Yeah, i remember on live, i was a fresh face dark elf noob, hanging around EC side of nektulos forest killing zombies and skellies (i was level 8!) and some guy runs past ... and low and behold he gives me black chitin legs, for no reason. I'm like "thanks". I then go into EC, and auction them, and omgwtfz they're worth like 800-1000p. I had like 5p to my name at the time.

I spent the next few weeks trading the legs for various items like crafted BP's and skull shaped barbutes etc. I was very nicely geared for a level 8... but anyway, the hand out had actually drawn me into the ruthless side of bartering and trading [You must be logged in to view images.

Yeah, and it distracted me from leveling. I did handmade backpacks and bearskin potion bags and banded on my wizard, and made a good deal of cash. However, I got bored and started making a bunch of alts instead of just getting to 50 and making $$ along the way. I made 5k on my necro just hunting guards over the course of 6-7 levels, which was much faster $$ than trying to tradeskill my way there.
