So while I've got a topic going...

Anyone know what this UI element is? I swear I've clicked all the toggles but I can't get them to go away

ALT+E

Those are for bard songs on live.

Hmm definitely don't see anything about bard song under the UI list, had a good few read throughs of it. Got the buff one to come up, but yes this one is just a smaller version.

Thanks for the welcoming and the rest of the advice!

EDIT: Yep that's it ta Morlaeth, it says that toggles S.D. Effects Window, never would've guessed.

ALT+E will toggle the bard song window off. It is unused on P99.

At some point on live bard songs went into a separate buff window (those 6 boxes you see there), on Live (early on) and on p99, bard songs take up traditional buff slots.

On P99, I think GFay is the best zone for new players of the game. It's not overly complicated, there isn't much that can really set you back to discourage you and the population is healthy for both grouping and general assistance.

Early to mid teens is a better time to really explore the world more, after you've become more familiar with the game mechanics.

Went on a bone chip run to Kaladim, spent multiple hours grinding .5 percent mobs to get lvl 3-4 and spent another couple of hours purely killing skeles for four different 2 percent drops for my first druid quest which I expected to lead into a chain, only to be told to do it again or gtfo.

Getting absolutely destroyed by white orcs and couldn't find anyone else around to group with so gonna call it a day I think.

Got into it a lot more today and starting to get the feel of things, especially nice knowing the layout of Kelethin a bit, place is a damn maze at first.

Hells yeahh

Gfay was always a good starting place in everquest, but on p99 its excellent because people tend to congregate there. You should definitely do orc hill starting at 4 and by 6-7 go into crushbone for a while. Sell the belts/pads or turn them in for exp as others have said.

Starting in the low teens you have tons of good options, its mostly personal preference. You can do the karanas, unrest, blackburrow, oasis, upper guk, ec, befallen, the list goes on. Oasis always has people in it and is centrally located with a bind point not far away. Lots of people do unrest but I never go there personally, if you die getting your corpse can be awful. Blackburrow and the karanas are never packed but you're rarely alone.

If you are new to the p99 or eq in general, stick to the well traveled areas and make some friends. Join a leveling guild, its a great way to meet new players and when you hit 46 in a few months you can find a guild that does more of what you want to do

First time playing any everquest game.

Definitely looking forward to joining a guild, things are a bit lonely at the moment.

Thanks for listing those for me I'll have a look at what looks good to me!

If you stick with this game, you should put a lot of thought into which guild you join once you hit 46 because you're throwing your lot in with a group of people in order to do high end encounters and build up the chance to get the best loots possible. (46 is the minimum level for the planes and is a common cutoff for joining many medium-high end encounters.) You should put very little thought, however, into joining a leveling guild. They come and go every 3-6 months. Just join one, it will make your life a lot easier. You can always leave by targeting yourself and typing /guildremove

If you are brand new, Crushbone is great. Collect the belts, run them over to Kaladim, get a full set of leather armor and some great starting cash for spells. As you level, do the Slave Keys quests and the Lego pads. There will be a level range where legos are still very hard but centurions are trivial, and it might be faster just to kill centurions for belts.

At ~15, you can stay in Crushbone, or you can move to Lfay to do the sisters camp. Treeform and self-ds, and let the sisters beat themselves to death on you. People do this camp because the sisters drop bronze weapons that you can sell at the vendor in the zone. While you are at sisters, try to complete your Tunare symbol quests (assuming you are a Tunare worshipping druid).

At ~19, sisters slows down. You can move over to unrest, or keep working until 20, and then try to get an MM pond group. Mistmoore can take you to 40+ easily.

There is no reason to head to FP at early levels, unless you want to beg gear and buffs. The xp in East Commonlands is not nearly as good as in Crushbone, it's a rough place to level until Orc Camps, and Orc Camps require seriously outside buff assistance or a full group.
