Recently returned to EQ2 and TS

[Sapphiremagus]

I played the trial a while back (a year or so) and didn't stick with it. I'm returning now and have a couple of questions:1) Is it worth trying to sell T1 crafted items? I understand this may be somewhat server dependent, but thought there might be some overall thoughts behind it.2) Are there any ettiquette type issues I should avoid starting out? I really don't want to be "that guy" <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Thanks!

<p>1) People go through T1 (levels 1-9) so fast that I honestly don't see any market for T1 crafted items. Below level 10 everyone who crafts can make everything craftable at those levels.</p><p>2) Although no one "owns" harvesting nodes, the accepted behavior is that if someone is already harvesting you don't join them.</p>

When in a group, don't attack anything by yourself. Let the tank pull.Don't click on anything when in a raid. That includes doors and NPCs.Don't be a gnome. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

With the ne appearance slots, the lower tier armors (even T1) may find buyers the did not have before.

Also on the guys that sell the TS books, for T1 and only T1 they sale both Advanced(Rare) and Essentials(commin) books, as you can get the Essentials from the tutorial I would only buy the advanced.</p>
