I have a few Q's. I tried looking around for some of the answers and didnt find them, so here I am posting, cause I like to play my games to the best of my ability, and that starts with research.
1. What would you guys recommend for a starter profession?? Funds aren't deep obviously being new. I posted this question elsewhere and I received one answer, Jewelcrafting. I'd def like some more opinions.
2. Rogue AA's. Should I dwelve into Agil first to pick up WtP? I went to Str first, I think I see my first respec coming >.>
EDIT: I'm a lv 15 Zarnak if that matters. EQ2map, check. TD timeline, check. Anything else >.>
3. I started in TD, Zarnak(yea yea I know, rats own, im a noob for not rolling one  ) Any tips for this zone?
4. Anything else you guys can reccomend to make me the best Brig I can be!!
Thank you, all flames welcomed (I'm sure I'll get some, w/e it takes to become good at my class I'll take

1) Don't make a tradeskill to make money. Its a lot of time and money sink. In therm for money rewarder per hour of work. Farming Named and harvesting is a way bether.
That beeing said I went alchemy instead of jeweler and I am really happy with this choice. I buy the jewelry and adept3 I need from other player.
But a none alchemist rarely buy all of the potion,I can use in a single playing session.
2) For EXP grinding at lower lvl (wich mean mostly solo and a few grouping) I found that agi till WotP then rest in str was the way to go. thing die like if they where made of paper and in group, I must watch my aggro, so going full str wouldn't improved my DPS in group.
But I found that going for safe house then Sta line is the way to go if you want to farm in dungeon or solo heritage quest.
3) Do all the TD quest. Those item will serve you in you mids 30's if you don,t buy mastercrafted item from broker.
4) Open any "not to easy fight" with all of your debuff. Then learn how to keep the mob stuned for the next 10sec. Then if he isn,t dead (wich won't hapen often at your lvl). Rince and repeate.
never use the ruse line while grouping (noob brigand forget its grab aggro out of the tank).
As a poor brigand going the wis line and buying only 1mastercrafted weapon might be an option.
But this brigand beeing my highest lvl I was able to be in fully mastercrafted gear and adept3 spell by lvl 22. So I guess it is not to hard.
