Welcome to P99. A magician is good class to start out as. Not great dungeon divers, but not bad nonetheless. You should consult the leveling guides on the wiki for additional resources. I personally never leveled much in Freeport area. I find getting buffs there is spotty. Players are either lazy and will not buff you or are afk. I recommend you go back to steamfont and level around the windmills. It is my go to place to level. You can get to level 12 easily there and then go to unrest. Unrest is when groups finally get a modicum of structure.
Crushbone is too crowded and a lot of times the groups there are too newbtastic to amount to anything useful. As a magician you provide reliable dps in groups. That is your role. Group etiquette is to maintain that role and nothing else. Most people are not chatty because we are all watching tv while playing this Grindy game.
I can’t more highly recommend you join a guild. You have immediate access to answers for many questions and also group content you may not otherwise have known. Joining a guild changed my P99 enjoyment drastically for the better. Good luck out there gnome.
