Starting out as a Dark Elf Necromancer

[myrkraverk]

Hi,

I am trying out Project 1999, and EverQuest for the first time. I have never played before, and I'd like to start out as a Dark Elf Necromancer. I'm currently playing on Blue.

What I would like, would be some sort of starting out guide, like the physical guidebooks that were at one time available for WoW. Is there such a guide?

Also, I do not know what is and isn't a bug in P99. The welcome screen mentions a [help] button in an [EQ] menu at the bottom of the screen; there are no such buttons. It also mentiones unused story itemes, but Alt+N does not bring up anything (this could be because the default keybindings don't work correctly on dvorak or it's a bug).

That said, my character is still at the starting area, near the waterfall in Neriak Commons. What should be my first steps?
