I think your leveling patterns are different than mine
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. I was able to obtain my level 9 spells over the course of 2 days, while also working my fletching and running into town to sell every time my bags filled up. This was my first toon which was an Erudite Pally, so only a hybrid penalty and no Racial penalty. My pally was not twinked in any way in that time frame either. The hybrid penalty is also going away, and will likely be lifted by the time that it really matters for Fatbob.
P99 is really about the journey. Especially with your first toon, it is about building up your character. At times it's frustrating, but most of the time it's pure fun. That's what classic EverQuest is. If you're looking to blast to max level, then you're probably playing the wrong game. There's no reason to simply rush to the end game. Raid content isn't generally challenging in terms of skill, and the top guilds require quite a time commitment and flexibility with your hours. If you are looking to simply max out in order to start raiding, again I really think you're playing the wrong game. Raiding in EQ isn't quite the same as more recent MMO's with better developed raid encounters. In comparisons to modern MMO's, raiding in EQ is less about the challenge and more about just obtaining the phat loots. Enjoy the journey.
A tip for Fatbob, keep the wiki open and look up items that you loot. In particular, keep all of the bonechips and High Quality Bear (or cat) Skins, as they sell for well in EC. Bonechips should sell for 8-10pp per 20 stack and HQ Bear Skins for 25-30. Cat skins are a little less, around 15ish. By the time I got to 15, I had a my hp/ac rings, full banded and some better armor in a few slots, and a Nathsar Greatsword. The rings cost me around 500pp, as per average. The sword cost me 100pp, which was essentially selling a couple of hides and some bonechips. The sword is great up to level 20, and will easily last you until level 30 or so. If I can catch you while you're in game, I'm sure I have a few items to spare for the SK.
