New player, enchanter too steep to start?

[Kotopes]

Low levels are actually quite easy due to pets that are very strong for these levels. The only problem is that your level 8 pet (and all other pets 8+) are sold at Highhold Keep...

My experience on P1999 as an erudite enc was:
1-4 kill a few mobs so that you can afford some tiny daggers, summon that pet and melee every blue and white con down, letting pet tank when you are low on hp
4-10 I went to Warrens and grouped with just about anyone of close level and used pet to vaporize every blue/white again.
10-12 two skeletons at Paineel zone in in Tox Forest, tash one, let pet tank and nuke a couple times.
12-15(16) Now in Erud's crossing on the island spawn about 9 wisps. They are highly social, but easy enough to pull down and let pet tank one while you use your new lvl 12 dot and nuke once to make sure you do 51% or more damage. Hoard as many Lightstones as you can.
16+ Just head to NK and turn all these Lightstones for research book quest. You will probably get 2 levels up and will be like 18+

Then just go to FV/OT, grab Breeze spell and learn how to charm solo or group.
