Fairly new player looking for guidance

[Nasku]

Thanks for the replies. I'll look to get a teleport to Butcher/West Commons. My main with my brother is Iksar SK (He plays Iksar shaman). I know Iksar is very diffcult but he really wanted to play it lol.

I think I want to stick with a cleric, I thought about it and it's the most appealing for me. Even if it'll be harder. I'll be actively looking for groups though it seems ooc is used for that which I learned yesterday.

OOC works for some groups, but there are also groups that would take you if they had to make a decision on it, but wouldn't bother making a decision on something as remote as an OOC message. So it helps to go up to a group and talk to them in /say or even tells.

You can do /whos for a level range, like `/who all 10 12`, I think, to find active zones. When you group with someone you like /frined them, and eventually use `/who all friends` to try to get groups going too.

You're right about the steep learning curve, and the lower levels as a newbie can feel brutal. Don't be afraid to let people know you're relatively new and open to advice. A lot of us have been around for years and have tips and tricks that might help you in the moment. As long as you're not begging for handouts people will usually be very helpful to new players. Most classes don't really start to come into their own until about 30, and clerics at 39 get complete heal which is a class defining spell.

The quote below is also good advice. The most successful EQ players are the ones that make things happen for themselves instead of waiting around. If you're good with solo, but wouldn't mind a group, then leave your tag up while you solo. If you really want to group then try to put something together using the syntax below to find players like "/who all War 20 25" for example. This will also show you where players your level are hanging out. Even if the group fails to come together you'll learn something and meet people.

Ok so static iksar SK / shaman with your brother? Good.

Cleric alt? Just get familiar with /who (class) XX-YY XX being -3 and YY being +3 of your current level, look for competent enchanters or melees you can heal.

Or just leave /lfg up and solo undead. You'll be doing Hags in Unrest for a long, long time.
