Newbiw Ogre SK, first character. What low level equipment should I be saving for?

[Ugrask]

All my cash is in my SK and he's got no hand-me downs besides what I've given ya already! But glad to see youre making progress.

Might have a Crested Mistmoore laying around if you still need a board. Just need to get it from Cab at some point.

While I'm never against being given free stuff, I'm more of just looking for information at this point. Is there anything I should attempt to upgrade till I get to 30 (for the sword), or the mid 30s for Darkforge armor?

and thank you for what you gave me, people on this server have been extremely nice with hand-me-downs, it's made getting through these early levels a lot more pleasant.

Get that, super affordable and quite a bit better.

Depends on your budget really. Look at it this way, if the game was fresh, you wouldnt have that sword anyway. So you're still going to have a leg up, and there's a dmg cap until 30...so play it safe with cash until then. Now...as far as DF goes, CT isnt all that camped so hopefully you've got some friends! (Working on regearing all my characters in the 25ish range, so maybe Ill be 30 and can help)

A good guide to spend your first 1k pp, I'd start with a weapon then with the rings.

I've got 55/5 rings. My weapon is currently a Nathar Greatsword (2HS 17/30). According to the wiki damage cap at level 20 goes up to 60, and now I am hitting for 34. I think upgrading my weapon seems like the highest priority now.

I haven't seen CoS mentioned in this thread yet. Since you are over L20, once you've got banded, 5/55 rings, and a weapon straightened out, I'd focus on acquiring a circlet of shadow. Works great with FD and pulling and getting around in general.

Great advice

I do get Gather Shadows at level 30, is it worth spending that much money on the item, when I'll have the spell in 10 levels?

I think we've been keeping the cost down a bit, CoS just keeps going up in price with Velious coming.
