New intro thread: Sorry. Lv3 Paladin new to P1999.

I can do without the armor for a while, but I really will need something better than a vanilla two-hander by the time I start hunting Dervish Bandits at Lv12. When I hit WC I do the Dervish Camp from 12-17; they drop bronze weapons, coin, and ivory.

I've got about 8 stacks of bone chips saved up.

there you go. should get you 100 plat minimum, maybe more. there's your suit of banded right there, though it would be a waste to spend it on that. keep farming and shoot for that pwc.

ironically, some of the best places to sell them are places where people go to farm them. high lvls go there to farm chips, you can sell direct to them and save them some time.

Honestly, Kunark stuff doesn't interest me that much.

How long will I have to wait for Velious stuff, so I can go farm Geodes in Crystal Caves and stockpile Velium/Chipped gems?

you're saying that a 20/28 2hb you can acquire for less than 1k doesn't interest you?

There's no way a weapon with a proc like that only costs 1k, where as an INFERIOR Wu's Quivering Staff costs more...

i'm conflicted. i think it's fun to make your own shyte. like blacksmith or tailor your armor, tailor your bags cook your food (like bringing vinegar and a skewer to guk so you can make froglok pickles as you kill frogloks). but it's definitely not the most efficient way to go about it, the fastest way to level is to spend 100% of your time grinding with only deviations being to acquire critical gear upgrades.

i respectfully disagree with the previous poster, imo you should save your money for a sick pally weapon like a poison wind censer. you will collect a suit of bronze anyway as you level up probably. that way you are contributing a ton of dps to any group you join which speeds your overall exp rate and saves the healers mana (per mob killed) too. after that, your gear upgrades should be a pair of 55 hp rings, then slowly fill out your empty slots and bronze with statted armor with hp, str, and good ac (in no particular order).

I don't think we disagree, I was just saying what he can do for essentially no money. Once he gets the 700-1k for a PWC he should certainly buy that, as well as 5/55 rings.

Don't bother with the nathsar greatsword imo. I parsed my 20 warrior using a Poison Wind Sensor vs a 23 warrior using the nathsar sword and she only did ~22% of damage per mob to my ~60%.

I should be playing my human cleric named Eldred some nights between 8pm and 12am Eastern. Hit me up.
