>Well, I decided that since I was still a low-level (sort-of, 11th), I'd

>In 26 hours of play, I regained all 11 levels, and improved my faction

>For those of you interested, I started in Kelethin, had a friend hand me my
>eq back (full-banded armour, plus a lumberjack's cap, no jewelry, a combine
>long sword, Rukgus's sticker, and a Shiny Brass Shield that Talies had
>fought for to begin with. I didn't want to be "twinked" - I worked for (or
>payed hard-earned cash for) everything I have. No freebies.

>I stayed in the Kelethin newbie area for a while, collecting wolf pelts and
>spider silk to work on tailoring, and bone chips to sell to needy
>necros. Only died once until level 4, when I went cliff-jumping with a
>crazy druid - just to see what would happen (I died ;). At level 5, I gave
>up on orc-hunting - either I'd get jumped, and no one would help, or I'd
>have a nice yellow all alone, and someone would steal it. I headed for the
>(relative) peace of Steamfont. Stayed there until 8th, when I headed
>across the ocean to Misty Thicket (got bound in Rivervale, after 30 minutes
>of asking...) Hunted Goblins almost exclusively until 10th, when I started
>mixing in other stuff for experience (and because there were a lot of
>faction hunters out there significantly cutting down on the numbers of
>goblins.) BTW - Did you know that the Goblin Alchemist REALLY HURTS at
>level 10? *ouch*. Fortunately, a 49th level Necro killed
>him. Unfortunately, for any monks out there, a 9th level Cleric decided to
>take the ribcage and wear it. *sighs* Some people's children...
>In the process of gaining 11 levels, I've kept all of my combat skills and
>music skills maxed, and worked a little on baking, tailoring and
>smithing. All told, I've made over 125 pp of pure in-the-bank profit (not
>including purchases). Not a bad haul for one weekend.
