what to do?

Hello everyone. This is my first post, and i would like to say up front that this forum is great. Everything you've always wanted to know about BG2 (but were afraid to ask) is right here.
Anyway, my question. I'm soloing a f/m/t right now. It's my first solo experience and i like it a lot. Will probably try another solo when i finish. I'm just starting out however, did the dungeon, the circus, the first part of the slavers and the tanner quests. What should i do know? I'm thinking windspear hills or De'arnise keep, maybe trademeet, but i'm not sure if i'm up to that. Being a multi i haven't reached a very high level jet. What would you advise? Any advise onsoloing a f/m/t/ is laso very welcome. Right now i'm just being each class some of the time, haven't found out the better synergies jet...Thanks

Welcome to GameBanshee.

Good, very easy, rewarding quests for lower levels:

Graveyard errands
Circus tent
Umar Hills errands (not the Temple Ruins)

Good quests for lower/mid levels:

Renal Bloodscalp/Mae'Var's errands
Trademeet
Druid Grove
De'Arnise Keep

F/M tips (I have no real Thief experience):

Clone! Mislead, Vhailor's Helm, Simulacrum... Extremely useful.
Don't bother with the Secret Word/Lower Resistance type of spells; just bash everything resistant to pieces.
Get the Robe of Vecna.
Try to cast one quick spell every six seconds in combat. Fill time in between with attacking. This way, you'll do both in the same round.
Skull Trap is your friend.

Thanks for the info. I was going to go to De'arnise keep, but i think i'll follow your advise and do umar hills first. I remember from my first tous of SOA that there's some easy experience to be had there, as you said. The rest of the suggestions i already did. I'm now caught up in the harpers/xzar quest, so i'm off to kill Premek or whatever his name is. Robe of Vecna will be my first buy when i get the cash....For now i go around with full plate, unless i need my thief/mage skills. More playing advise is always welcome...

@Kun-Tao: If you do a search, you might be able to find the journal of someone who has soloed thorugh with that class(es). Those are really helpful, as they describe in detail the course of their travels, and how they over came certain problems.

Pick pokets; Ribald has a very nice "free" ring o' regeneration.

You might consider f/m or t/m, as you will never reach the exhalted heightss of timestop ability even with tob installed.

t/m is also an uber munchkin class. Timestop, spiky traps and use any item!
