First pack of tips for Everquest 2

Since it's the game i play the most at the moment, it would only seem natural i start on this one.



So my first batch of tips will go for those who are just starting the game.

- There are 4 starting zones at the moment, for good or neutral Greater Faydark and New Halas, for evil and neutral Darklight Wood, Timorous Deep. For evil my pick would be Timorous Deep, for good New Halas. Those offer the best experience for a new player in my book;

- Since EQ2 offers a huge number of different classes, it's better to just give a small list of what's easy or not. So here goes:
  • Easy: Conjuror/Necromancer, Shadowknight/Paladin, Inquisitor, Wizard
  • Medium: Fury (as DPS), Coercer/Illusionist, Warlock, Mystic/Defiler
  • Hard: Troubador/Dirge, Guardian, Fury/Warden, Brigand/Swashbuckler
Note that not all the classes are here, since i don't have feedback to all type yet, but this should give you an idea;

- If you get one adept book for a spell below level 10, which is not your class, sell it on broker. Lots of players are trying to raise there transmuting skill and rather then grinding the stuff needed, some might just buy off broker;

- If you, however, want to raise transmuting, mute everything you get, it won't be enough...;

- Get those AA! I know you are tempted to reach the cap level as soon as possible, but don't forget a level 90 character with 100 AA is near useless. Any quests or name's with star you can grab, do it;

- Use the chronomasters! Mentor can help you doing lower level stuff, for AA and experience. Mentor low level players also;

- For a melee class, time your auto-attacks with combat abilities in between;

- Grab anything you can, either to sell it on vendor or broker. Every penny counts;

- If you into crafting, the first thing you gonna need is raw materials. There are two ways, grind all the way up, or just join a guild. Most guilds have an hall that will allow you to access their material depot, that will save you a lot of work. If you end up going for gathering, be sure to get also the Gathering Obsession quest line from Island of Mara;

- Races are not important, but a Ratonga is always cool; :p

For help, just leave a comment here, i will contact you the way see fit. Just know i play on Splitpaw.
