Casters can do Wisps at 8, but it's hard and you have to high summon your pet (if mage / necro) easier at 10 or 12.

Also can turn in the lightstones in South Ro.

Mage pet can kill them at lvl 8. You just need the whisp to take damage from the fire elemental damage shield (since the pet can't do magical attacks at that level). You won't have to nuke until the whisp starts retreating.

WK bandits drop bandit sashes that you can turn in for exp + bronze weapon which sells to the vendor literally right next to him for 1-5pp. As a gnome necro though you may need to kill a few gnolls before you'll be able to do the quest and even enter qeynos, but that just means you'll gain more exp. gnoll fangs will give you decent exp all the way to lvl 12, and by then you should be able to solo the bandits.

Stay away from the half-elf male, he's a nasty caster :P

Finally, don't worry about your platinum. As a necro you won't have a real need to gear up until you decide to raid, really. So just save your money for spells and level as fast as you can. Once you hit lvl 50 you can farm all the money you need.

Never had much luck selling pelts. Seems like nobody is ever buying. They just take up room in my bank. BUY MY DAMN PELTS!

I will say one thing about belts if you plan to farm them just to make money you might be disappointed. You basically have to get lucky when someone rolls through with a level 1 toon to power level themselves on belts.

So If you can wait around for someone to buy them, than they are great I got impatient and just went and turned all my in. But I read you were a necro and I'm not sure if you can enter Kaladim and not get Killed =P

Belts are unreliable sales. Pelts are.

ALWAYS offer a dramatic lowball for anything someone is selling in EC. Pretend William Shatner is hovering over your shoulder mocking your sexuality for not offering low enough if you have to. Prices are retarded due to mudflation and an outbreak of ultra-geared twinks, so no one knows what any of the untwinked lowbie gear is worth because no one buys it. As a result, the minimum price for these items tends to be around 100p.

Offer 10-20p (10-20% of asking). Seriously. Most people have no clue and are just throwing a number up there fishing for some ultra-twink who will buy their +2 STR rings for 50plat each. When you offer 5, they'll typically sell to you.

If there's one thing I've learned in these types of games, it's that people want to be told what to do.

Also true of most women in the bedroom.

If you are on the Qeynos side of things and can't seem to make any decent plat, then I have news for you:

Rabid wolves
Rabid grizzlies

All located in the Qeynos Hills area.


Take their NO-TRADE (diseased/putrid) pelts to the temple of life, inside the flying saucer, to Priestess Caulria. Trade them to her one at a time. She will cast cure disease on you (if you've been stuck with rabies for a while) and also give you a hefty bit of exp if you're under level 10. Especially if you have pelts en masse. Most of the time, if not every time, she will give you a Spell: Endure Disease which can be vendored for a little over a plat each. You already get a plat from the quest itself, so by turning in multiple pelts the pp really adds up.

Don't forget that if you find a Fleshy Orb you can turn them in to the same person and she will send you on a quest to freeport. The turn-in there rewards you with a fine steel weapon which sells very nicely.

Yes any character can ask a mage for a level 1 summoned dagger to kill wisp and give them to to the pet.

But you don't have to be a toolbox about it.

Anyway, killing low level wisp found in EC and Nek forest (watch out for guards if you are KOS) is pretty nice and was part of my regiment for any new server that opened up on live way back in the day. Mages are always in EC tunnle and you can ask one for a summoned weapon for the pet. Greater Lightstones get traded for the Concordance of Research which in turn sells back to the vendor for 9pp a pop.

Great way to finance any character starting off in EQ (As a melee you can get a full suit of banded pretty cheap [75pp] and a PGT[75-100pp] to start & casters need even less than that).
