Leveling and Money : EQ1 EverQuest 1 Submissions

Hint: Barb Exp:
After starting a new Barbarian character,you should go just outside of the city of city. There is a small narrow passageway just outside of the city where all animals pass through. Almost all of the animals will Aggro usually. Like, polar bear, skeletons, goblins, and ice trolls. These animals should be a easy for you to kill, and will allow you to gain levels in minutes. This is also easier if you are a Shaman because your spells can really help out.

Easy Money:


Hint: If you need money and are a low level, try killing beetles for their eyes, which can be sold for a silver. Kill skeletons to get bone chips and sell them to necromancers for some platinum or sell them to a merchant for one silver one copper each. Helping people and doing quests can also help.


Hint: An easy way for a Barbarian to get money is to go to the shop by the fairy. The shopkeeper will tell you that if you bring him a fresh fish, he will give you one silver per fish. You can buy a rod and bait from him. You do not lose bait every time you cast, just when you actually catch a fish.


Hint: When starting out as a young Iksar around level 8, in the lands of Field of Bone, there is a Spiderling cave where you can still get experience and also harvest very valuable to tailoring Spiderling Silks which can sell for as much as 2 PP a piece.


Hint:In Highkeep, you can kill the guards. They are level 20 to 40. They drop Finesteel weapons that sell up to 5 platinum with a nice amount of charisma (around 120 is best).


Hint: Easier Frost Giant fights:
In the Great Divide, Velious, there is an easy way to kill Frost Giants. Down near the Shardwurm Caves (near the river that leads to Thurgadin) are Frost Giants and Drakkel Dire Wolves. If you are at sufficient level to take on a Frost Giant and have the ability to root, pull a Giant to the area with dwarves roaming around. Root the giant and let it hit you when a dwarf is near. The dwarf will start to attack the giant. Back away and let them fight. When the dwarf is done, the giant should be more than half dead, making it much easier to kill.

Hint: Fishing:
Fishing is a good way to get money and some other items.


Hint: Jewel crafting:
Making jewels that do something is mainly an Enchanters skill, but others can also do this. Most people with low levels will buy Str+ rings and Def+ items. However, if it is magic-based, mostly sell Jade rings.

Hint: Kunark:
Kunark is a great place to get money. All the monsters drop some. Be very careful -- the Iskar and the monsters there may not be so friendly. Stay in areas with low Train rates and low Iskar walks. Stay away from the Warsilks Woods or you will be killed by giants.

this is all common sense anyone that plays EQ would know this.

Tried it recently. No XP, No corpse to loot and no faction change. In effect, you didn't kill it.

Same goes for Blackfeather Roost with bears and spiders in the cave. They fight each other but if you attack the winner for an easy kill, you just waste your time.
