New Druid Advice from the experts

[Faywind]

I'm glad that not getting that ring isn't going to really bite me in the ass, I was second guessing myself on buying gear. Also I still didn't have enough for it so the choice was pretty much made for me.

I went Human Druid of Tunare. Love the Surefall glade starting area. Did 25 wis and 5 sta as well. He is currently level 9 in Blackburrow, having a blast. Harmony is such a useful thing to have so early on in the game.

Notable items I got for myself (have 1k left to spend) include some things I just wanted because it looks really cool:

Brown chitin protector, black chiitn legs, golden efreeti boots, CC arms, CC circlet, CC gauntlets, 5/55 ac hp rings, crystalline belt, rygorr cloak, runed mithril bracers, and of course a glowing stone band for running around at night.

I still need shoulders, face, earrings and neck. I have 1k left for those but not in a rush.

Oh, forgot the best part! Rygorr shield as secondary, cool looking shield and my favorite item i got him was the Oakleaf Scimitar. He looks really cool, might be mistaken for a cleric as he looks like wearing full plate.

Anyways, really appreciate all the advice on this topic.

Cheers!
