Upper Guk. Frogloks are loaded.

This. I went to Guk with my SK at level 8 and got a lot of funny looks from all the 20+ players at the zone, but the entrance mobs and the ones up to the Froglok Necromancer all drop gems. Onyx, jasper, jade... They all sell for between 8 gold to 3-4 plat each, and they stack.

find humanoids to kill, loot everything, sell, repeat. I leveled up in crushbone and that place was a goldmine for loot. Never had a problem with spells.

I don't want to start an entirely new topic but here's a related question for all the people being so helpful itt - any advice for a rogue just starting out that's sorta struggling for money and gear? since I can't really solo most things I figured I'd ask.

maybe I should just create a character that's better at soloing until I can get some decent stuff for the character I want to play?

I'm up to 11 on my rogue with no twinking. Head to Gfay ASAP, or try to get thorns/regen from a druid and solo some stuff. Worked fine for me.

You can get by without twinking on any character. I'd go to Crushbone and sell belts and pads (1pp, 2pp each, respectively) for combined EXP and PP. That'll get you up to level 15 or so. At that point, head into Unrest - monsters will start dropping bronze, chainmail, rawhide, the occasional fine steel weapon, and most importantly, research components. These sell for 5gp to 1pp to merchants, weigh next to nothing, and are stackable. After grinding through a level or two in Unrest, the loot you get to sell will net you 50-100pp easily, especially if you're grouped with twinks or whatnot that aren't interested in loot.

You can also solo easy stuff, like bone chips (decaying skeletons in North Ro), high quality bear pelts, and spiderling silks. This stuff sells to other players and you can start killing the appropriate monsters basically from the get-go regardless of your class.

Im a druid. How do I get to WK from oasis ?

[Zigfreed]

http://www.eqmacwiki.com/eqatlas/atlas.html will step you through it. But the actual answer is go to EC, beg buffs, plead for a port to NK, go to the gypsy camp area in the middle, slay the hell outta wisps, turn in greater light stones to Myrselia (sp?) there in the camp for 10pp each.

I just leveled my chanter from 12-14 there doing that and made 200pp plus got really bored, mixed in with moments of terror. At 15th you will whine about the xp and drool about the $ when the GLS drops.

Do NK instead of WK. Wisp population is far more condensed. Or go to wisp island.
