New to casting world

[musicianofstark]

I decided to roll a Wizard. I do understand that a wizard is a difficult char to start in the casting world, but I've always wanted to roll one in old everquest..so I did.

Anyway, I'm finding myself running out of mana extremly quick...and of course mana regain takes forever...I'm lvl 11.

I am just wondering what equipment I should be keeping an eye out for. Maybe take up tailoring for my own use? And is there any potions I can find that will help.

I guess what I'm asking is for any wizards advice to one who is aspiring to be a good one.

Thanks,

Merthus
