New Paladin, new player, zero cash. Advice?

[xcyberpeenixx]

Hello there! I just started the p99 server and am playing with some friends. I have a level 4 Paladin and am looking for some advice.

I have a couple questions maybe you guys could help me out with [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

1) Soloing, I read that Pally's suck at it because of poor DPS ect ect. But I am not a min/maxer and I was wondering if they can at least get by and take on some decent stuff if you are smart right? They cant just fail all over the world at soloing ya?

2) Gear and when to get it. I have zero gear and was wondering what sets are attainable for a newb, im ok to farm camps and such. Things like from level 10-20 use gear "A" from 20-30 try to farm gear "B". Maybe stuff like that?

3) Tradeskill. Should I be a blacksmith, will this help me make some cash or money? Will I be able to make my gear which will help me because I cant attain it as easily due to poor solo abilities?

4) Good places to level. I am a human and was wondering where are some good nearby zones to camp/ farm some xp and maybe some loot to sell for some cash?

5) Any other general advice that can help a Paladin level up and be awesome?


I know we aren't considered an elite class, but I have a love for Paladin's and what they represent and just want to kick some ass with my friends. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
