To answer your first question - yes magician is extremely newbie friendly. Probably the most newbie friendly class. Your pet is strong especially at early levels, you don't need much gear, and your only role is DPS.

For iksar, monk is the most fun class in EQ. Monk has a great toolset with Mend, Feign Death, Sneak, excellent DPS and solid tanking ability. Pretty newbie friendly - but takes some practice to learn the tricks (ie: how to use feign Death to split packs of mobs into single pulls, how to sneak around places you're KoS, etc)

Necro is also extremely powerful, and also has an incredible toolset that includes Feign Death, lifetaps, a pet - and as you get higher levels necros get hands down the best spell in the game : Charm.


Iksar is tough for beginner because they're KoS virtually everywhere except for Cabilis. Use consider (c key or /con) on targets to see if it's safe to approach.


However, Cabilis and the surrounding areas can get you from 1-60 (with lots of time and effort) and you really don't need to go anywhere that you're not welcome, except to slaughter for exp.
Thanks. I'll make my first and main class an Iksar Necromancer because there's "An Iksar Hermit" in Cabilis and I consider myself somewhat of a hermit myself. Not very social. I have two questions left.

1 Where to go as an Iksar Necromancer? Field of Bone or elsewhere?
2 Where can I find a guide for a race/class combo if I want to level it up to level 60? Surely there exists some guides for certain race/class combos but how do I find them? What do I need to google search?
