Early weapons for Warrior

[ez2oo2]

Greetings all! I have recently joined Project 1999 with some of my co workers and am looking for some knowledge to help me get up to snuff.

I played a lot of classic EQ back in the day. Started playing on a friends account when he would let me and got my own when Kunark came out. Would sub off and on over quiet some time and progress my guy a little bit each time. Needless to say I was always the guy who just a little bit behind. My friend usually gave me some hand me down gear and would occasionally help me get something new of my own. I was never in high populated guilds, or rarely in one for the matter. I didn't do a lot of the quests and mostly just followed my friend around and grouped with him. So my knowledge of the world in some areas is a bit lacking but enough that I still consider myself an avid fan.

HERE IS THE ACTUAL QUESTION AND NOT MY NEEDLESS RAMBLINGS!

I have rolled an Iksar Warrior, because I love the Iksars. Might not be the prime choice but its what I want to be. I have made my way to Faydwer and have proceeded to destroy Crushbone with my friends but I find myself to be a bit lacking.

My taunts feel useless and I can't DPS enough to pull the aggro. What are some easier to get weapons in the area that might help pick up my slack a bit? I can think of all the fancy names I used to remember equipping but can't remember any of the methods needed to obtain them. I am also flat broke as I am completely new to the server. I made it to Faydwer with 15pp left after some backpacks and a port.

Thanks in advance for any input, save adventures in EQ! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
