Advice for a new duo
I'm new to P99 (and EQ in general). I've got a level 10 enchanter human in Qeynos doing Blackburrow and am going to start a new guy with my brother as an introduction to the game. I'd like to show him as much of it as I can early on.
I'm thinking we're going to play as a Shaman/SK troll duo and do some stuff in the swamps and hopefully some low-level stuff in Upper Guk, but I've never been to any of those places. Does this sound like a reasonable plan for getting a taste of open-world exploring and dungeon crawling for new players? What level would we need to be to at least start the first few rooms of Guk? | ||

Make something more fun for exploring. Iskar Sham + nIskar necro could be fun if you don't mind sneaking around.
A druid and enchanter combo would be awesome and my vote. | ||

What about our duo would be less fun for exploring? I haven't gone far so I don't know. I figured we'd be in good shape with the shaman for SoW so we could move quickly. What else should I be looking for?
I saw a lot of enchanter combo recommendations but I want to avoid that class in particular since it's the only one I've already got. | ||

That is a pretty reasonable plan, yes. Around 8? you should be able to do entrance mobs. Upper guk is a great dungeon.

Okay thanks! We'll give it a shot. I'm trying out the warrens now with my enchanter and that seems interesting, but I don't think we want to do the erudite classes. Human night-blindness might turn him away before he gets started.

Shaman necro very fun too with regen to compensate the health loss.

then you guys will always have a druid for a port bot and a CR bot in the necro...just make sure you make 1 account for every char! | |||

Druid is the ultimate mobility for ports. I personally preferred Druid/Necro. Druid/Enchanter was also good, but I don't care for the Enchanter class, it annoys me.

Plus you can basically keep the druid / necro / etc in rags and farm to gear the SK at level 1 which would make for a much more enjoyable experience.
They'll have some zone / mechanical knowledge at that point too. SK + Shaman in rags with no game knowledge could prove to be a little tricky. Even if they don't take the first duo of caster alts too far, having the funds for basic haste / HP gear / weapon and enough leftover plat to pre-purchase canni II would help tremendously. And they'll have a port bot ready to go. | ||
