New SHam On Blue Gear Help?

[tagaa]

Hey im new to blue and was wondering what i can do to get some gear at my level=7. I have about 12 plat and i am farming inside of BB for fangs atm. Any more of advice would help. My name in game is tagaa

What i did around that level was kill the 2 rabid wolves / bear in qeynos hills and then turn in the pelts at the qeynos cleric guild. I think you get around 2 plat per turn in? I did this until I had about 100pp then I bought a full suit of banded. http://wiki.project1999.com/Rabid_Wolves

Ah nice ill have to try that. where did you buy the Actual armor from ?

East Commons is the major hub of commerce on this server. I would actually recommend buying a weapon instead of armor at your level. Assuming you're meleeing everything, having a solid weapon will make the process go by so much quicker. Not to mention that some weapons for even low prices can serve you into your 40s. One option that stands out to me is the Wraithbone Hammer which normally goes for 75-150 pp. 8/26 with +5 str and +2 wis. I'm sure there are even better options at the price of 75 pp-150 pp. IMO, choosing a wep over armor is also good because it will let you hunt wisps around 11-15 which is where you can make some solid cash.

True, a weapon would be a better buy, when I started the server was new and there wasn't much for sale so I used a fine steel spear until lvl 30 : D That said you can always do both if your willing to farm!

If you can make it to KC you could pickup quite a bit of no drop gear that will be rotting: Jarsath armor, Supple Scale Armband, and maybe even some JB Gaunts/Boots.

Is it pretty common for this stuff to be given out for rot loot? If so, I need to get my cleric over there.

Yes - supple scale and Jarsath leggings will be the two "rares".

Alrighty then! Might head over that way tonight.

once you can handle willowisps, farm them until your eyes bleed in NK and turn in lightstones/greater lightstones and sell the books.

at 18+, the goblins in perma drop ore that is super heavy but some of it vendors really well.

at 22+, I was able to kill the full sized mammoths in EF right outside of perma. they drop tusks that sell really well - again, super heavy, so lots of running to the shaman spell vendor to sell things, but it's nice having a vendor close by. Sometimes these would be camped but if you can figure out their spawn/pathing, its easy to to find a couple that aren't being killed. Otherwise you can revert back to killing goblins for the ore.

between those three, I can't tell you how many hours I put into farming, but it was the best plat I could find for the levels, and now that I'm 30+ I feel like I am extremely well geared for a non twink. I think the value of my gear totals to around 8-10k plat. if i could stomach it more I'd keep doing it until I could afford a haste item, but I'm sick of farming plat at this point and would prefer to just level up, since plat comes so much easier at the higher levels.
