Advice for a returning player
Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 3:37 am
Hello folks,
I am sorry for "Another returning player advice post", but I am looking for a little advice about my mage.
I have looked at various sites, and some of the sites I remember are no longer around. Luckily, I found this site. (and it's for mages too!)
Here is some info.
Background:
-Last played 8 years ago, Gates of Discord Expansion I believe. I think it was a month or two after the end of the 5th Anniversary I stopped playing (Fabled JBoots lol)
-65 High Elf Magician
-150 AA's (Sporadically placed...6/6 New Tanaan Crafting Mastery =P)
-Most, if not all 7 main tradeskills are roughly 250, Spell Research is at 200.
-Epic 1.0 obtained.
Currently:
-Silver Membership
-99% into 65
-Mostly solo play for now
-I do not have the newest expansion, VoA.
Goals:
-Casual play (Explore, Max Skills/AA's/Level...eventually)
-Epic 1.5/2.0 If possible (Because it is there)
In the past week, I have tried to read various posts, guides and FAQ's to refresh my memory, and to learn the new things, but I still have a few questions.
I used to have the augment [Diamond Prism of Companionship] with Summoner's Boon.
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=23480
But the item it is in, is red and forbidden to me now.
Is it worth it to buy the [Intricate Summoner's Earring] now, or wait? (Summoner's Boon)
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=83971
Wait as in, at 65 it doesn't matter, and I should just buy one at a higher "level"?
Or if not that item, any other suggestions, I might have missed for my level?
Which brings me to the next question,
At my current level, should I be trying to level up or get more AA's to help me level later?
(Level up quickly to gain access to more spells/items like the Elegant Summoner's Earring, the summoned pet focus, or the I think wire coil, etc.)
Any suggestions on where to go to level/AA? The current hotzone for 65 "The Steppes" or another zone?
Which pet, is currently the best to solo with for xp? (I think I remember using Earth, all the time solo)
I know Pet defensive/combat AA's are a good thing to go for first when soloing, any other suggestions on AA's to gain?
Are the Epic 1.5/2.0 quests able to be solo'd (eventually), and if so, around which level?
I thank you in advance for your time,
Kahmi, 65 High Elf Magician
P.S.
A little off topic, but I also have a 65 High Elf Enchanter on the same account if anyone has any advice for him as well =).
