It's hard enough on 1x exp, how is everyone doing it @ 10x exp? I'm level 8 and could only afford a single level 4 spell so far.

Gotta grind cash from green mobs. Get out there and find those cracked staffs.

grind vendor trash
What would you do on blue if you had no coin and were level 8.

Begging in the /shout channel should be glorious.

I don't think you'll have as much trouble as you think with regular XP. 10x XP makes it so fast you don't acquire as much crap to vendor to get to your next spell set. Also you shouldn't be able to afford every single spell. Make some choices. Decaying skeletons drop cloth though and thats always like 1g at least. Mobs with weapons too always good. 2Handers even better.

10x experience is actually EQ hard mode. Casters can't afford spells and melee can't keep up with skills.

Negative I shredded skeletons for Max loot and Max skills by the time I was level 6 from skarabs I had almost max 1hs 1hb and 2hs on ranger and 6 bags I had looted from skellies and had about 4 stax none chips and had a full set of cloth armor except the shoes and had like 15pp from weapons like cracked staff.
You guys can figure it out. Best game.

correct only the side inside toxxulia forest exist I guess if you try to zone in you go into oblivion. But for the quest you just need to give the cap to the skelly there no need to zone to other side

Kill decaying skeletons 1-5 and thats 40pp loot. It'll take like 6 hours.

Aim for humanoids and undeads. Loot weapons and cloth armor, vendor, repeat.
I only killed snakes/spiders/bats etc if no skeletons/orcs/gnolls were in view range. By level 5 or so you should have a couple plat, several backpacks, and full cloth armor.
Special mention to 'cracked staff' since they vendor for 1p each. If you see anything wielding a staff, pull it asap and hope its cracked instead of the cheap/heavy 2h staff.

Ironically, it should have been a colon after "punctuation". I can only imagine your embarassment.

Prostitution is the oldest profession. So I hear.
