Intro
Hello, I am making this post for my own personal reasons but thought it might be useful for others to have access to. It will hopefully compile all of the amazing guides written by a variety of awesome people. In addition, I will throw in some of my own thoughts and ideas in there as well. If you see a guide or something I should add to these please message me in game or just post it here.
Getting Started:
Arek's Beginner Guide
Gorg's Gearing Guide 1-80
Sturm's Noobie Guide
Progression:
Arek's Guide Tier 1-3 Kunark, Velious, and Luclin
Arek's Guide Tier 4 Planes of Power
Arek's Guide Tier 5 Gates of Discord
Gorg's Guide to GoD Progression
Arek's Guide Tier 6 Omens of War
Arek's Guide Tier 7 Custom Content
Gorg's Quick Guide to Abyss Content
Arek's Guide to Tier X TSS Flagging - This is its own sort of zone progression when zones ranging in strength from Tier 1-6 (maybe 7?). The immediate reward for doing this is one of the best charm augments in the game.
Tadaceace's Pazunia Bosses List
Progression Skipping:
Whisperings Informal TSS Flagging Guide
Trun/Auth's GoD Fast-Track
Quests:
Grease's Imperium Shawl Guide Note: This is as far as I know the Best in Slot shoulder item in game for any class once you hit shawl 8. Shawl 10 is not yet in the game
Zeller's Shawl Tongue Farming Locations
Arek's Guide to the Earring of Solstice You can frequently buy this item from traders in the bazaar.
Arek's Guide to Imperium Fury/Majiks Quests Note: You can buy the earring of solstice from another player. However, you *MUST* do the combine for the Bloodmetal Earring of Engagement yourself.
Arek's Guides to Epic 1.5 and 2.0 Epic 1.0 is done the same as live. Epics 2.5 and 3.0 are equivalent to the live 1.5/2.0. You may find class specific guides in class forums.
Gear Guides:
Tadaceace's Weapon Augment Guide Note: The Muddy Gem of Lifetapping and Veintapper's Stone are both very rare drops.
Arek's Staff of Prismatic Flux Guide Note: the best clicky resist debuff.
Mythrodin's Imperium's Intensification Item Guide Note: Best way to grind these is in the tower.
Grease's Starter Gear Guide
Hate's Fury Abyssal Augments Guide These augs are type 3 and are placed in Abyssal vis slot gear, or Pazunia non-vis gear. This is because Abyssal Augments do NOT have focus effects.
Gorg's Abyss Armor Guide
Arek's Essential Clickies Note the Shadowknight BP crafted from an Ornate Breastplate mold is an essential clicky for non-SK melee
Justsaiyan's Muddy Gem of Lifetapping Camping Guide Note as mentioned before this is a very rare drop.
Misc Guides:
Grease's Chat Filtering Options
Arnoc's Prestiging Guide
Grease's Dragon Raising Guide Will need roughly 5 million platinum minimum to begin, could take as much as 7 million for the first dragon.
Imperium's Wiki Useful Zone Locations
Mythrodin's Assault and Skirmish Guide This is where you obtain orum used to purchase v2 versions of Augs.
Zeraph's Guide to Gear Checklists This gives you an idea of what gear to have for what level of raiding along with where to obtain
Going Fast a Run Speed Comparison (stats checked using #mystats)

Oh God the Lag:
Picture
Tip 1: Set particle density to off on all 3 tabs (Spell/Tab/Player). It will reduce lag at the cost of pretty pixels.
Tip 2: use /hidec all routinely if not looting or expecting large numbers of mob corpses.
Pro Tips from a Scrub:
Halling EXP bonus IS a thing confirmed with in game testing and by Bupu. If you are grinding for a lot of AAs and not race changing to halfling you are leaving exp on the table. I don't have enough data to confirm the exact increase but live it was 5%. If you are grinding to 60k AAs at 5% you would get there at the same time as a non halfling hit 57k AA or a 3k aa difference. I am unable to confirm if the class exp bonus for Warrior or Rogue is still in game, but it is possible. If it was to be confirmed the most effective way to grind a large number of AA as a new player is to be a halfling warrior. And the most effective duo to start would be halfling warrior + healer (cleric or shaman) in my opinion.
Important Note on Tasks - your tax count maximum is 19. If you are full on tasks and try to accept another it will immediate fail. This can result in the loss of a daily quest or in other rare circumstances the inability to ever complete a quest. For this reason keep your task count low.
Well that is all for now. I will revisit this and add more of my own information as time allows. Thank you for taking the time to read this, thank the guide makers for being some awesome, and thanks to the developers for making one of the best EQEmu Servers I have ever played on. Lastly, thanks to this community, pretty much everyone is awesome that I've encountered.
