An untwinked enchanter is going to have a bad time imo. I did it on red as my first character and it was particularly rough (even with high elf charisma) pre-charm. If your healer is good and attentive you might scrape by til you get some gear at least ^^

"Shaman" is a common pick so assuming one of you does pick a shaman, learn to "canni dance" with cannibalization.

Essentially your mana goes up in ticks every few seconds. To canni "dance" you wait for the tick, then stand, cast canni, then sit, then wait for the tick...then do it again, and again. You'll be surprised how much mana you'll regain versus just standing and spamming it/having to heal.

Thanks for the input guys... It is appreciated.

This is fairly false.

It ain't hard to buy two 55hp/5ac rings, with those and scant gearing your chanter is set to dominate once you 20+ and charm gets consistent to use.

IMO I would go with a high elf or erudite for great starting INT/CHA, if you go with either I'd also recommend putting all points into CHA for INT is extremely easy to gear.

Just remember if you went Erudite, stick 5 points into AGI as they start with 70 iirc.

Dark elves do get the hide ability granting you the ability to break charm with the innate ability but it's not 100%, and for me not worth using as it's highly inconsistent regarding success rate.

How do you buy 2 55hp earrings when you're new to a server. I'm going on the basis that they're starting from scratch completely. Good luck getting all your spells ar 4/8/12 let alone nice JC items.

It's not that hard to get 450pp for a pair of rings by level 20.

Stack of bone chips sells for 10pp, greater lightstones 10-12pp to players.

You make it sound impossible to get plats as a lowbie on p99 when in reality it's very easy.

If he were soloing, a lack of gears might be harder for a brand new enchanter, but he will be duoing, so starting brand new wont be too bad.

Regardless, enchanter is not nearly gear dependent as many other classes.

Level in Kurn's to about level 20, get bags and bags of bone chips, sell them all, then spend a day or two in EC driving the hardest bargain you can on +CHA items. Profit.

If you do Kurns Tower don't kill burynai in FoB or inside the tower. That way you can do kurns tower basement at later levels.

Since both of you will be untwinked and low on money the choices don't really matter. Just from what you have listed I would pick Druid and Enchanter.

This way when you start getting higher level the druid can port to get you guys some cash and you can also both charm kill sh!t as long as you stick to animal camps (Oasis crocs/Karanas/Ect). Shamans and Necros both come into their own at higher levels for sure, but Druid/Enchanter would allow you to 1) make money porting for the both of you 2) easy groups because everyone loves enchanters for clarity 3) can charm together if you pick your camps correctly.

They both start within two zones of each other, require very little gear to level, and the two classes synergize incredibly well. Dru/Ench is one of the best leveling duos in the game. Double charm outdoors for massive DPS, Clarity, mez, haste, slow, fear, snare, heals, ports, nukes, DoTs, regen...you've got everything.

Shaman/Ench is also a good duo, but is only better at level 60 vs. high end targets. Dru/Ench wipes the floor with them 1-59 for leveling speed and is overall the much friendlier choice for new players (mostly due to ports and the fact you can adequately gear/spell a Druid for 1/10th the cost of a Shaman or less).

something bout the way you structured you intro make me think of:

i had stopped by the commonlands on my way downtown when you caught my eye. you weren't wearing much and neither was i. it was obvious we both had a love for solo play in how we handled ourselves and the resonance was profound. i wasn't very far from home, so decided to stay a while. i dunno what I was thinking. I guess i was hoping you'd see me, maybe we'd share some Jum Jum and things would go from there...

but it didn't happen that way :c i just KNOW we would make great partners though and would like the chance to show you. please contact me if you match the above description and were in the commonlands recently.
