trying to get this thing. How does one convince people to stay with you at the camp, or come help you once it does spawn before someone else comes by to snipe him?

The only way I really know how to gear is to take an overleveled mage to a city with guards, kill guards, sell weapons, buy gear from the tunnel. I'm doing the best I can in this game but it's all I really know how to do at the moment. At the same time trying to find that race/class/deity combo I can really sit down and click with. It's seriously difficult right now.
