Newbie Guide

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.
