Hello! Completly new EQ player with a few questions

[Jester]

Hello everyone!

I have never played EQ before, I've just dinged a Lvl 2.5 Druid and have a question or two and I'm asking for some tips!

1. How do I find quests? I've tried talking to NPCs, but when I click them they just say "What does your tombstone want to read?" except if it's a vendor then I can sell stuff etc. Is there someway to see if an NPC has a quest ? (I've done my newbie quest to give a note to Te'Anark but doing only that one was friggin hard even with help [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

2. Regging Mana/HP, is there a way to speed it up? So far I've just stod still and waited [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

3. Is there no map in EQ? Having a hard time finding my way around. I had help to find the NPC I had to deliver that note to, and without it I doubt I would have found the zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

4. Is it worth buying armor/weapons from NPC vendors? Does it make a big difference, or is it better to wait until I get some lucky drops off mobs?

5. I don't really understand the deal with the Training Points at that Te'Anara character who is my Druids go-to girl, the skills she can train me in I seem to be raising from running around and fighting monsters. Should I be investing all my Training Points in something specific which wont raise from combat/casting ? How many TPs does one get from raising a level and is it possible to re-specc incase I mess up ? Do I get TPs all the way to maxlevel ?

I can't think of anything else right now, highest priority would have to be my first question. I'd like to find a quest or something so I can find a little purpose, right now I'm just running from large rat to large rat and whooping them down.

I'll gladly accept any tips or tricks you might have!


Edit: I couldn't find any new player FAQ or even new player forum section, so I hope I wasn't to lame at searching and that I can get some help in here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
