Returning player needs some help
I just returned to the game after being away for a long long time. I bought the newest expansion for the game and I am getting wrecked there ha. Where is a good place for me to farm for some gear to replace my outdated gear. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Others will make a case you don't need max swing but i'm extremely outspoken that the best bow in the game requires a lot of gold to utilize to it's full potential while any melee weapon can be reach that same speed without spending much gold at all.
That being said, any melee samp is better. You can reach full swing speed with an imbued suit that most crafters will make for free. A hatchet samp is very inexpensive to make at max swing speed and can farm high level mobs to low level bosses easily.
I'm also outspoken on my feelings about tamers. I highly prefer a discord tamer to a straight mage tamer. Your suit can be very low quality and still perform well because your pet is doing all the work. Spell damage increase items can reach extreme prices. An instrument will cost you the gold you find in one corpse.
I don't play a samp much so there are more qualified players that can tune your samp build.
Tamers i can do.
My exact discord tamer template:
110 mage
120 tame
120 lore
100 vet
120 music
120 discord
30 med
Cu Sidhe is an overall good go to pet. Keep in mind there are a few things pets can't fight and some things it takes far longer to kill. For the most part they're fantastic though. Most pets can be trained to 5 slots. Powerscrolls can be added to pets. Stats increased. Magics can be added. There's a ton to learn and read up on.
You REALLY need to find a group to mentor you. It's disheartening to see players get frustrated and leave because they feel unsuccessful. Finding what you like with the mentoring to tweak that template and you'll have endless fun.
I find good usable stamina gear rare in loot drops and impossible for a fresh returning player from the early 00's to buy from players. To me that leaves them at a handicap.
Of course after he gets better at gold making suiting won't be that big an issue.
Yes play what you like! We can only offer suggestions and opinions.
As @Urge said, get yourself a Cu... really any Cu will do. Practice with it. Level it up to 5 as an AI/Chivaly build. There are lots of guides to this. https://www.uo-cah.com/pet-training-101
You don't need to add scrolls for your first go round, just get all the resists, damage increases, regens, and stats in the right places. Once you get a good feel for how it works, you can spend some time getting a color you like with the better intensity Cold/Energy resists and train that one up with some power scrolls.
I am also an advocate of the disco-tamer and the template he suggested is almost identical to mine.
Build a cu or lesser guru to begin. Chesapeake may have some tamers that will help you.
