Gotta agree with Estu - unless you really want to blacksmith just start leveling up and wear what you collect, and then supplement that with the occasional trip to EC.
Your main role (as you surely know) is to hold agro and take damage. Your spells handle the agro portion for you, and below level 20 the weak mobs you are fighting could essentially be tanked naked by any knight/warrior. Just use leather armor and keep your eyes peeled for bronze, and be aware of any money or xp generating quests in the area. By the time you are in your low 20's you should be able to afford a plate or bronze item in most slots, as well as some basic jewelry.

I already know about the 40% exp penalty for Hybrids. That I can live with.
Right now I'm using a rusty two-handed sword. My priority right now is getting my Blacksmith high enough to create Banded armor, and saving up enough money for a weapon, like maybe a Nathsar Greatsword. After that, HP55 rings. P.S: It's alright, let pickled make fun of me. He's right, I've changed classes twice already. lol | ||

selling banded to make money is doable, but very time consuming. if you are doing it just to gear yourself up, it is a colossal waste of time and money. save your money. you will have 1k by lvl 30 or so (or sooner, if you are frugal and know places to earn a few coins). then you get a pwc which you can use until 45 when it starts proccing. if you are so insistent on that suit of banded that you must have it, you can buy one from a smith for 100plat. which is far, far less than what you'll pay trying to level up your smithing to make it yourself. | |||

Get to lvl 20 or so. Then go kill sisters in Lfay and sell their bronze weapons to the vendors there.
From there you can find somewhere to level until 30, when you can kill guards in Misty Thicket who drop an 11pp spear each and some platinum. If you level exclusively at these two spots during those ranges, by lvl 40 you should have a decent stock of platinum. It's certainly nice to have gear when youre starting out, but you only NEED new gear once you start tanking for real groups in the upper 30's to low 40's. Hope that helps. | ||

you need to be 1. providing services to these high level players which are too trivial for them to do themselves and 2. use the currency you acquire from these services to acquire the goods you need to be an effective partymember. what do high level people want that you can help with? faction. gnoll scalps, deathfist belts, and bone chips are all in very high demand for their ability to make traditionally kos races non-kos. crushbone belts and shoulderpads are also key items. high lvls will want these in bulk and they will pay well for them. bone chips especially, easy to farm (esp for paladins) and will net you between 5 and 20 plat per stack. wait for the right buyer and try to hit the high end. i know someone in one of my old lvling guilds who had earned 2k by lvl 16 farming bone chips and selling them to priveleged customers who paid a premium. getting the money is the hard part, spending it is easy. kunark loot comes to east commonlands practically by the truckload and it is very cheap. just sit in ec and you will see tons of stuff getting sold for basically peanuts. be picky and wait for the right item, don't grab the first thing that you can see that you can afford. because in general, these items have a very low resale potential. | |||
