New to Red: Worth selling GBS to slightly gear couple toons?

[medievalerror]

Started up on Red a couple weeks ago. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Glowing Black Stone (basically did a lot of checking to see whether Pyzjin was up). Highest level toon is 21, FYI, so basically want to leverage plat in a way that can help me get up there in levels (gear) and/or put it toward blacksmithing.

What does an item like this sell for on Red, 2k-ish? (just guessing--that is what they used to go for on Blue, but with +10 SV magic maybe more on Red)? I want to buy some +45 HP rings for now, and maybe a Trak Tooth (or similarly decent rogue item without a proc) for Rogue. Currently I have a Green Chokidai Prod (11/30) and Harpoon of the Depths (8/25) for Rogue. Bard has mistmoore drums and gypsy princess lute, as well as Sainy's claw and dagger.

Is it worth starting up a tradeskill? I was thinking of working on Blacksmithing and making cultural armor sets eventually (dark elf cleric). Worth it? Could use money from GBS for this if so. Thanks for help, all!

I traded my first gbs for a manastone. Hope this helps!

[El Camacho]

If I were you, I would not invest in a tradeskill right. As for HP rings, their value will dimish as you fly through levels. Resist rings on the other hand will only increase in value.

Hint: check trade forum right now... might be a deal there you can make with someone for a nice melee item.

or keep it for your wizard, not a bad suggestion either.

Use it on wizzie and keep leveling up you don't need gear for PvP (won't happen ) or PvE (dumb bots) so just keep playing the game not wasting time on gear. There is no economy here so any item less than top tier is almost worthless or worth the cost of the jewels involved. You can make banded with like a 100pp investment but no one will buy it from u here.

On a non troll response, I know this may seem like an odd answer but forget about gear and just get to level 50 and a guild will pick you up and help you out tremendously with gear. If you like the solo game and want to build your army make a pet class and farm hill giants/seafuries, Cash camps like GBS can be ehhh because the economy is up and down and sometimes its hard to find buyers.

Sorry about the Trolls friend, welcome to Red!

Honestly, a 2k Boost to your bank would be pretty big as a leveling character. You may regret the sale later on if you ever roll an INT caster since GBS is an amazing Red item.

Tradeskills are fun, but there's very little market for the products they produce on Red. I do still run into nearly nude lowbies and it's always a feel-good to whip up some banded or cured silk armor for them. Handy for the Coldain Prayer Shawl Questline later on too!

Also you mention Dark Elf Cultural armor. NOTE: Cultural armor is not active on Red server, so if that's why you're looking at blacksmithing then be aware.

See you out there!

Hey OP if you're interested in selling it, send me a PM ^^

If you're playing an int caster (or planning to) then keep it and aim for 130ish MR, you'll need it :)

What guild will take you at 50? Most guilds I hear about want 60.

Clear evidence that you don't play here... All of the guilds on Red recruit at 46

[Gustoo]

Confirmed

[Sirban]

Do yourself a favor and delete your characters, then uninstall everquest

[mickmoranis]

red is a server best leveled while just collecting loot you pick up along the way, enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played, alone with nobody else except for everyone who lost out in some zone trying to down 17 year old content but not able to.

[Gustoo]

A lot of good non troll posts.

1. Don't visit forums
2. Don't think about gear except to look into quests or research junk you should.be doing
3. Cruise and have good times
4. Keep all buffs on your characters at all times.
5. Choose one toon don't level 10 at a time.

[mickmoranis]

6. dont play on red

well... you caught me...

Except that within the last month, I was told not until I hit 60 by Apex in game.

Wouldn't join T-Dome because they house Fandungo, champion of heroin. Fuck that noise.

Azzar I don't know who you are but if you need help with anything let me know. I know you don't think it's worthwhile to try to be helpful but I don't need drugs to try to help guys out I just like to be a good guy.

Sanctuary and TDome will take you at whatever level honestly. Apex might be 60? Epidemic is 46+ for whatever reason. I guess so they look serious.

Tide and Epidemic have teeth and hygiene requirements:

Europe is so expensive if you're poor your probably playing emulated free games with 12 people. Just saying.

Don't know why you think that... but I will confirm that cultural armor is active and well on Red. I have personally created high elf, human, and dark elf armors.

OP, you are probably better off making a caster and using the GBS, like others have said. Tradeskilling can be hard to turn a profit here, simply because not enough buyers. However, as a caster you will have access to the Research tradeskill, which in fact does turn a profit because most people are too lazy to raise their own research. I went down the cultural tradeskill path, and it's LONG and won't pay off for a long time, if ever. I like to tradeskill though, and used research to fund my other skills. The main problem with cultural is that you MUST have a 49 chanter to enchant the bars, however you also need at least a 29th priest to imbue the stones, not to mention the tempers can be a pain to make.

[El Camacho]

Hope my advice paid off and you got that haste item?

Play what you want and things will work out. Most people are pretty cool here and help out.

[medievalerror]

Advice was very helpful, all--did indeed get that haste item =D

[AzzarTheGod]

He is some overly pale boy who pretends he is black.

I guess if all you do is get dominated in EQ pvp no matter how hard you try, it wears on your mind. At least if you are as weak minded as this clown.

i used to DDT this guys head into a toilet bowl with shit in it back in the day.

[Tassador]

I traded my first gbs for a mana stone and now that manastone is priceless and gbs worth 2k if you ever find a buyer.

[Gustoo]

There was never a time on red when someone would make that trade unless he was your pal and hooking it up.
