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 for some decent eq, perhaps a puzzle, mini-quest, etc, that you might find more engaging than leveling.
I should add level requirements for these and put them in order low->high level. Right now this is in alphabetical order by area name.
