Honestly I'm not sure DuxaUI is the best option, but I couldn't get any version of Vert from EQ Interface to load for me (no idea why). I am open to suggestions, and I know it's very subjective. I just want to experience the game right, and I know two things for sure:

1. A good template or guide video would go a long way to get me started (have not been able to find either for P99 specifically)

2. The pre-packaged UIs are rough.

Templates and guides are tough because there's no consistent starting experience and every class is going to take a slightly different path / approach to things, but in general, if you go to the wiki and look up necromancer guides you can get a decent bit of info and ideas from that.

For me, personally, I'm kind of boring and prefer efficiency over other things but the vast majority of my characters follow the same pattern:

1. Start as a race that is near by or has strong leveling newbie quests: Neriak, Kaladim, Qeynos, for instance all have very good newbie quests. As you're a dark elf, look at the wiki for the Fire Beetle Eyes quest and there's another I think its snake fangs and snake skins? These are things you can sometimes find by the dozen on vendors for like no money, and I often buy them out to essentially power level a dark elf for the first few shitty levels.

2. Around 12-14 depending on class, I go to East Karana. It's simply too good. You can cruise from 14 to 26-28 here (Asps/lions/brown spiders -> hounds/griffins -> crag spiders).

3. From there do whatever. South Karana to your 40's, dungeons, the overthere, up to you. Earlier I'd just go to south karana, but nowadays I kind of look for novelty so I just go to zones I haven't really lived in and go to those instead. Most of them so far have been surprisingly good.
