Newb Stuff To Do

This is a list of stuff that I would consider 'gameplay' things to do.

These lists are super 'under development' right now, check back in awhile.

Lowbie

As a Lowbie, if you're sick of grinding levels, these areas offer a bit more gameplay or story elements for some decent eq/stuff, perhaps a task to collect and craft something, area puzzles, mini-quests, or just a little story, generally just some 'things to do' that you might find more engaging than level grinding.

This list is by far not exhaustive. I think these are just the most common, good, 'gameplay' things for a new person to experience.
