  Try this  link http://eq2.gamepressure.com/maps.asp?ID=137  it has helped me out. I do not know of any sites that have a step by step guide (I really would not want that anyway), but this site has maps of the zones and where most of the npc and mobs are.

   

  Hope it helps.

  I shoot for the curve... anything above that is gravy.

  All sound advice so far. I've started a Fury Fae and my gf has a Conjuror Fae. Thats a good combo too.

  At your level I'd be heading out to Butcherblock Mountains. Instances at your level are scattered everywhere. In Greater Faydark you have Crushbone keep. If you can get to the docks in Butcherblock you can also catch a boat to Thundering Steppes or Nektolus Forest. Both great zones for your level. Access to Antonica is from Thundering Steppes where you can find another instance that will keep you going for ages: Stormhold. Plus a few others if you look hard for them. You can travel to the Commonlands from Nektolus Forest, there you will find a zone called the Fallen Gate. Plenty of loot and quests in there too.

  Deities are a new mystery for us all. I'm still getting to grips with them myself, and not all my characters have one yet. Details on the various gods can be found here

  I'd recommend OGaming as well. They seem to have had a name change and altered they're site recently. It's a big scarce on EoF material atm, but it gets updated regularly.

  Ogaming and Allakhazam recently merged under Allakhazam's site.  Theres actually heaps of stuff from EoF on the site.  Just list quests by zone and scroll down to the bottom, thats where all the EoF quests are listed.

  I strongly suggest you check up on alka realm and ofc the offical EQ2 forum under quests.

  Remember to do the heritage quests .This are a great line of quests and certainly worth doing for the reward and it actually has a good story arc.

  Also since many of them are based in the older world its a good chance to explore the pre EoF world ,get exp and AA exp ,pick up collectables which are a good source of exp and loot too.

  Thats good advice, ill start doing some of the Heritage quests of the old world aswell (only did the level 17 on in Greater Faydark)

  With that duo you should try to do dungeons and blue/green ^^^ heorics instead of overland zones.   Most of the named in the top level of Stormhold (Antonica) are level 20, and the ones in the deepest levels go to 27/28. Crushbone keep is a couple levels higher. 

  
  

   

  
  

  You should be able to do well in SH within a couple levels if you get some good armor for your swash, and upgrade the Warden’s heals. You may want to get some practice in a place like Blackburrow (Antonica) first because named are tougher then normal ^^^ heroics, and pulling technique is very important. (Always use proximity aggro, and pull the mob to a safe spot before attacking. If you attack it while it’s close to friends it will yell and you will get multiple groups due to social aggro.)  

  
  

   

  
  

  In terms of quests you could be working on the return of the light HQ in Commonlands and starting the “dwarven work boots” HQ in Antonica. You also want to kill giants to start getting the giant language, which is needed to start “an axe from the past” HQ by the mid-late 20’s.  Also in the mid-late 20’s you can start looking for stiletto in the thundering steps for a manastone HQ starter, and doing some of the preliminary work on the fishbone earring and strange back rock HQ’s. I think there may be another late 20’s HQ in the EoF zones as well.

  
  

   

  
  

  The first deity quest is level 25, so you may want to consult the EQ2 forums for some good choices and find out where the quest starters are.

  
  

   

  
  

  You will also want to continue doing as many quests as you can before they grey out and no longer give AA. So you still want to do the overland zones for the quests.

  
  

   

  
  

  On top of all that, you will want to track down the legend and lore quest starters and get working on those in advance of the changes to master strikes. Needless to say you probably will not get to all these things because you will simple end up leveling past them before you are don’t but you can do a whole lot of them, especially with the duo you have.
