Good budget-gear for a Druid?

[falkun]

The bigger issue is I'm getting tired of seeing a new "how do you gear ____ class?" post by the same guy every couple days. We've answered them dutifully, and usually with links. You'd think by the 4th or 5th class the OP would learn how to do his own research.

Here is your general guide for how to gear ____ class:

1. Buy your character a pair of plat fire wedding rings.
2. Go to http://wiki.project1999.org/index.php/Main_Page
3. Select Equipment from the left side.
4. Select Equipment By Class from the top.
5. Select the appropriate class.
6. Select the inventory slot you would like to fill.
7. Find the stat you would like to raise, sort list by that stat.
8. Select items from left side of list, look at EC price chart to find items in your price range.
9. Go to EC, buy items from your shopping list.

General guidelines for gearing classes:

• Tanks (WAR/SHD/PAL): AC > HP > STA > DEX > STR
• Melee (MNK/RNG/ROG): Haste > STR > STA > DEX = AGI
• INT Casters (ENC/MAG/WIZ/NEC): INT (to 200) = CHA (ENC only) > HP > STA = STR
• WIS Casters (SHM/CLR/DRU): WIS (to 200) > HP > STA = STR
• **Edit** BRD: Give him a percussion, stringed, and brass instrument, vendor works.

These are all very rough guidelines, and I'm sure someone can suggest better, but these guidelines will carry you until you understand your class(es) well enough to disagree with me.

Now please stop asking every couple days how to gear up a new sub-L5 character. Learn the class and you'll learn how to gear them appropriately. Most content in classic EQ is structured in a way that you can accomplish the early levels damn near naked anyways.
