Try saying "I need keyz" to the skeleton guard right next to the elevator, and make sure you're targeting him and standing basically on top of him since a lot of the games talk prompts have a very short range that they work at.

Is it wrong to be irrationally jealous of all the twinks I see running around? With the economy as borked as it appears to be, I can't imagine ever being able to do this... And how are they giving themselves these items anyway? I'd have some serious reservations about dropping these things on the ground and logging out..

On a more serious note, is it possible to get through Highpass as a low level? Just to get from one side of the zone to the other? I was running from Qeynos to Freeport as my bard, but got held up there. There never really seem to be any people clearing stuff out around the zone lines, so as far as I can tell, I would either have to get an invis or a port..

The economy is actually incredibly helpful for new players. Unless it's near BIS it's usually pretty cheap. What used to be considered great weapons for 60 are now trash for lowbies. You can find weapons with 2.5-3 rations pretty easily under 500 plat and some solid ones go for 75-150 such as Wraithbone hammer (8/26). For a fresh start on the server, it's pretty easy to work up to around 150 pp just by farming skellies and animals (for HQ pelts) and then getting your first solid weapon. After that, working on the wisps will get any class enough pp to get them through.

By not going through HHP. Depending on HOW low you are, you can go from (Qey -> Fpt) through the karanas to gorge of xorbb through runnyeye to misty thicket to kith forest to the commonlands.

As a bard you can outrun anything trying to get you (mostly), except in Runnyeye, where the run is so short even if you do get nabbed a couple of times you'll zone out the other end before it matters.

Jealousy can be a motivation to keep plugging away! Classic EQ is a game with a long tail, and just remember every twink you see had a main that started with nothing but a guild note and a rusty sword just like you are. As for how transfers are done, you can risk a drop transfer or make friends. I would suggest the latter, because the better you are at making friends, the better the game will be in a lot of areas. I also suggest looking around on the wiki for guides to make a little extra PP as you level, there's some good advice there beyond the staples of Bone Chips and animal pelts (which are also very good and shouldn't be ignored by any means).

That's about it. If no one's clearing Highpass mobs, then you need an invis. Again, making friends is handy here if you don't have a way to invis yourself. When I made the run though, I asked in EK /ooc if anyone could spare an invis then ran my little Erudite ass like the wind praying it didn't drop. It didn't, but the adrenaline rush was fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok so I am currently at lv 18 with my de SK, and mistmoore is too crowded to get a group. They are all lv 20-24, so I can't get exp with that level range. I went to The Overthere too and same thing.

I am trying to get lv 22 for my new spells. Anyone know of an area safe to travel for a de SK to get a solid group for those levels? All levels don't have to be in the same place.

Hit me up in game on Izini if you see me on. I am camped out in EC right now and need to get my new animation anyways. I'll invis you if you need it to get through.
