Thank you for the response everyone.

I probably should have mentioned that we were trying to stay closer to EC and the constant market running there. Thank you for all the suggestions on where to exp.

Travel becomes the only issue. Travel time vs. Lost exp.

Perhaps we will focus on only one of us crafting for now. Due to initial costs.

Thank you all.

Consider having one of you roll a druid or a wizard. Druids especially are great first characters, and as you gain group ports you gain a way to reliably make money at no cost to you. If you do wind up pursuing tailoring they're also great for that since they can track animal targets.

1. Time. AKA: Time-sink. This may be one of the aspects of eq you forgot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

2. Doing tradeskills as you level up your first char is always going to make that time-sink bigger. But this server is not going anywhere! So there is no rush! Take your time!

3. Oy. Bards. Nerf bards. But it's classic eq, there are a hundred ways players used to be "annoying," and frankly p99 is tame compared to the shenanigans that used to go on, and the basic rule of thumb for a good time in eq is, "avoid hassles." There are places bards can't bother you -- dungeons.

Take whatever mobs you want off of bards. Take as many as you like, think of it as a monster delivery

Qeynos area do rabid pelt quests.

Freeport you can farm some bone chips to sell.

Faydwer you can sell crushbone belts and bone chips.

It's nice to see new players here. If you are planning on playing here seriously and raiding I would recommend another game. If you are just playing to relive the leveling part and casual part I think you may enjoy it. But don't play this server for the raiding. It is the worst raiding experience you can possibly have from any mmo out there.
