New Cleric

[Azeam]

Howdy everyone. I wanted to say hi to the server. Now that I figured out how to get it installed ;) I loaded up a cleric and made my way to Qeynos. I use to play on the EQMac server, a shaman named Torque, and I thought that server was old school. Before that on Rodcet Nife 2000-2003. This place however is truly something special. Kudos to the team behind it. Donation incoming!

Getting started is always fun. ATM I'm in Qeynos but I'm looking for more interaction and grouping options. I've tried to foot it across Antonica, feeling brave. Some of you guys in SK the other night where hilarious in /ooc. Anyway, if anyone is able to help relocate this island dwelling cleric to FP you know where I'll be... unless my hitchhiking thumb gains the attention of a passing wizard or druid =)

I'm sitting here at work and all I can think about is TGIF I'm logging on EQ tonight lol - it's a good feeling come back. Thanks guys and see you in game :)

Hiking can be fun, but don't be afraid to ask for ports. You can easily get a port from any druid/wiz ring/spire to any other one. Just get to a ring/spire, do "/ all druid 39 60" or "/ all wizard 39 60", and start sending tells. If you're nice and explain that you just started, people are happy to port you for free.

Thanks for the advice Estu. I trekked it NK and got a port out, thanks ;)

Now I've started to collect bone chips (not easy to sell) and spiderling silks to build up the general fund =)

East Commonlands if you wanna interact in the mainstream PC economy.

Yeah, I agree. But starting out its a way for me to build some coin.

Hi Torque ! Nice to see anothrr from Al Kabor !

Greetings!! This are moving ahead, I'm making progress. I've built up some funds with the bone chips, spiderling silks, bear pets to get a set of banded. I'm going to keep at it, the newbie guide here says maybe try some baking to ring in some more coin for spells and other window shopping. I'm level 6 and keeping an eye out for an Orc group in EC.

I should begin to look at guilds.... Knights look like a good guild, about my pace.

[Azeam]

I am planning now to head over to Crushbone, for a few levels. Following a mix of the cleric and druid level guides on the Wiki - great stuff on there!!

[Azeam]

Can anyone suggest a decent 1HB for me? I looked at the wiki but most of those are out of my price range. I have maybe 50plat, or a bit more, to spend on something.... I'm still using the basic 1hb club I received while still hunting in Toxx. Thanks in advance ;)

Wraith Bone Hammer comes to mind -- they are around 50pp, maybe less.

For 50-100pp you can get a Brell's Kep Popper. It doesn't have stats but it's got a very good ratio (15/35) compared to the newbie area dropped clubs.

[Azeam]

Thanks for the ideas. I'll see if they're selling =)

Don't think humans can use this...if that's your race.

I am Erudite, so it should be okay!

erudite not on it either

What does a poison wind censer fetch these days? I hear many a cleric leveling with one until it procs.

Also Azeam, if you're inclined to do some solo work - check out the almighty Swish Cleric Solo Leveling guide 2000(tm) (http://wiki.project1999.com/Swish%27s_1-50_Cleric_SOLO_guide) on the P99 wiki. Some good routes for burning down the undead... just work on your WIS when you can, get:-

+3 WIS earrings (11pp each to make)
+6 WIS rings (101pp each to make)
+7 WIS/STR veil (200ish to make?)

= 25 WIS for starters.

... obviously jewelcrafters will bump their prices higher up than the make cost, but if you can find a sympathetic one then they might do them for you at trade prices. I've only got a JC on red sadly or I'd make them for you.

There's one for sale now for 1300pp, which is pretty low.
Have seen them auctioned for up to 2k.

Still, out of OP's price range...

Good ratio 2hb, can probably grab for ~100pp. It's only effectively 10/24 until level 10, then it's 11/24 thereafter.

^^ Easy offhand quest to look into at lvl 15. You might need some help (invis helps), but its just 1 guy you've gotta kill, then spend a couple plat, and bam, 10 wis/10mana offhand.

[DrKvothe]

About 6 wis rings:

Wis is worth 0.2 mana per char level per wisdom (at least on my sham). So 6 wis is only 12 mana at lvl 10, 24 mana at lvl 20, etc.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Moonstone_Ring
^^ More mana than 6 wis until level 25, for a fraction of the price. In general, raw mana is gonna pwn wis for a while.

Raw HP is huge at lower levels. A dead cleric can't heal anybody!

http://wiki.project1999.com/Jarsath_Scale_Armor
http://wiki.project1999.com/Supple_Scale_Armband
Free armor, some of which has nice cleric stats. You'll probably wanna wait until your 20s at least to pick some up. You'll need a port to DL, invis, lev, and maybe someone to draw away the entrance mobs. Go when the zone's crowded and most mobs will be cleared 100% of the time, so you can safely grab rots. Just /ooc that you're looking for jarsath scale armor and supple scale armband rots.

I made a cleric, He is a Halfling. I should have made Dark Elf I think!
