[EQ2] The Ultimate Newb Thread

[Aphextwin]

I try to keep my trade skill around my adventure level, currently 52 adventuring 46 tailor, but as someone mentioned above, post 40 crafting with not too many recipes makes for rather slow progress. Waiting on rested XP before spending a few hours crafting certainly helps.

On a brighter note, I am still making a lot of money selling armor, the non rare cloth stuff, for whatever reason, at level 30 and 40 is really selling well for me, I am averaging close to a plat a day selling this stuff. As for harvested rares we tend to share them amongst our guildies to help kit everyone out in gear, bags, boxes and spell upgrades. Also, I don't advertise for work but lately I am getting more tells from people looking for me to craft them items, they usually have all materials and give me around 40g for a mastercrafted level 32/42 armor set.

I have never been much of a crafter in my previous MMO's but I do enjoy crafting in this game.

I've decided to give it a go. But I've never played past level 20 so i'm a total noob. Is there any guilds/groups looking for new players? I play a lot but my knowledge of the game is limited.

Haaaalp!

If you staret up on Antonia Bayle, look up Mistwalkers. We are getting to a good end game raiding level but are taking new players and helping them learn the game and progress. You can check us out at www.mistwalkers.org

Looking at RoK, and after playing the trial, I'm sold on this, going to upgrade my account next week (no money right now qq). Post-lowbie zones, what's the levelling pace like? How long can I expect it to take me to get to 70 for my first character, in terms of played time?

If you play like 4-6 hours a day like month in a half to 2. You play regularly, but not hardcore probably around 3-4.

I'm generally in the 4 - 6 a day catagory these days, depending on work/uni/life, so that works out fine. Not stressed, I intend to take it slow and enjoy the content, but I would like to hit cap and have some time to gear up/guild up/level crafting/do whatever before RoK releases, so I can jump in then and be on par with whoever else by the time I hit the new level cap.

Well I woudl say, don't rush. There is TONS of content you will miss if you rush. Of course, with mentoring, you can go back later and get AA credit for it.

I know you can get in to your 20s in less then a week. After that, it's pretty fast. It's not like old EQ1 and it is very similar to WoW today. All depends on play style, class, static group/guild.

We're about 4 1/2 months away from the actual release, so you look like you'd be good to go. Since there is so much time between now and then I will probably be doing some mentoring here and there for all the new peeps joining. I'm 52 atm and I only get on WoW to open pvp a lil and do 10 games of Arena to get my 610 points =/.

Yeah it's looking pretty good, having a good time in the game so far, the graphics look amazing (50x better than Vanguard, and it actually manages to run well AND look good on my computer, quite a feat), and the gameplay seems fun. I'm not too concerned about being competative in the highend scene anymore, but it would be nice for something of a fresh start when RoK comes out so I stand a decent chance of landing a spot in a guild somewhere and doing some raid progression, looks like there's plenty of time to be prepared for that though.

I kind of gave up on WoW entirely. BC is just more of the same, and frankly I was sick of everything that games offers well over a year ago. Something fresh as far as MMO's go is going to be a refreshing change. I've been so bored with nothing to play since I quit WoW a couple months back.

Since shameless advertising is tolerated, if you're interested in a small European timezone guild, look me up on Lucan D'Lere, mostly online on Alyn (my druid) in these days.
EU timezone preferred, not because we're racist, it's just that we want people to play with us, not after we've gone to bed. So if you play early afternoon on EST or early morning on PST, you're welcome as well.

We're a bunch of players only, we don't intend to grow past a certain size and we play at all levels, not only T7. Our goal is to have each member hit 70 by the time RoK comes out and eventually do some raids here and there, nothing hardcore, anyway it's free game till November 13th then we'll see what's the best course of action.

For further info, PM me.

If you guys need it, I'll mentor down so you can catch up.

If you know where to XP you can get to 70 in 3 weeks easy.
