i have a 28th paladin,i know all this stuff from experience,i have a magician high elf too. now,when making a high elf it is CRITICAL that you give them str,because(especially with pallys) otherwise you can't carry the armor,and you generally,regret it!my pal had 76 str,now(thanks to at least 1k of pp) she has armor that gives her 95 str! but casters,need the int,and enchanters especially need the charisma.int=mana!
there IS a north felwithe!this is where casters go to to turn in notes,get spell components,get spells!
anyway,i suggest you hunt around the felwithe gates,but at half way through 1 i went to the ruins near kelethin(the tree city) BIG mistake!just stay near felwithe gates till about 3rd lvl then go to kelethin,hunt orcies near ruins(they spawn a lot there) then around oh 5-6 when the newbie mobs green out,go to orc lift(3rd lift at kelethin,i had trouble finding it at first,but ask someoen to guide you and you will learn it VERY quickly)hunt at orc hill in a group,and you will get MEGA exp!then when you get board there (around 6-9) go to CB!warning,if you look up dangerous in the EQ dictionary,there will a screen shot of CB!(aka crushbone)
WARNING!!!!!!!!
DO NOT i repeat DO NOT try to solo crushbone,if you do not play a caster!if you don't cast root,or have a kick butt pet,you had better be in a group,unless you are on a suicide mission!!
ofcourse,when you get sick of CB,(or if it scares you) go to BB(butcher block) it is about the same lvl as CB,a little lower maybe, and there are tons of mobs!but beware,basilisks can stun you!! anyway,it is just plain GREAT exp!
then about 13-15 try out unrest,but be ready to run,at ANY,and EVERY time! one good thing,you get MASSIVE cash!in weapons,or in coinage!but in dagnors(go through BB to dagnors,then to unrest,they are all attached) there are reletively high lvl gobs!some are blue to my pally!namely tidal lords!and they are READY TO ATTACK! i suggest invis!one other good thing about unrest,you usually find people you will run with for the rest of your characters life!
after that,MM(mistmoore) around 20-22 lvl is best with group!BUT have a enchanter these vampire dark elfs gang up! and with a group you can take all the yard trash thrown at ya!BUT do not EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES go into that tower!things ee through invis in there!and are deeep daaark red! but the hill is a GREAT point to camp.if you notice the 40-58th lvl people,they hunt stuff in/deep deeep in that tower which is attached to he castle!MM is located in Lfay,avoid teir dal,and shadow men.
PHAT LOOT:MM sheild!THE BEST untill about 40th lvl!semi=rare drop off glyphed ghoul,he spawns near hill.ALSO the MM drum,from gypsie dancers,or something.bards ADORE it!i here it is best drum in the game!
after that,well caz thule is great at about 28th,when stuff greens out in MM.these mean little lizards are rude(stickin g there tongues out and all) so teach them to have better manners,by killing them!in addition a lot of enchanter stuff drops in here!silver wand from silver yard,gloves from radient.for mages:broom,shovel,stein,and torch. this is ALL i know of!but i am sure therfe is more!
this is it,for now.whne i get to a high er lvl i will let you know about the newest,best places to hunt!
REMEMBER:you are a high elf,dignity and grace sum up your name!do not let beggers get the better of you!KICK THEIR BOOTIES ALL THE WAY TO ERUDIN!
may tunare bless you,
