First Time EQer

Thanks, that helped a lot. I sharpened up a few rusty weapons, found some quests in Neriak, started filling my bank with bone chips/silk... I'll head to Freeport soon (currently lv.5) after I'm finished getting sweet revenge on the wolves and bears here.

The only remaining question I have is about level-up training points. I assumed focussing a single weapon skill would be best for DPS? I read it was mandatory to put 1 into spell schools to get started, but with other skills on the horizon I'm not sure if they're more worthy.

You'll have far more skill points than you'll ever need, don't sweat this. The wiki explains the exceptions to this nicely.

Weapon skills go up automatically as you use a weapon in combat. You don't have to spend skill points on them. I would save them for learning languages or something.

I would not necessary just focus on one weapon skill. I would get multiple weapons of differing types and level them all up. That way you'll have more options available to you.
