I've gotten similar advice before, but to be honest every time I think about trying to sit down and organize something like that, I start to get nervous and I get headaches. The thought of whispering random people from the other side of the world, not knowing how they're going to react, and then trying to get them to where you are and together is genuinely pretty hard.

Like, I want to, it's just...very nervewracking, hehe.

The worst that's gonna happen is they say no. You don't need to form a full group either. The best xp you'll find is gonna be from duos/trios anyway.

Well almost garanteed 1 of those five is camping thick banded belt or burlap bag, which is same as mask guy. U must play during off hours.

Most times the mask rots, u can just loot it.

If you're that introverted, you're going to have a hard time 45+ and raiding. The kneckbeards here have mandatory voice chat and batphones, so ur cell gets pinged telling u where to go to mobilize for targets.

I recommend. A necromancer. On blue.

Maybe a shm.

Or dru.

But. Necro will be powerful with only lvls and a few relatively cheep spells.

To be fair, you usually only have to be present to listen to raid directions. No need to talk.

Yrah. I got a lot of grp invites in wow just saying hiiii. And then I am usually quiet the rest of the time unless someone was asking for strats with a dungeon.

I am more talkative in EQ simply cuz it requires almost no focus.

True. I suppose the other issue too is that I actually don't know the dungeons that well. It's why I always sought out groups for them. For instance, the only two camps I know of in Mistmoore are the pond and the graveyard. I'd love to take or join a group into the actual castle itself one of these days.

I've raided in WoW before. I can get into voice chat and listen to directions when it comes down to business. I'm just not the type of person to hang out there during off hours and listen to folks talk about random stuff.

TBH, not really interested in listening to the potty mouth some of the instructions come from. All the swears in voice made raiding something I'm unable to suffer.

Well it's helpful for making friends that will explain how to get up to different camps n stuff. U probably don't have to talk a lot. Just make ur presence know.

I noticed on p99 the skill requirements are higher. Back on live ppl would run to get me on my cleric and help me.

On p99 I carry a plethora of invis pots, shm ivu pots (instant!), pumice stones, sow pots etc.. and have a to know my way around.

I'd say for learning dungeons. Enchanters overtake necros. But a rly twinked monk or decently geared necro has some ability. Those classes are pretty manuverable. SK too. But u won't be soloing frenzy.

Cleric with good charisma and clicky atone can ninja their way around, but that is pretty advanced.

Back in vanillllla classic... I chilled out in the back of MM with a 45 ranger who could solo who showed me the ropes. I soloed hooded black cloak guy on my druid.

And, I camped CT crusaders on my wizard invising around in CT at 40+

Sooo. Like. With root, potions, and camping agro u have some options.

Druids won't be killing frenzy without kunark clickies really.

Anyway. That's pretty much all I can share. Necromancer solo in guk taught me a lot. I also soloed my clerics a lot in guk. Kiled the cavalier, but not the magi or lord or frenzy sentinel on clr. Probably could have done the scribe ez.

If you try ench. Seriously don't worry about dying so much just bind somewhere safe close by and get back to charm killing. It's so much APM I don't recommend tho.

U can always mute.

Big irony is voip isn't really 1999 era appropriate and u don't even need it to raid in wow either. But yeah. Not really caring for the vocalized buttslapping majority either.

I am genuinely considering Rogue right now. I know it's not the best solo class, far from it, but it's probably one of the best groupers, and there are *some* things I could do solo on slow nights, right? Even if I'm just stabbing some greens for cash and whatnot.

Easy epic, valuable in groups/raids, can explore everywhere and learn the layouts of all the dungeons in the game. I can pick a neutral/good race, grab a dark elf mask, and utilize all the cities in the game as well. Rogue really does have a lot I'm after in a class.

Not when the ones giving the instructions are the ones with the potty mouth. Winning move is not to play?
