Leveling advice (wizard)

[Alarria]

I'm finding it hard getting back into EQ, as it's been like 7 years since I played. I'm doing the whole root nuke thing until 29 when I can quad (I assume, only level 4 at the moment). I've completely forgotten how you get gear. Are there quests for stuff as you level, or can random mobs drop stuff? Do I need to mainly buy stuff from other players? Feeling like a complete newb here!

Kill stuff, loot stuff, sell stuff, buy stuff

I started arround one and half week ago as wizard ( level 19 atm. )
From level 1 to 5 i was in the starter zone ( Neriak/Nektulos ).
Most of the basic cloth armor gear droped here for me.
I saved bone chips, spider silk, HQ pelts, skins and sold it later in ec tunnel.
At level 5 arround i moved to EC and start hunting there and also looked for group or a hunting partner.
At the entrance there are always nice people that willing to buff you.
As wizard dont forget to grab always a sow if possible if you are soloing.
I would avoid to send people direct tells asking for buffs.
Just ooc for buffs at the entrance of ec tunnel.
At level 8-9 i moved to WC and was grouping there for short.
During this time i switched between ec-wc.
Arround level 13-14 i moved directly to oasis and was hunting there.
I was in oasis till level 18 when i got my first guk group and moved there.

I can't tell more atm since i went yesterday my first time into guk. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Grouping as a wiz is a bit harder than some other DPS classes but definitely possible.

If you want to make pretty good money you can do the Greater Lightstone turn ins in NK. I did Erudin's crossing for quite some time collecting Greater lightstones.

By far the best way to get gear is to buy it in EC from other players. To do so you'll need to farm up the plat for it - once you have a nest egg of a couple hundred platinum you can do a little shopping spree for cheap stuff. You probably won't be able to do so until level 15 or 20, as early on most of your money is spent on spells, but later on you tend to make more money from loot than you lose from buying spells. You can also farm to get money faster, but as a wizard you are not terribly gear-dependent until you are quadding, which starts when you get your Bonds of Force spell in your 20s or 30s. Really, the best thing to do is to choose what monsters you kill wisely: go for humanoids or undead since they tend to drop weapons, armor, and later research components that you can sell to vendors.
