Will do, thanks for all your help!

There are plenty of cheap weapon options that will serve you well into your late 40s. Green Jaded Broadsword, Jarsath Trident, and up to 20 Vilks Dark Defender will also serve you well. You can probably get a defender for free [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And once you do hit 50+, buffs will see your str and dex maxed in no time. But, up until that point, stats from race and item will sure as hell matter.

(I vote wood elf warrior because they look sexy in plate and we alrdy got too many ogres!)

lammy, jade mace, sword of skyfire all good starting weapons. will hit for max and have lower delays.

So I've been contemplating this and reading over all of the responses. I think despite not having much in the way of starting gear, I will fumble my way through as a Barbarian Warrior.

I'll grab a couple of the best cost weapons I can find to get started. A few of you have said a set of bronze will do he trick for a while so I'll likely purchase a set when I can. Anybody know what a full set of bronze is going for these days? Or perhaps where bronze armor drops? If I can't afford that I'll probably grab banded to start cause I think that goes for around 90pp and I can for sure afford that.

Thanks again for all the input!

Large bronze drops in Najena off of Officer Groosh (something like that). Shaman, single pull so soloable as an untwinked 30s warrior.

Regular bronze, can drop in Mistmoore IIRC and in SoldungB amongst other places.

Banded will be fine for many levels in old world and isn't much worse than bronze but weights much less.

Awesome, thanks, good to know!

Don't even bother with bronze. Just hang out in EC and pick up random pieces of cobalt, crafted, kylong, seb scale, rygorr, etc when you see them for cheap. You can probably find some random pieces of human RZ cultural, too.

Okay, thank you, will do. Is there a good place for me to reference cost for this stuff? I wouldn't know if something was cheap or not.

I have some RZ armor I don't need. Pm me if you want it (free).

Mobs haste each other, though, right?

And slow cancels haste?

So in areas with a lot of shaman, etc, any kind of slow is a pretty big deal?
