Louis R. Vincze Jr. - 25 Jun 2003 02:38 GMT
I've spent about an hour roaming around and I don't know what the hell I'm
supposed to be doing.  Any suggestions?

go here and do a little reading, there's guides to everything:

http://www.allakhazam.com

some areas are member only (cheap to sign up), but there's a lot of
good info for free, plus links to other sites.

That isn't a player, and which won't kill you first. (You can't attack
other players, so, don't worry about them too much.) As for whether or
not something can kill you first....until you're tenth level, you lose
nothing from dying, so, you have plenty of time to learn the ropes.

Kill things.

Take their stuff.

Make friends.

Go with them to kill things and take their stuff.

It is, frankly, a great deal more fun than that summary makes it sound
-- my wife is now hooked, and I'm along for the ride.

If you mean "I don't know what to kill, or what to do with the stuff I
take", try starting by talking to your guildmaster, who will
undoubtedly have a desperate need for rockhopper spleens or rat
kidneys or goblin toenails, and will give you more guidance when you
provide him with these. The economy of Norrath, at least at low
levels, is based almost entirely on body parts; you give body parts to
NPCs, and they give you weapons, armor, and jewelery.

I also recommend www.allakhazam.com, which provides detailed
instructions on just who wants which body parts, and what you will get
for them.

First, memorize your spells if you have any. (say if you dont know how this
is done)
Hit "i" for inventory and place your weapon in your primary weapon slot.
Dind the newbie area near your home city and find a monster that cons white
or blue (say if you dont know how to con things) Consult www.eqatlas.com if
you cant find your way around (or bring up the online map)
Left click on the monster to "target" it. Press "a" to auto attack, and if
youre close enough your character will start trying to hit the monster.
Once the mob is dead, you will get some experience, and you can loot the
corpse by right clicking on it.
Save up bone chips, spider(ling) silks for sale to other players in the
bazaar.

Id recommend starting a druid wood elf or hafling for first character. They
arnt the most wonderful class at high levels, but they are easy to play and
easy to solo, so great for getting the hang of EQ.

druid is the easiest class to start with? i highly disagree, there is no way
on earth that you can say that. a hybrid is the easiest to learn the ropes
with imo, melee, heal, stun/dot. depending what your hybrid class is. i have
a friend who made a druid and didn't buy any spells till the 25th lvl when i
told him he wasn't supposed to melee, needless to say, everyone of his
spells fizzled for the next 2 weeks and he quit his druid. all the time i
thought he was kiting around.
so according to this, there are mixed opinions on the easiest class to play
and it all depends how you like to play the game,
take it easy - cleric,
nearly have a heart attack when the cleric jus gets back from afk (w/o
saying) in time to ch you - tank
running away from scary mobs while killin em - druid
gettin someone else to do work for u while u heal him and still get solo
exp - beastlord
nuke like hell until the bastard thing dies - wizzie
buff people up and contribute to the fight while the people around you kill
the fecker, OR solo more-or-less anything in the game - shammy

everything changes, i cant be arsed writin out discriptions for the rest of
classes, coz im lazy, but u get the general idea and so will most newbies.

I should have mentioned that I also had a shaman. She is level 10. I
rarely play her, and I really don't know why. But you are right, she
is a great class, has some great buffs, and can tank some too. I don't
solo her though, and I'm not entirely sure why not.
