Hints...

There's no expansion after Velious therefore raiding at level 60 and spending $$$ on expensive spells is the equivalent of an old aged bald headed man working 18 hours a day to buy an expensive sports car that has no wheels just to rev the engine in front of the neighbourhood kids with. At 60 you reroll, so choose a race which will you enjoy leveling up with not one which is good at 60 because unless you want to be the bald guy revving his engine you're only other choice is to reroll.

There's a finish line which makes everybody obsolete so go slow instead of sprinting towards the finish line like a retard. Competing hurts you in the long run. You don't need to race or compare yourself to others. Whatever you acquire becomes obsolete down the line and that includes your class.

The wiki which "anybody" can edit is not Classic so if you want to be classic then avoid the wiki altogether. The wiki is not an official source either, it's 3rd party.

And then you get bored after a day of revving the engine.

You stare at the sports car in your garage, struggling to find ways to reignite your passion for fun.

But you feel nothing.

All you see is a hunk of expensive steel. The love is gone.

So you turn the garage light off, leaving the beauty in the darkness.

You sigh in disappointment as you realize your life passed you by as you were working for that sports car.

Picture the scene...

Old bald guy sitting in a sports car that's perched high up on bricks in a basic cul-de-sac. A car he worked day and night for, birthdays, christmases, double shifts, weekends...

The car has two big bore exhausts.

Toothless children passing by.

The bald guy frantically revving the engine to draw their attention to him.

"ENVY ME!" he yells out the car window with each rev of the engine.

But nobody is looking.

The cul-de-sac is full of lots of old bald guys doing the exact same thing as him.

On each dash, a big bottle of viagra but no woman in sight.

Welcome to CuckQuest.

"I'm going to level a Shaman to 60 and spend 350K on him just so I can kill 'dragons' in WW for a few days before it gets boring. Then people will wish they were me just before I reroll"

nuh uh its 182 steps or something like that maybe a bit less cuz some races cant be some classes but u get my drift

I love how everyone loves to declare this ... while completely ignoring or forgetting that back in the classic era we had Caster's Realm, Allakhazam, EQ Atlas, EQ Traders, forums for every single class (I think a couple classes even had multiple), sites or forums for major guilds ... and all sorts of other websites that have since been lost to time.

The wiki puts everything in one place, is more detailed than those sites, and has a few features (eg. the location Xs on maps) they didn't ... but to say it's "not Classic" is to admit you really don't know what classic was like. Today we might look at a map on a second monitor instead of printing it out and putting into a binder (like we did back in the day) ... but it's the same exact map the EQ Atlas guy drew 20+ years ago.

Yeah, I used Caster's Realm a ton. I remember that

After you have hit 60 with every single race/class/religion/char model combination then you win EQ.
