The Beginnings
For those who haven't played Everquest before (or even for those who haven't played in years), starting off can be rather daunting. Without much to guide a new player, the game itself can quickly become overwhelming and unforgiving. First, each player starts with a few necessary items: food/drink, a training weapon, a note to their guildmaster, a Tome of Order and Discord, and a few spells if they're a casting class. The tome is used in a quest to become PVP enabled, but on a PVE server this will only hinder your progression. Destroy it.
The next step should be to find your guildmaster. Read the note given to you, take down the name, and find the NPC in question. Hand him/her the note to receive a training tunic/robe, a small amount of experience, and positive faction towards your guild. Lastly, scribe any spells in your inventory into your spellbook (ctrl-b or use the EQ menu) and memorize (left-click) the spell onto your spell bar.
Preparing for the Outside World
Before heading out, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the layout of your city, mainly where your guild is in relation to the town gate, the banker(s), and any merchants close to the exit for easy selling. To bolster your inventory, backpacks and other bags are usually available at a merchant in your guild. Always be sure to have adequate food and drink as well. Caster's will not be able to use their spells when they are thirsty, and melee's stamina will not replenish without food.
Where to Adventure
The best place to start off adventuring is right outside your city. Each starting zone typically has a certain area where players will meet to form groups. Greater Faydark has orc hill, Nektulos Forest has the newbie log, etc. These are great places to meet new players and get a feel for the game.
- Greater Faydark (Kelethin) - Orc hill is located north-east of the northernmost lift of Kelethin. Recommended for players 3+. This can be a challenging camp without the right classes; fortunately there will usually be a class (druid or cleric) that can lull/calm the orc camps to make fighting easier.
- Nektulos Forest (Neriak) - The newbie log is located due West of the Neriak gate, just beyond the large hill. Recommended for any level, this area has a wide range of mobs to pull and is a great landmark to regroup to.
