New Face!

[Lampolo]

Starting a class to make plat is common and terrible advice. This game takes way too long to grind a druid up to 34 (for ports) when you can match that income with any class by simply xping your mid 20's in a good vendor trash zone like Solusek's Eye (Sol A).

Druid - The most convenient class with run speed spells, ports, heals, solo gameplay. Lots of tools and raid support. Mediocre XP/Farm class.

Necro – One of the stronger solo classes. Can DPS for groups. Lots of tools. Strong pet. Not really the best at anything outside of convenient soloing.

Enchanter - #1 solo and plat farmer. Glass cannon. High stress gameplay, can’t leave PC for long without prep.

Cleric - Best duo class to go with ench and best healer. S-Tier in any situation outside solo.

Warrior - Best tank, can dps, most underrated and underplayed class. Needs others

Rogue - Best melee DPS, relaxed gameplay, groups and raids want you. Needs others

Monk – OP melee class. Can DPS and tank with lots of tools. Needs others

Wizard – Best burst DPS, they also have a lot of utility for raids. Weak sustained DPS. Groups don’t like too much. Not great for farming or XP.

Shaman – Second best solo class but has lots of spells and items to get before realizing it. S-Tier duo with Monk. The gear and spell journey can be fun.

I would strongly advise against Pally, Ranger, SK, Mag, Bard for new players because they are gimps and nobody wants them outside of their niche. You would be upset end-game unless you have the experience to know you want one.

If you are new to classic EQ be warned even the best solo class (Ench) will be slow and boring compared to other games. This game is made for groups. Melee classes, even the monk will struggle to solo without twinking.
