New player but confused

Love this game its waaay more challenging than the rest of the garbage out there BUT...

It seems you have to start a mage to make any money to be able to play another class..

Example I started a Monk hes lvl 8 but I cant even kill a even con mob with out dying and people tell me its due to my gear. SO

Is the best thing to start a mage and make money then gear my Monk?

Thanks for the advise in advance.

yea you're exactly right, you really can't effectively solo as a melee class (bard discluded). that being said, if you're a min'maxer by nature consider the Mage as your money maker and forego the journey on the monk.

melees have a hard time soloing, gear or no gear. At level 8 your are going to miss a lot due to low weapon skills and such, so fights can be pretty random, then if you do win, you will have a lot of down time. So, if you like the monk class, stick with it and figure out how to get groups a lot, or make a new class that can solo decent/well (any caster). Whenever I make a class to just " make money " in a game, I always end up just playing that class : D Not a bad thing, I guess.

Azeth, I don't think "disclude" means what you think it means.

Perhaps you're thinking of "Exclude"?

Magician or Necromancer seem to be the consensus...possibly also druid

Just wondering, is this your first trip around EQ? I think maybe you're saying "mage" in reference to cloth-casters (enc wiz mage nec). I literally mean a Magician though, or Necromancer. Yes, both have pets.

Though, understand if this actually is your first time with EQ you really ought to play what is most fun for you, and allow yourself to be a noob for a bit.
