Necro(DE) newbie equipment. A follow up to race selection post.

[Beinen]

So I've made a dark elf necromancer. Cheers to all the non-iksar necros. I tried a gnome and I just was not favoring the tiny town that they start in. I explored a bit and was thinking at some time tinkering would prove superior to Hide or Forage abilities. But naahhh I don't like the city so I chose Beautiful Neriak and nektulos as my home!

However, as a new player I was wondering where are some of the low end (lvl<15) places I should go for some necro gear or if any quests in particular I should definitely do. And yes, I've looked at the wiki but I like our community and wanted some input!

Thanks in advance,

Beinen

Quests from Sol Temple - you can't do most of them until the 30s probably but you can start collecting some of the items you need.

Honestly, cloth armor will be fine till late 20s when you can do the temple of sol ro quests...
but in the mean time
http://wiki.project1999.com/Fire_Goblin_Runner will it you a small bag with 5% weight reduction that is light weight but only 6 slots.

Thats about it, you should save all your coin for spells and eventually a circlet of shadow. After that you can worry about the rest of your gear. But Necros are pretty good nakkid as long as you have bone chips to summon a pet.

Befallen & Unrest will offer you some easy drops (better than cloth at any rate).

Yes, I am familiar with the dagger and cloth armies from befallen. I am looking forward to to that place as its undead :) I'll do the fire goblin runner quest as soon as I'm able. I'll update when I'm in the 30s doing the sol stuff

Sol Temple quests are the way to go. They should be able to be done by another toon for you to either pass the loot or MQ if you have someone higher. Basic Int gear is very easy to get, you can buy it or have a mid-level toon farm stuff off oowomp in TD

MQ takes the fun out of things!!

Dagger of marnek was probably one of the first things I camped on my necro when I first made him; it's a nice little range slot item. In general, you will want to value HP as much as you do Mana; this wiki page: http://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Necromancer_Equipment is useful for searching other items that you may be able to get at a relatively young level (or any level). Remember that raw mana and hp items are going to benefit you more at a lower level than will int and stam. Shadowbound gloves and boots are great for a young necro.

If you plan on playing your Necro in Velious which will be out soon, I would suggest you just go out and level it now. There is NO noob zones in Velious. And a Necro really needs NO gear at all to get the job done. :cool: And like said go for mana low levels, Int high levels. And for some reason Int cost more than Wis gear on here. :confused:

Just use the cheap, aka, free Robe you got from the trainer, and go for it. You need to be at least mid 20's to do any Velious low level zones. :p

Well, level 12 with my DE necro. Working on getting befallen groups for the dagger!

Yeah, I agree with the general advice of just trying to level at a steady pace and not worry too much about gear if you can help it (until later).

When you do get ahead, and want a nice break from serious xp, it can be refreshing to take some time to upgrade some key item slots (e.g. camping a low-risk spawn that has a large upgrade for you); but your best gear by far is going to be attained when you reach raid level and fight with a raid guild or just by dropping some plat that you pick up along the way.

Is it worth your while getting over to Paineel to take advantage of quite possibly the easiest 'Evil' Primary Slot in Eq?

Scratch that, Erudite only, sorry.
