Wow, thank you for that post. A lot of fantastic information.

I'm currently a level 35 erudite paladin, and leveling somewhat casually. About a level a week seems to be the norm, so I should be approaching Planes level by early summer sometime, give or take. I'm currently unguilded, so if I get to where I want to raid, I will obviously change that.

I'm currently using +2 STA earrings, which is my number one priority to upgrade, most likely to diamondine earrings though I may look into black sapphire electrum ones instead. Clearly an upgrade there would be money well spent. My cloak could use a boost as well, so I may look into the hooded black cloak you mentioned. Just looked it up on the wiki, and I think it would do quite nicely and wouldn't break the bank. Generally speaking, +HP items seem to be the way to go, so I'll be taking a closer look at those.

The game-changing items you mentioned are definitely something I'm going to try and plan ahead/save up for. I looked into the Fiery Avenger for when I get closer to 50. Didn't realize how easy it would be to obtain if you buy the Book of Scale from someone (not sure how hard this Miragul character is though). Sounds like being an erudite will help with that quest, and it will be a lot more achievable than I expected. The Girdle of Faith sounds pretty fantastic as well. 41% haste is huge! The Deepwater BP would probably be the last of those items I'd go after just because it will be nerfed eventually.

Anyway, thanks again for the great response. I think I'm starting to figure this stuff out!

well most of that last post is stuff you are not going to get unless you are raiding quite frequently or have alot of plat. a cheap paladin weapon with 3/4 ratio is baton of faith. in fact i have one i'll give to you if you want it just send me a PM. you can go to trak's teeth and hang out if someone is doing the forager/hunter cycle and get a hangman's noose for free. for earrings diamondine are pretty good and you can't go wrong with the HBC like you mentioned. you can also pick up deepwater armor pretty cheap like the boots/helm/bracer/gaunts/arms.
