This. Clerics are tailored perfectly for being the core of groups, and they excel incredibly well there. And as Lojik said, the social aspect is one of the best parts of EQ, the reliance on other players is a major factor in (Classic) EQ.

That being said clerics can definitely solo all the way to 60 if they'd like, picking specific undead location where they turn into wizards with heals. And down the line cleric/chanter dream-teams can pull off amazing feats of named mob destruction, but truthfully its the group play where clerics shine. So go shout some /ooc and send some tells around CB or Orc Hill or even in EC where the buffs run rampant and get in on some group action, you will certainly be well received.

Hi all ! Thanks so much for the feedback !!
I wanted to tell u guys that last night i decided to travel to Kelethin, the trip was awesome taking the boat and stuff. Once there some anonymous enchanter bound me and even gave me 20pp as a gift ! That was great ! I havent spended it yet, not sure what to buy, any ideas?. Later on i found a group that was camping at the "orc hill" and needed a healer, so i joined. It was fun and kinda challenging but i liked very much.
I think ill stick with the cleric, its great when u find yourself a group, though im aware i have soooo much more to learn !
This time i wanted to ask you about the macros, is there any useful one for a healer?
Thanks again !!

Are you a Freeport cleric or a Qeynos cleric? Pretty sure I have a spare set of medium banded, a shield, and weapon that could help you get started. I just don't get over by Qeynos often.

Hi ripwind, Im a Freeport Cleric, though i recently travelled to Kelethin ! I sure could use any items you have for spare !! Anyhow, as told before, yesterday someone gifted me 20pp so perhaps i can pay for those items though i have no idea if its enough !
My Clerics named Eramir !
Thanks ! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am fairly new to p99 and my first character is currently a level 15 Paladin. Some spells are bugged, the melee apparently is totally off and you miss when you shouldn't and yes the XP sucks ass. But I love it, because its what I really like to play.

Play the character you feel is just baddass and you will MAKE that class work. People say Pallys cant solo really well at all. Well I made up for it for selling bonechips for 10 years and then started blacksmith and have been selling gear for a while. This allowed me to buy awesome gear in EC to beef up my character. I can now solo camps by myself.

- Of course im only level 15 though and who knows what the future holds, but you get the idea! Besides I am a tank and should be grouping anyway, just as a cleric should.

Soon I will have a Ghoulbane and make undead shit themselves. But I work 10x harder on the Pally because it's what I really enjoy.

Wow man ! your story is really moving ! By the way, id love to know more about smithing, sounds cool, i think i wanna give it a try.

1) You should save your 20pp for spells, since they'll get expensive and fast. Only exception is that it's good to have some bags to hold loot.
2) Smithing can be lucrative (if you're doing cultural smithing), but it's not really worth pursuing at low levels. It'll take several thousand platinum to be able to do cultural smithing. On the other hand, you can make banded with a couple hundred platinum investment, and make a little money on it, but it's not really a great way to make money.

Yay another cleric, really loving playing mine!!

Sachiel, I haven't seen you on the past few days (at least when I've been on), but I still have a full set of Medium Banded for you, and probably a couple other small things too. I can hitch a ride to GFay and drop them off for you tonight if you'll be around?

Add my characters to your friends list Sachiel and send me a tell when you see me on.

[Bantam 1]

Hunt bears and orcs in EC or CB.


Sell the HQ pelts, orc scalps, belts and shoulder pads. You won't make a fortune, but you will be able to buy the essentials and spells. I've made about 300 plat going from 1-9; nothing to write home about, but you'll be able to easily afford spells.


Also ---- CHECK MERCHANTS!!!! (found 10 df belts on shady and splitpaw gloves in Neriak). I kinda felt like those guys that rummage through trash at night, but whatever a troll's gotta do what a troll's gotta do.
