What level are you? Paladin Ro armor isn't the most expensive things in the world and generally when you do see them being sold the prices are wildly all over the board because there aren't as many people who are looking to buy them which makes for some prime haggling if you're the charismatic type of person.

With that said, start looking into the sisters camp in Lesser Faydark for their weapons and gems they drop. If you spend a few levels at them you can actually make a legitimate amount of money. Certainly enough to buy quite a few pieces of your Ro armor.

Banded is a great option. It is cheap and is close in AC to FS.

Heck im only lvl 3, i started a week ago iv got like 4 lvl 3s nd 4s lol. Took me a while to decide on what i really wanted to play. Back when i played live i always wanted to play a dwarf paladin so i said to hell with xp penalties and gear dependence im playing a paladin. I've still got to sell these gloves on my ogre before i can start buying anything first anyways lol.

5/55 rings are the best bang for your buck

I have heard you can quest for your Ro armor pretty easily.

I believe Baton of faith is also a popular low cost weapon for Pallys.

When you hit level 12 go ahead and try to find groups doing Sisters in Lfay it's not only great xp but it will make you bank.

Will do, thx for advice everybody.

Rough road with choosing hybrid as first character! Happy hunting and welcome to the server though man! :)

If you are genuinely new, Ro armor sells for much more than you'll want to pay for it. Generally, pieces average about 500pp each. I'd advise you to try to snag some bronze armor, or banded, as they're pretty equal in terms of AC. Small Bronze is extremely plentiful on the server as it drops a lot in Unrest/Mistmoore. Large Bronze is definitely more rare.

Quest your Ro pieces when you can. The stuff that might require you to group up, such as Nightfall Giant Head or Kilij Plans, can usually be found in EC being sold. Greaves and Boots being your best pieces.

Good luck! I just gave a almost full set of bronze to another Dwarf Paladin a couple days ago. I think I got some small bronze boots in the bank if you want em. If I happen on some more while leveling in Mistmore, you can have em, but they're small pieces. You can message me in game if you see me.

EDIT: And yes, the 5/55hp rings are very important. Get them asap. Sword of Skyfire until level 20, then Baton of Faith at 20+. If you can save for a Sword of the Morning you can rock that out in group/tank situations. Paladin's are lucky in that some decent stuff is pretty cheap. :)
