To all the people starting from scratch..

[iruinedyourday]

Started P99 as a bard.

1. went to Blackburrow and did gnoll fang collection quests with pickup whoevers.
2. went and did bandit sash quests in the karanas banked 600pp by level 18
3. went to Oasis to get some more levels.
4. 24 went to sisters in OOT to get about 3k by level 30
5. went to EC to spend my plat!
6. grouped in the CE for a bit in mistmoore so I wouldnt be a terrlbe group bard (gotta learn the class!)
7. Welt to OT, sold a spot in my group to leach XP while I aoe kited and made about 20k!
8. decided I didnt like my bard and re-rolled an enchanter twinked to the max!

I knew nothing about bards, gnoll fangs, bandit sashes, sisters in OOT or even powerleveling, let alone bard kiting when I started out! Just through the awesome community and amazing forum I was able to figure it all out and definitly saw that if you put your mind to it, anyone can master EQ!

Love this game.

That said, I was lucky that bard was able to do all this stuff without any gear at all heh. I had never played a bard and always wondered what they were all about. Fate was on my side in choosing a bard for my first character.
