Newb Tips

[WolfOfOdin]

I plan on playing P99 Green. I never played EQ back in the day as I was busy with UO. I started playing EQ after Luclin. I've played p99 blue. So, does anyone have any newb tips or just general information on what I can expect Vanilla EQ to be like?

#1) Roll a Caster or Priest Class!
#2) Do NOT Roll a Hybrid Class!

I was thinking of rolling either a Monk or a Druid tbh.

My first tip is: don't listen to this type of negative crap! Play what you want to play.

Monk will level about 20% shower than your druid.

I also think monks got a big boost in Kunark (dropping Nov2020)
Make some money with your Druid. Twink your monk next fall [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is NOT how it works, People just keep spreading misinformation

If you have a well balanced 5 man group and the difference is adding a monk or a druid, and the group kills at the exact same rate, it will level around ~3% slower with the monk, because the total exp needed by the group will be ~3% higher. This depends on a few factors, including the exp penalties of the other players (no doubt some casters and likely a hybrid or two)

Soloing? Yes you can take the exp penalty at face value, but soloing will not be the best exp for a monk anyway.

For real just play what you want all the negatives are so overblown. Early weeks on Green will be hilarious and fun.

Either of those options will be a lot of fun. Can’t go wrong.

If you played on blue it's going to be pretty much that except you won't be going to all these places that you could before and where you do go is going to be very crowded. You should go Rogue so that everyone will feel sorry for you and you will always get a group and your endgame will be fantastic!

As much as i want to try a rogue i miss having bind and gate too much. SO FUCKING MUCH. Once you have the ability to at least return to bind it's hard to go back..
