I don't exactly understand this approach. Why should a new player be able to purchase a cheap FBSS, Fungi, or manastone without considerable investment of time? These are high-end items. Savvy players will find ways to make money and buy them fairly quickly anyway.

At the same time, a newbie melee can buy a .5 ratio 1hander or .75 ratio 2hander for less than 250pp. There are tons of affordable items floating around that have been relatively untouched by the last several months of inflation... which isn't exactly daunting for new players.

I had to sell one of my characters to get my first fungi. Shit isn't supposed to be cheap or free. I do wish they were more reasonably priced but I don't think it warrants a non-classic solution.
