Non-Twink Iksar SK

[MrBlu]

As my first character I decided on an Iksar Shadowknight and been having a blast so far. I just got level 9 and getting to the point where it seems gear is getting to be important. When I group in FoB the majority of other players are twinked out and I want to remain competitive with other players. Can anyone offer some advice on where I should be looking for some decent weapons/shield that I can attain via quest or drops? Right now I found a vendor in cab that was selling weapons and I bought a plain old "Long Sword" and a "Spear" that I'm going to experiment with.

Advice on armour is welcome too, but I am less worried about that as I have managed to purchase a couple pieces of banded mail. I have around 70 plat to work with if that helps too.

Yea, I know the combo of Iksar/SK is a rough one for a first but I'm enjoying it and it just feels right, so no "reroll a troll/ogre!" lol. Also I should add that I didn't get too far on EQ live back in the day, only a few months after Kunark was released probably and just a couple of characters in the 20's( I sucked) but Im glad to be playing again and pretty competent so yea.

Thanks in advance!
