Howdy Ho, New Player introduction
So figured I'd drop in and say hi, I can't wait to play again.
I'm mid download right now and mid way through convincing my roommate to play with me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Anyhow I want to play either a warrior or a shadowknight but really don't know how to begin (this was always my issue way back when... I didn't know how to start). I'd love the solo potential of the shadowknight class, and I think that it would be the best fit for me (I'm a night person). However there is something about the warrior that is pleasing to me... I always enjoyed playing it. anyhow I've got some time to kill today and was hoping for an opinion/conversation about it all also how does one go about gearing up/making money in the beginning in my last venture into EQ (when they had the free period for old subscribers so I rerolled) it was pretty damn hard to do anything | ||

Welcome!
First few levels are tough. That's just how it goes. Maybe you will get lucky, or make some quick friends and get twinked out. Otherwise just assume you'll have to work for it like everyone else does. I'd always choose SK over Warrior strictly based on versatility, but warriors level faster due to the XP penalty. Any way you cut it EQ is going to be hard. That's it's beauty though, No? | ||

It still is slow to start, especially playing a tank. You should be aware that shadow knights have a 40% exp penalty (just like all hybrids)
If your roomate decides to play you will need to get an IP exemption. (only 1 IP allowed per account otherwise). Otherwise good luck.

My recommendations are based solely on my experiences within the last week, being new again for the first time in a long time.
However, I've rolled a troll shaman and gotten a ton of buffs + money killing frogs at the entrance (inside and outside) of Guk. Can solo here from 4-10 at least. All the frogs have a chance to drop rustys, mesh armor, woven armor, and low level gems. The rustys sell for a g or 2, the mesh and woven armor sell for more: 2g-1.4p. The gems are obout 5g-3p a piece. I'm level 10 now and have earned over 100p this way. I don't remember earning money anywhere near as fast when I played back in the day. I can remember scratching together enough money to buy a piece or two of banded by the time I was level 8. Had a full set of banded by the time I hit 9, this time around. Plus, with the high levels zoning in and out, you're gonna catch lots of nice buffs. chloroplast, hp buffs, clarity, and nice damage shields. Some nice IB mage gave me a 25hp DS this morning, I was taking on two reds at once. Felt like cheating... Hope this helps! | ||

Welcome!
Regardless of if you pick SK or warrior you will want to save every penny for armor and weapons and look for deals. SK will be easier for you now but if you are the fast leveling type then you will be more desirable as a warrior once Kunark is released. Good luck out there. I'll be sure to buff you up if I see you and maybe throw is some jewelry too!
