If you had around 45k to spend...

[Indecisive]

Would you focus on one character? Or spread it out around a couple/few/many characters?

I'm looking for a fresh start and could really use some ideas. Necro, monk and bard are the only classes I want to avoid. Necro because that's the character I'm getting rid of, monk because I hate having to pull every group, and bard because... even if it's my favorite class, I get drained after an hour or two. You never really get a break, and on live I always felt super rusty if I wasn't playing him almost exclusively.

[bigjeff100]

I've invested in 3 characters. A 60 Druid/ 56 Warrior/ 31 SK. After all is said and done, I wish i woulda skipped the warrior and gone all in on the SK.. He's so much fun. Gives me the option of grouping and soloing. Which is great for my casualness. With 45k, he'd be a blast to gear up man!

My vote- SK!

[Legidias]

A fungi on a fungi-able class

[Lurgort/Sseri]

45k is an interesting number, if you decide on a melee, all in on easy to re-sell items in case you change your mind later. Stuff like a RBG for haste, 2x SCW, a few good weapons for the price, HP gear., nice bang/buck armorpieces like crystal chitin and PSC.

Something like the above on a Ranger would be pretty cool!

What are your end goals for a char? Do you want to excel in raid, group, solo, etc? You want to have that figured out because 51+ is when the real grind starts and your class gets more defined. It's hard to recommend a setup without knowing those things.

I'd like to do some raiding, but I've no intention on joining Aftermath or a guild like that. Something and somewhere I could get an epic before Pantheon and not have to batphone, basically. I'd like to be able to group as well, but I don't care if I'm first picked - I just want to be able to do it with a modicum of consistency.

I saw SK and Ranger above, and I've always been interested in both. I've played a lot of casters but not many melee, outside of bard.

[Plowyabeastlord]

Mage. You’ll never get epic but very underrated class

[Crede]

I'd probably go SK over Ranger. You'll have a much better soloing experience, not to mention a more well defined group role. Raidwise ranger will probably be more fun in the end when you get a whole shitload of gear, but doesn't sound like you want to go that route. Also, I found SK spells way more enjoyable than ranger. I'd take FD over pretty much any spell a ranger has.

I went iksar SK personally for Regen, AC, and most importantly I think they look the best in Velious plate. Also Greenmist is a nice perk if you want to skip the normal SK epic. But you really can't go wrong with any of the races.

[Pint]

Buy a fungi

[aaezil]

Fungus covered scale tunic and some 100pp weapons. Next up haste

[DiogenesThaDogg]

I'd buy a fungi 2 months ago.

[DMN]

Fungi tunic+ shaman. The tunic will help you get through the doldrums of 1-34. Grab a poison wind censer too, for the same reason. On the plus side they both make excellent twink gear for a variety of classes.

Edit: ya it looks like fungi tunic has gone up. Maybe instead a rogue if you want to group a lot or an enchanter if you want to roll another caster . Might feel bit too much like the necro without safety nets in certain level ranges though.

[FatherSioux]

I'd throw it at a chunk of rural land that has some elevation change, some type of water, prefer a stream and a pond. To inevitable build a home on and move, but I would like to get the land ready to live on and get the land scoped out.

[Legidias]

But what if someone comes up to you and tells you its manifest destiny that the land belongs to them?

[Indecisive]

At least according to the wiki and p99market, fungi's are going for 55 - 60k. I couldn't get one at my budget. When did they start going up so high? I don't remember them being that expensive when I first joined the server a couple years ago.

Looking over some guides and posts between ranger and sk, both seem really fun. Ranger seems to have a bit more flexibility though, which I really like. If I were to choose one of them, should I dump everything I've got into it? Would I notice that big of a difference if I cut off maybe 10k for another alt?

[momotion]

Shaman need 200k a least to be considered twink ,, I would roll Druid and have return on my invest asap,Druid is money make , solo/group very well if twink,port power level like no one, charm in kael for free armors,

45k is low for todays plats.... Make wise choice , maybe enchanter

I'd certainly go with the SK and I'd say to the contrary that SKs are more versatile, with more varied roles/functions, both soloing and grouping. i'd personally focus on getting items that you can pass off to a good assortment of other classes, in case you get burnt out on it and wnat to play something else, then you have a bunch of gear ready to go.

[momotion]

Fungi was 80k to 40k and now 55k, best bet to get one cheap is farm and buy off winner ,
Don't get me wrong ,45k is a lot of money but it only 1 high end item , you should think something around 20k piece that having fungi and banded on your shaman idk , maybe ikky tunic + decent stuff shrug

You really think so? I don't mean this in an argumentative way, I'm genuinely curious. With rangers being part druid with all their little tricks, it had always been my understanding that their flexibility was kind of both their blessing and curse. I thought Sk's were a little more straightforward. But I've never played either in this era, so I've only got a cursory level understanding of what they can do.

Either way, I definitely plan to get the RBG that was suggested earlier. Seems like it holds its value pretty well, and would be super useful for any other melee I might roll.

[kjs86z]

edit: if you ever want to solo, ignore this post

You could consider a rogue.

Highly desired raid class, full epic MQ is like 30k. Buy a Sebilite Croaking Dirk for your offhand and your weapons are "done" until 60.

Take the other 12-13k and get some haste (Silver Chitin Hand Wraps / Flowing Black Silk Sash), +hp rings, some basic STR or HP gear using this:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Rogue_Equipment

Go through each slot, sort it by STR, find cheap items (thinking stuff like 2x orc fang or diamondine earring, 2x tar goo strands, etc).

Spend 1-55 along the XP superhighway. Be that rogue that scoops up a good portion of trash cash. At 55 you'll get double backstab and will be desired in good cash camps.

Upgrade your haste to something nutty once you farm up.

You're ready for the raid game.

[momotion]

+1 at Kjs86z finally someone with sum judgement , rogue is just the best for bucks, every grp you join has insane dps + it the must have class in sebilis (fat leets)

OP didnt said if prefer melee or caster , he just shoot bunch of classes, but druid/rogue is the one i would pick

[bigjeff100]

I'd pick SK.. Ranger i think is gonna take a lot of money to compete with top DPS. SK has a lot of fun tools still.

-Shadowstep to get through some locked doors.
-FD is amazing if you are a busy man at home.
-Both forms of invis is awesome.
-Undead spells come in handy way more than animal or banish summoned spells in the ranger/druid spellbooks.
-You get a pet, even though he sucks.
-Super easy to get agro with SK without the stress of weapons warriors have to deal with.
-Greenmist is a great plan b if you can't dedicate to the SK epic
-Self only DMF is exciting
-Shroud of undeath is something to look forward to!
-Love those dot snares too!
-Not a lot of SK's make it to end game, which gives you a great shot at getting some good gear!!
-Great choices of races to choose from as well!

[Lurgort/Sseri]

Rogue may be a great choice on paper, but all you're doing is one of the following tasks:

1. Autoattack & Backstabbing
2. Sneak/Hiding & Corpse Recovery
3. Hiding to Evade your built-up aggro, then back to stabbing
4. Opening doors
5. Wowing people that you're yet another twink Rogue

You seem to want a variety of things you can do, you'll be either staring at mob rear-ends each session or recovering corpses during the insanity that is P99 Raid-game.
SK or Ranger would be way more engaging than a Rogue!

Ranger also seems like a great choice on paper, but all you're doing is one of the following tasks:

Yeah, hybrids sound like a lot more fun. I know going in my dps would be far lower, but I think I'd have a lot more fun with a ranger/sk. I'm just really torn between the two at this point. SK seems like easier groups, but also a bit more obligation (harder to replace the tank if something comes up). And ranger epic seems doable as a filthy casual without dedicating years to the pursuit, which is a nice plus.

I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone. Momotion had a good idea about a druid, so thinking of shaving off 5-10kish and rolling a porter as well. I know I could spend a less, but then I don't look as cool with my FashionQuest, which is half the fun.

[DMN]

You can solo all the way 50-60 quite effectively killing mostly guards if you really want to. i'd still want an SK in rogue groups to hold aggro over a war. And is potential puller, too, in some group comps.

If you're toying between Ranger and SK, just go SK.

Get some bare bones gear and save up the rest of the way for that Fungi.

[jolanar]

Buy a fungi

This if melee or shaman. The most stupidly overpowered item you can get if you can equip it.

FashionQuest is the true end-game. Also, easy / cheap fashion: Brown Chitin BP, Black Chitin Leggings, find out what else matches!

With 40k, you could do something like this:

ARMOR:

RBG: 17-18k
2x SCW: 8-8.5k, don't pay 5k per
Pair of 6 AC/65 HP rings: 900pp
65 HP/65 MP Neck: 900-1000pp
Crystal Spider Eyes: 1000pp
PSC: 1.5-1.8k
[SK] Darkforge for fashion or Crystal Chitin for Boots, Arms, Hands, Legs, Idol of the Thorned for Range since you pull with spells or clickies on a SK

[Ranger] Black Chitin Legs, Tolan's Arms, Boots, Hands, Bracer

WEAPONS:

[SK]: Atramentous Shield, Ebon Mace, Deathbringer's Rod, Noctivagant Blade, A Dark Reaver or Nathsar Greatsword

[Ranger]: Lupine Dagger, Jade Mace, Lamentation, Woodsman's Staff, Silver Swiftblade, 30/40 Velium Bow

Have time on my hands, and invested in your thread already, so here's some ideas for you to consider.
EDIT: Or Fungi Tunic. Obviously a must-have...

[Jimjam]

LIGHTNING SWORDS

That's his cardiac defibrillator kit, you monster!

[Obeast44]

This if melee or shaman. The most stupidly overpowered item you can get if you can equip it.

This. Fungi+Shaman....Troll (Innoruuk God for the clicky snare neck and regen)/ Ogre only

[Legidias]

This will take some faction work, but druid + velious BP (thurg is cheap) is pretty much a group fungi at lvl 5.

[enjchanter]

Mage. You’ll never get epic but very underrated class

[Indecisive]

@Lurgort/Sseri Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Great list, and really lets me know what I should be looking for. Kind of excited to roll a true melee in classic.

@Legidias You know what's kind of funny is, that idea was partially what prompted me to make this thread. I don't have many friends on the server though, since I spent most of my time soloing on a necro. So coldain factioning at a really low level felt almost impossible to me. Might try this at a later date, though!

[Legidias]

If you can get a lvl 5 druid to Kael, just park them there to tag statue / aow kills and youll get high enough if youre patient

Upgrade your haste to something nutty once you farm up.

Only note I would make is once you hit 46 your epic will be your haste item, so no need to get "something nutty" once you "farm up".

[Indecisive]

... Well shit, that changes everything. I was thinking of the thurg armor originally, didn't even think about trying for SS. Thank you so much! This is fantastic. Going to use my necros bone chips to get to 14 or so and head over to Kael. So glad I made this thread.

Thanks for all the advice guys, was incredibly helpful. Going to re-roll to druid, get my bp, and port/PL my way into some plat for an sk/ranger later on.

But he';s already got a high level necro.... well, I'm guessing he's high level since he has 45k. Seems strange if true. Necro is probablybetter power level'r in the 30+ than a druid is.

[Jimjam]

Why would you spend 45k to gear a Druid so you can raise the 45k requires to get a fungi for a melee?

because the Druid could keep generating 45k again and again given enough time and patience

It's going to take you like two thousand ports to break even.

[Indecisive]

Druid checks all the boxes of what I really wanted. It's what I had in mind when I made this thread originally, but thurg BP didn't seem possible (for me), and I didn't even think I could try for SS. I'll never replace it, the clicky would be incredibly useful, and would allow me to heal reasonably well for a long time. Epic is super doable for a casual, I can port everywhere, solo, etc.

Plus, I could make the plat back way easier on a druid than a ranger or SK. So when I'm ready to roll an alt, I've got a path I can follow and a character that can get me there.

Druids also win FashionQuest. So there's that, too.

[Phenyo]

didnt read any of the thread but fungi

[PieOats]

As much as it pains me to say it, the hobbit is right.

*grumbles in annoyance*

A-

*pauses and swallows readying himself for the words*

Druid-

*grimaces fiercely smacking his lips as if trying to rid his mouth of an unpleasant taste*

...is a fine investment indeed.


*exhales sharply and signals his sincerity, with a slow reluctant nod.*

[Twochain]

I know you said not monk....

But monk.

Leveling an iksar monk with a fungi is fun. Really fun. All other monk gear is pretty cheap. You'll be the most OP melee class in the game. Besides maybe a BiS warrior.You can solo to 60. You can kill 4 blue mobs at a time up until level 30. You can group. You can do great melee dps. You can tank. You can Feign Death and afk whenever you want wherever you want.

The World Is Yours. IF you're a monk

NGL tho, leveling a super twink troll SK was probably the most fun 1-35 experience. SK's are just fucking terrible end game, unless you wanna do 8 dps and be the best group tank, shy away.

[PieOats]

I'd finance the adventures of a young dwarf, most likely a rogue if it were my 45k.

[Kaedain]

ranger tigerraptor gear is right there as far as the monk black panther armor, cheap and very stated out

[Hrothgar]

Having twinked a ranger, a monk, a warrior, and now an SK, I'm having the most fun on the SK.

Monk is dope, but there's a bazillion iksar monks on p99. You're not REALLY in demand unless you've got 1mpp in monk gear for fancypants pulling, like orb, bracer, holgresh beads, etc. but it's still fun to play and melt stuff doing dungeon crawls with a shaman - a monk's best friend. I lack the monk skills to be considered a 'good' monk without all the toys, so I dropped him just before epic.

I got my epic on Ranger, which was coo, but Ranger gets a bit frustrating in any dungeon that matters because the 'versatility' of a Ranger is really lost indoors. They are super fun, pretty good dps, and not really overabundant (like the monk). Tracking is cool, esp for earning casual DKP or farming certain mobs. If you can get BFG and Haste cloak from Sky, ranger would be SUPER fun, but that's a time sink if you've got a bunch of alts (like me). I also like seeing dank Critical Hits, which happens often 50+ on ranger.

Warrior - super fun, super reliant on groups, super reliant on tons of gear and time. A badass warrior, as many will tell you, is, like, the ultimate badass. Aside from Detoxx, a monk (?), who hit 7k hp apparently.

SK - The split-pulling abilities are there, indoors and out, albeit not as efficient as Monk or Ranger. The tanking abilities are there, obv not as efficient as end-game raider Warriors, but again, that's not my daily play. I also don't feel like I NEED TOYS, really, like I do on ranger and monk and warrior. Snap aggro, there. Snare, there. FD, there. Pet for fun, there. Big hits with 2h weapons, there. Solid ratio 1h weapons, there (but no DW). Sword-and-board looks, there. Plate class baddassery, there. Fairly simple (though kinda shit) epic, there. Competition for knight-specific raid loot, not as gnarly as monk or caster loot.

Plus, you're a dark knight.

Mage with a Thurgadin robe (~25k-30k)
Clicky 24-25 PT DS from lvl 1 is every bit as powerful as a Fungi. Ideally you find a duo/trio as your pet will eat half exp when solo. There isn't much else to buy a mage that matters. Perhaps jboots (5k), burnt wood staff (5k) with the rest or just value INT gear

[Wallicker]

Thurg pants, thurg robe, burnt wood staff

Why? Let's see.

SKs can wear plate
More in demand in groups
Velious is geared towards melee if you decide to raid so way cooler upgrades
Sks getting on war dmg table soon
2h bonus coming soon
Greenmist if ya want an easier epic
Can pull/offtank on raids vs twitch
Death peace which necros don't get
Access to Ogre/Troll
Rare factor unlike the million necros out there

Plenty of reasons

[Quinas]

If you can get a lvl 5 druid to Kael, just park them there to tag statue / aow kills and youll get high enough if youre patient

Explain?

[Lurgort/Sseri]

Explain?

Spreadsheet-quest Statue of Rallos Zek's time-of-death, log in during next window and do a bunch of other probably more important than EQ things until Statue pops, wait til Statue is at 10% health and the raid killing it isn't wiping before casting a spell for an easy +500 CoV faction. If another guild or the raid force who just killed Statue is doing Avatar of War, repeat the process and that's +1000 CoV faction within ~30 minutes.

Thought you had to be lvl 5 to get them. Could be wrong. Either way ya they can all be clicked. The wizard one is shit. You see plenty of clerics spamming legs. Best 2 clicks are druid Group regrowth or mage DS one IMO

You have to be lvl 5 to zone into kael to loot the robe

robe can be MQed, so techincally you can get Thurgadin at lvl 1
Lvl 5 though for skyshrine though of course as you have to pass through kael

Spreadsheet-quest Statue of Rallos Zek's time-of-death, log in during next window and do a bunch of other probably more important than EQ things until Statue pops, wait til Statue is at 10% health and the raid killing it isn't wiping before casting a spell for an easy +500 CoV faction. If another guild or the raid force who just killed Statue is doing Avatar of War, repeat the process and that's +1000 CoV faction within ~30 minutes.

And then do SS armour quests at Level 5?

Sure. Looter of the item hands Skyshrine raw armor piece in first, then receiver hands in three gems, unstacked: results in completed armorpiece for the person who handed gems in.
Both characters need to be Ally, of course.

Basically, the first hand-in flags NPC as ready for remaining items to complete your quest/armorpiece, and then the reward is dispatched to whoever hands in the missing pieces.

Obviously you'd pay looters of Skyshrine armorpieces a sum of money.

I put the Thurg robe legs on a lvl 5ish mage...it was probably the most OP and yet boring thing I have ever done on P99.

Robe and Legs? I understand the DS being OP, but is burnout III really OP at level 5 or am I missing something?

Well it's a good amount haste, and they were cheap enough ;)

[Wallicker]

It’s like having an extra half a pet so yeah

[Wallicker]

Robe is definitely more OP as you can put damage pet easy with one or two nukes at low lvls
