Hi all! Just had a question about gearing. I'm new to the server, and my first character is probably the worst to start off with, a warrior (currently level 12). On Live, from beginning of Luclin (when my parents decided I was old enough) to SoF, I played either a cleric or a bard, so I decided to try a more melee-based character. Yes, I know bards are melee, but that's not where they shine.
Anyway, my question is about where I should go with my gearing. You can see what I have now here: http://wiki.project1999.org/Magelo_Blue:Bidoof . All of the non-tattered and patchwork stuff is courtesy of the very nice and generous Jopp (forgive me if that's not your main's name, I'll plug you if you tell it to me). I also have a Whip of Strangulation I had bought cheap with spiderling silk money, which is in the bank for another level until I can duel wield.
So here's the question (finally!). With the weapons I have now, should I focus on getting better armor first, or should I get even better weapons? The Green Jade Broadsword is nice for when I solo, but I know I have no prayer holding aggro with a rogue or monk. Should I replace it and/or the Whip before going into gear? Is my squishiness more pressing? First time playing a tank class in EQ, so thoughts would be appreciated.
I currently have 192pp to my name (which is awesome, don't knock it), but this is also about where to go in the future as I get money. Is there anything I could get now that would be most beneficial? Is there something I should (realistically) save up for next? I appreciate any help.

Hey Bidoof. If you are looking for a decent place to level at 12 for some good $$, you can hit up Wisp Isle (AKA Kerra Isle). It's the first stop from the Qeynos Boat to Erudin (the island). Having no heals might be a bit rough, but with bind would and being careful to only pull 1 at a time, you should only take about 20% life per pull. They drop Burned out Lightstones, Lightstones, or Greater Lightstones. Destroy the BOL, sell the LS to the merchant, and save the GLS (yes they sell for 4pp at the merchant but don't do it!) Head to North Karana and turn them into the gypsies for some decent XP and sell the book you get from her for 9pp!
I farmed this spot as my Mage for about 3 hours and got approx. 430pp worth of GLS. Then saving up for full bronze or even fine steel should be decently easy. Also great xp and downtime should be fairly minimal. (My mage leveled all the way from 12-16 here)
(I know this didn't answer your question, but could be a nice way to make some $$ on the side)
