Farming cool items.

[Toehammer]

I strongly suggest playing a class that is not too complicated if it is your first time playing. I think enchanter wouldn't be the best choice.

Shaman is pretty straightforward (my favorite class actually). You can attack a little bit, heal a little bit, buff a little bit. Once you get regeneration spells, cannibalize, and slow, you will understand the class.

Druid is also worth mentioning, as you have teleport spells, so you can see the world and get to learn all about Norrath. Druid can be fun I think as a first class.

Whatever class you are, team up with someone as soon as possible... grouping is the best way to learn about EQ and have the most fun. 95% of people on these servers are pretty cool if you ask questions, so don't be shy.

On the other hand, if you can play an Enchanter well, you can easily learn to play most other casters and priests

If you choose enchanter, go with dark elf or high elf. Be agnostic. Put as many points as you can into charisma, if there are leftover points put them into int. As soon as you get dark elf illusion, which is at a low level, you will be able to do a quest for a good item called Stein of Moggok. Doing this quest will involve journeying to the ogre city of Oggok. There you can buy a great enchanter item off of the merchants called crude stein for like 7-9pp. The Stein of Moggok quest you will be able to repeat a couple of times and sell for about 250pp each time. Buy charisma gear with this money. Try and get it to 200. You will be able to charm solo up once you get past level 12 with this level of charisma. Quests along the way that can also net you cash but you won't be able to do until like the late 20s will include incandescent mask, incandescent gloves, rod of insidious glamour (all of these items will be the best available for you as well in their respective slots until you get higher level). As for your question about fungi tunic, an enchanter is a neccessary part of any good King group in Sebilis (the camp where it drops) but you will probably need to be 57+. As an enchanter I won the roll on the second tunic I saw drop at like level 58 or 59. G'luck. As others have said shamans and necromancers are also great choices. If you choose necromancer be an iksar, if you choose shaman be an ogre.

That is amazingly helpful. THank you so much.

I almost wonder if this is right or not. Given that int classes are almost always going to be high on int or cha by default. Myself I always put max in agi for avoidance ac, the remaining I place in cha or int. Because int or cha can easily pass 180-200 with very little spent. And if you look at gear we have no drop for the classes later on a lot of pieces were designed to balance agi and dex in as well. Given casters are shy on these stats, myself i've always boosted agi or dex by default. Helps survivabilty later anyhow.

well there is this guide on wiki http://wiki.project1999.com/Treasure_Hunting_Guide

I am strongly leaning towards Shaman, going by the advice I've received. I need to settle on a race.

I'm down to either Ogre, or Troll.

I think Troll would be more forgiving than Iksar and have that sweet regen.

Ogre has the stun immunity, but they're so ungodly huge. I toyed around on a Barbarian for a bit to get a feel for the camera and stuff and to me it's very clunky. I can't imagine playing with a huge Ogre taking up most of my screen.

Having said that, if you guys really, really think Ogre is superior to Troll, I'll listen to your advice and roll one. I'm going to be starting playing in about fourty minutes.

Shaman also get shrink, so in indoor zones you'll be able to shrink yourself. I personally prefer troll for the regen + better looking. Frontal stun immunity is not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Troll's are also big though, just not quite as big as ogres.

[Sillyturtle]

Somehow, I ended up making a Barbarian. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how.

Man this starter zone is rough though!
