I assumed that by adding the qualifiers "long term" and "mid-40s" the audience would have enough intelligence to understand what I was saying. I guess I forgot who was in the conversation, and I apologize if I confused you. I am explicitly saying that this is the right list of priorities for the long term when you hit the mid 40s and start wondering what upgrades should be next.

I understood what you were saying. You and kjs86z2 are wrong in the post you are referring to, and you are still wrong in this post. You simply look like an asshole now too by acting condescending.

Remember OP's parameters:
1. New Druid, last report was level 9 I think
2. 5k Budget
3. Mostly soloing

Not sure why you are focusing on a level 40+ list that would require a good amount of plat and/or some non-solo coordinated kills. Tuna Gloves and Kael Arena groups don't really fit a mostly solo player. Unless you are in an active guild, it could take a while to randomly find people who are killing those giants and willing to give you the heads for Tuna Gloves.

By the time you hit 50, you'd probably have these items first if you did well on plat farming:
1. Spells
2. Basic HP/MP gear
3. ES Gloves and Arms
4. Lumi Staff
5. Goblin Ring/Ring of Stealthy Travel

Putting these items on the lowest priority (or not mentioned at all) for a Druid even in their 50's is kinda silly when talking about a character starting out at level 1 with 5k who is mostly soloing.

Lowest priority items for OP are Tuna Gloves, Thurg BP, and Epic MQ, because each of those items will take longer to get (even in your 50s) than all of the ones I mentioned above for someone like OP. If you are rich or in a raid guild, then it will be easier to get those items.
