Quest Reward ~ Gear

[Bethsheeba]

Greetings all ~ I am exploring the notion of playing SoD and have a question.

The last I played EQ on a live server I was very disappointed that the quest rewards/gear awarded for the beginning quest lines no longer felt valid compared to the gear that could be farmed by standing around killing xyz mobs. It felt like the starting area quests and content were in dire need of tlc. I first played back before Luclin went live (a long long time ago) and well... when I poked my head in with hopes of reliving the wonder and fun I once knew ....but was disappointed :-=/

So ~ before I go through the motions of reinstalling etc etc... I thought I'd head to your forums and look around

I've always been big on questing ~ which is of course more fun if it feels like the reward feels worth while !

Looking forward to your reply

you start out naked and build up from there. there is no crude defiant type armor world dropping.
TS items are relevant. And a lot of people do/did these, which like all raid bosses, are much more fun in context. Adepts

Adept stuff also improves with xp (a lot of xp)

There is also a ton of newbie level quests, most of wich have had the exp code added to them. Later (30+) you can do your classes 2 starfall quests, which have exp code, and around 45-50, you can start your classes 2 thurg quests.
Tradeskills are viable the whole way though, and the smithing/tailoring armor will last through several raid tiers. Plat diamond pearl rings/ears/neck (late jc items), will be needed for the resists while raiding, for a long time.
