Question: Lumi Staff v. ES Arms

[mefdinkins]

Hello Everyone,

I'm leveling quickly and have reached 28 in only a short time on the server. I am a druid and have primarily solo-ed. I have taken advantage of the real-time auction tracker, which has allowed me to buy a lot of great wisdom items and get good deals. In every slot now I have a decent druid item.

So now I have a few questions on potential upgrades:

I am at the point now where upgrades, sometimes minor, are much more costly. I think that a few wis here and there would not be nearly as beneficial to my char as ES arms, or a Lumi Staff, even though their benefits won't vest until level 45/46 - when their effects become usable. So I've set my sights on only saving for Lumi Staff & ES arms.

So I'm wondering how much plat will I earn as I continue to level? It's hard to say now cause I'm constantly buying and selling items. If I save all my plat from now to 45/46 would I have enough to purchase Elder Spiritist's Vambraces and/or Luminescent Staff? Each one is being traded at around 5,000.

Assuming I can't purchase both at 45ish, which one should I try to buy first?

Thanks,
Mefdinkins
