Hey guys wanted to follow up. Did mistmoore on my monk and said screw the weight limit, made about 100p in 3 hours. Used this to get a few much needed noob upgrades and it's helped me quite a bit. I'm up to 29 on the monk and can at least kill greens and light blues in upper guk and contribute to a group without too much trouble.
The only problem I see now is finding mid level groups. Whenever I go back to mistmoore, there's just a lake or graveyard group and they are perpetually full. I get in them sometimes but it's tough. Have tried upper guk, maybe I'm not going on in the right time but it always seems to be me, and a necro or shaman camping AC. Going to lake of ill omen the exp has slowed down a bit (did 15-28 there with some breaks) but I may go back. Any advice for good spots that seem to have groups in the 30s? Made the trip to HHK but it was dead as well. | ||

/who all 30
/tell AnyOrAll Do you have room in your group for a 30 monk? /who all (zonename) will tell you if there is someone there...so you don't go all the way there to find no one is there. If you do see someone there, you can ask them if they have room in a group for you. | ||

You could probably solo a lot of the Fireplace area in Unrest if there isn't a group there. FD splitting the room above it (on the stairs to the hag room) won't be easy but if that's splittable you're in for a good time.
Keep LFG tag on, even try and form a group for MM or something while you're at it - all you really need to get started is a healer.

When it comes to groups, you'll be forever bored if you are looking for a "holy trinity" + 3 group. Especially if you aren't part of said trinity (Tank + Cleric + DPS (rogue)). Every other class is at an immediate disadvantage when trying to get a group together from scratch, even CC (enchanters/bards/rangers[?]).
What works pretty well, and honestly is sometimes a ton better XP, is to just group with a class that compliments yours really well. DPS + Fear Kiter/Shaman Tank makes an awesome due. Cleric and a Monk can do some damage too if you keep the mobs blue. Even a Monk+Druid can do some damage if you have the druid do the kiting with snare/flame to keep aggro and a Monk doing the "DoT" damage. Get creative. Typically a person will be more than willing to duo as it can make the grind less boring.

I see both sides of it. New guy turns up to the server, sees L5 bards running around in full cultural/singing steel etc...and feels like he's months if not years away from getting that gear.
Entry level items like dragoon dirks are priced at 50-75pp...well that's a lot of money to someone who just started. On the flipside, there's the players out there that expect too much help. I mentioned in this thread (I think, if not one similar recently) that I had a guy in the early teens send me a tell asking if I'd 96% rez him while I was sat in EC. Someone pointed out that instead of spending time sending tells that he'd probably be able to make up the lost XP in about 5-10 minutes. I had help when I got here, so I like to help out. I guess not everyone was so lucky, grinded everything out themselves, and feel like everyone else should do the same. Whichever category you fall into, try not to look at the big picture too much... enjoy the experience of playing old school EQ again, gear up as you go, and chances are you'll have a little help from one of those twinks in terms of gearing [You must be logged in to view images.

Don't expect an abundance of help but at the same time realise to yourself that you won't be that naked L1 with a wooden sword forever [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
