Starting out, advice needed

You can't make "quick cash" with a brand new character; that's what I'm trying to tell you.

Well yeah, but another character that levels twice as fast as my main should be able to provide PP quicker, or at least that was my reasoning for this thread.

It won't matter at any rate, I'll just play what I want. I suppose I'll wind up making a cash farmer once my main can't group effectively, but that shouldn't be a factor for some time.

Good idea. That's why I said this:

If you enjoy playing the farm class along the way though, and then your play on the SK is more enjoyable too because you've got some gear to help you along, go for it. But if you REALLY want to play a SK, I'd say just go right for it and try to make friends with nice folk who can help you out with some PL, grouping with alts, handmedown items, etc.

Not trying to tell you what to do, just trying to give advice based on the things you've said in this thread. It sounded like you were only going to play a non-SK in order to make money to give to the SK... and as far as my experience with this game goes, that is just an all around bad idea.

If it's what you're going to have fun with, play the Troll SK and don't worry about gear. Gear will come with levels just fine. You'll have your spells for holding aggro, just save up for 5/55 rings and a decent weapon as soon as you can. Don't think of everyone who is twinked to hell as people who are outshining you, and instead as people who are helping to powerlevel you. As long as you hold aggro, you can think of the Ragebringer in your group as yours when it comes to exping. Supertwinked groupmates will make your life as a Troll SK that much more bearable.
