Which classes can 50k gear out well

[Safon]

Trying to get a friend to play, but he insists on having a well geared character from day 1. Otherwise, he didn't specify much preference besides slightly favouring a melee class

Thoughts? Thanks in advance

it doesnt sound like your friend will stay very long on the server with that mentality tbh, but a fungi tunic sounds like something you should get

[Furniture]

fungi tunic plus a decent melee weapon should do the trick, would be good for any melee class or a shaman

[orsk]

if he plays a rogue you can get the epic MQ for 30-40k

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Fully? Anything but melee, honestly. Enchanters can pick up a fantastic set of hp / charisma pieces barring uber expensive pieces (NOS, IP, mana robe, bcg, etc etc). Shaman will have a markedly worse experience without a fungi, but if you can buy a fungi / jbb / pre-46 weapon (GFG a good choice).

Rogue is somewhat of an option, epic being your primary weapon / haste, CSS being a cheap offhand...

What i'm trying to say is, avoid pal / sk / monk / war.

Well you can get a great set of int/wis caster gear for 10-20k obviously. Casters also level a lot faster and easier than melee anyway.

If he has his heart set on a melee get him a FBSS+Fungi (50k) and then go cheap on everything else. Contrary to what Heallun said I think a warrior with FBSS+Fungi+Lamentations/Staff of Battle+Crafted/other cheap crap is going to be very effective up to 40+ without any upgrades. For a monk substitute the Lamentations with a IFS or a Wu's Quivering Staff if you are really cheap.

dorf cultural armor complete set for like 10kish some weapons and a fungi would get any melee up to kickass level

[Wolfgang]

any caster, you dont need gear.

This x100

50k will get you a fungi so I'd say you can gear anything well for 50k.
