Gear goals for a (Green) Cleric

[Lunar_Havoc]

Started playing again for the first time since Green's launch and got my first character past level 5 since 2003. Been having a blast so far (level 9 now) and will probably be sticking around for a while but could use some input on what are realistic gear goals for a leveling (dwarf) cleric?

I've managed to do some bartering with bone chips & HQ pelt money to get a wraith bone hammer as suggested in EC chat and I'm looking for more gear to seek out in that sort of dirt-cheap-but-effective range. I have a partial set of small banded and a couple of other WIS items that were cheap/being given away but still lots of empty slots.

On a similar note, how much suffering am I in for if I go down the cultural armor crafting route? The dwarf plate sounds badass.

Crafting in EQ is best left for max level when you have a bankroll.

250 MR
over 200 wisdom

Then,..
over 200 disease/poison

Welcome to the wild life to main cleric

in HoT you should not need fire/cold resist, unless you expect adds or trouble.

Don't clerics get clicky disease/poison cures?

Making dr/pr kinda less important?

I haven't done this quest or played a cleric on P99, but on my eventual dwarf alt I plan on farming:

Seems like a good way to gain a set of bronze/blacked iron and spell plat.

For a decent off-hand that you could quest pretty early on: https://wiki.project1999.com/Testament_of_Vanear_Quest

Two of these rings would be a nice boost early on and not too expensive: https://wiki.project1999.com/Moonstone_Ring

I usually start with a:

Super easy quest - soloable at level 1 or 2. I typically wait until 5 so I can gate back to my starting area since the turn-in is in qeynos.

agreed

Check out the pre-planar stuff on this list on the wiki to get some ideas for cheap decent gear: https://wiki.project1999.com/Cleric#Gearing

Don't do that shield. The one from SK. No matter what. Forget Grimrot exists, move on. That camp causes people to leave the game.

[Danth]

I agree, Bellamy. Years ago it used to be a nice quest to do, but not anymore. I personally know three people who did the Aegis of Life quest since the spawn rate nerf, and all three quit the game shortly after completing it. It's a nice item but not nearly nice enough to warrant the average length of the camp these days.

level 10 camp solo in qeynos +3 wis back slot

level 13-19 group in crushbone +3 wis shoulders slot

neither of these are on the pre-planar cleric guide (there are better options later, but these are obtainable now with just a little elbow grease)
