Advice on progressing past 10
 

Hi,
I'm back to EQ after a 10 year hiatus! Played and raided from vanilla launch up through PoP (tanked all of PoTime). I decided to roll Monk and after a week or so of casual play I got up to 10, but am not really sure where to go from here. Would love some advice on some good places to level up and gear to get me going. I have 150pp saved up so far from selling HQ skins. Any advice on what to spend this on?

I think my main difficulty is that I typically play from about 2am-4am PST, when most of the server is pretty dead. Any advice on some good areas to solo/group to get me up to 20 where I can start doing some more real stuff?

Look forward to seeing you all in game!

Mokee - 10 Monk

Crushbone! Sell them belts

Crushbone to 15, then to oasis to 20, unrest to 25, mm to 30.

thats just me though

Crushbone can be pretty busy during prime time.

Lower Blackburrow can be nice if it's not being used too heavily for PLing at the time.

Befallen is fantastic EXP with a good group at the lower levels.

You can use this zone list as a guide for figuring out where to go.

Make some friends, bring them with you. If a zone is too busy, don't be afraid to try somewhere different. :)

(My main is 13 right now, if you see me around feel free to message me in-game.)

Thanks for the advice! I guess you guys will be seeing me in CB for a while. Any advice on items to aim for as I start making money from CB belts/pads?

I thought he was playing after primetime, im on good at timezones.

Najena is massively overlooked from 9-15, the area outside can take you 15-22. Very rarely populated, great for evils as Neriak is nearby for binds and sales. Freeport isn't much further for goods.

If you watch how the mobs patrol away from the campfire beyond the tunnel, you can get about 6-8 solo pulls to the entrance. The only unavoidable double pull is the two skeletons that guard the tunnel.

Warnings, if you go past the campfire to the right you should avoid the tentacle terrors. If you go past the campfire to the left you should avoid the (air elementals) and earth elementals.

Would personally go to unrest at lvl 12. Beetles start to con darkblue at 12.

Blackburrow I think is your best bet, at those hours it will be completely empty and you can just farm fangs which will be your fastest way to solo to 20.

Buy a Wu's Quivering Staff. Can probably find one for 100pp or even less if you tell the seller you're new to server. It's a 23/28 2hb that could easily last you til 50+. Probably the best bang for the buck weapon in the game.
