@ the OP:

Honestly that above comment is exactly what you should be doing. If there's one "mistake" EQ newer players make it's aimless wandering/exploring. If you want to get lost in the lore, by all means. However, if you're a gamer and you just wanna play and compete in EQ do not stop killing things. Everything you do should revolve around getting exp, getting into groups, setting groups up, and did i mention exp?

Hit 50, then get your gear. In the meantime you'll accumulate some plat and just browse the EC market for some upgrades.

Did i mention don't stop exping?

So I should just grind mobs? No quests?

I'm guessing that you may have played WoW, which has a far more developed quest for exp system. EQ wasn't as polished in this respect because it set the initial standard for the genre (coming out in 1999 and all).

A vast majority of your exp throughout the course of your play time will be through killing stuff. There are some cash-crop exp quests, such as Crushbone Belts, Crushbone pads, Gnoll Teeth from BlackBurrow, Bone Chips turned in at the Kaladim Paladin (say that three times fast) guild...but even those quests have soft-caps once you pass a certain level.

Most people around here are pretty nice, although I was told to shutup last night because I was quoting monty python: the holy grail in Gfay /ooc chat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just created my first character, a dwarf cleric named Jeffasaurus and have never really played everquest before either so this post was incredibly informative! Thank you for all the great links
