Ask in /ooc Can anyone camping spectres spare a
Scythe for a new player?
Then do /who and whisper everyone in zone if they can spare a Scythe.
Not a bronze scythe or rusty scythe.
Then ask them if you can sell scythes for them and keep 10-20% of the plat. Use that plat to buy cheap leather from an ogre merchant, less than ~1p per piece.
You can continue running scythes for people camping spectres and save up for some cheap East Commons gear. Advertise that service in ooc and send tells to people camping spectres.
While you wait for tells to run scythes, kill lizardmen for exp.
