I have to say I love the newbie zone. The fact you can walk into a room with dragons and live (no aggros). The fact you can do simple quests in a controlled area (internal zone quests). And the fact that the exp/layout and access to eq is realistic make it fantastic. I wish the normal mud allowed fo...

The easiest thing to solving the low end quests is to get the spell "locate object" and cast it multiple times (daytime is best). Casting after reboots is especially wise.
