First Time EQer
Just made a Dark Elf SK yesterday called Nzaru. Never played EQ in my life but got into MMOs through vanilla WoW and tried a lot of them after that. Been chased around the zone, lost my corpse and restarted, got completely lost in Neriak, and generally felt lost in a strange new world.. it's great to have that feeling back.
Cheers to the project and cheers to YOU for 5 points of bludgeoning damage! | ||

Welcome, if you haven't already check out the P99 newbie guide: https://wiki.project1999.com/Newbie_Guide
As you've found out, if you're going to die it pays to stay still rather than running around and dying somewhere you can't find again. I make a social button on all my characters for when I'm in trouble: /yell (just in case a friendly high level is passing by) /loc (gives me the location co-ordinates so at least I have something to find my corpse again). | ||

Thanks, that helped a lot. I sharpened up a few rusty weapons, found some quests in Neriak, started filling my bank with bone chips/silk... I'll head to Freeport soon (currently lv.5) after I'm finished getting sweet revenge on the wolves and bears here.
The only remaining question I have is about level-up training points. I assumed focussing a single weapon skill would be best for DPS? I read it was mandatory to put 1 into spell schools to get started, but with other skills on the horizon I'm not sure if they're more worthy. | ||

I would not necessary just focus on one weapon skill. I would get multiple weapons of differing types and level them all up. That way you'll have more options available to you.

I can't add much that the newbie guide doesn't go over already. Levelling and experience gain is going to slow down immensely right away, but that just means it's a great time to start grouping in the Commonlands.
Crafting some tattered/patchwork gear will help until you can purchase a set of banded mail from a smith in EC tunnel (about 100p for a set). Bone chips/high quality pelts/silks do sell, but sometimes it can take a while for buyers to come around. Since you're in Neriak area, try the moss snakes quest. It will help get you over some slow points in levelling. https://wiki.project1999.com/Moss_Snakes | ||
