Iksar Warrior gearing help

Hello, all. Ever since I started my first character on the server I knew that eventually I wanted to play an Iksar Warrior. I'm basically a p99 newb with very little knowledge about gearing characters, and I heard that warriors were quite gear dependent, so I made other classes (enchanter and now druid) to farm some plat for gear first.

Over the past month or so, I've farmed up about ~4k plat, and though it'd be awesome to keep farming until I can afford things for my warrior like the Fungi Tunic, I've been strongly considering just using the money I have now, and getting started on the character I'd really like to be playing.

I'd like to get gear for my level 1 that won't need to be replaced until much later on in the character's life. I also cannot afford more than ~4k total (willing to farm plat for a bit longer if there's gear that is worth it) Here are a few questions I have:

- Can anyone provide me with a theoretical "Best in Slot" list for an Iksar Warrior twink?

- Is anyone currently in possession of and willing to sell a set of gear for an Iksar Warrior twink worth ~4k or less?

-What do folks think of the Warrior entry of the 1k twink wiki page (http://wiki.project1999.com/Ravager'...uide#Warrior)? How many levels will it take for this set to become obsolete? Is this a better option than buying better gear for more plat from the start?

- For weapons, would it be better to go with SSoY from the start (using 1 with a shield or a Sarnak Warhammer until I can dual wield, when I would use 2x SSoY), or go with some combination of Obsidian Shards, Green Jade Broadswords, etc?

- Lastly, if you were going to spend around 4k plat on an Ikky Warrior alt, what pieces would you buy?

Any help is greatly appreciated, and sorry for the long post [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I hate to say it but "Best in Slot" is a far cry from ~4k to spend. If you're looking to get cheap armor that will last a while, I would say:
2x Orc fang earrings: ~400p
2x Platinum/Velium fire wedding rings: ~500p/1kp
2x Obsidian Shard: ~100p, to use until 30 when you switch to
2x Scorpikis Claw Impaler: ~600p
Runed Oak Bow: ~250p.

Leaves you with ~1.5kp left over to save/put towards other gear. Poor Iksars don't have the easy route of Crustacean shell armor (full suit for ~5k) or a lot of the more common gear floating around.

Warriors are really the #1 gear dependent class here on p99, twinking on a budget will force you to prioritize your purchases. Good luck!
