New intro thread: Sorry. Lv3 Paladin new to P1999.

Flash · #1 11-09-2011, 04:17 AM

Sorry about this; I felt I had to make a new thread since I had rerolled my character twice. This was due to me either not being satisfied with the class and how it plays, or being unaware of a bump in the road that would be counter-productive to my style of play.

As it is now, I have definitively and conclusively settled on a Paladin for my first toon. This was my first toon on Live, so I know exactly what to expect. Whether or not I can survive (this was in the days of Luclin) is another issue, but I'll do my best to try.

Any advice for Paladins on P1999? I'm using a plain two-handed sword at the moment and saving up for Leather armor, while slowly building my Blacksmithing and Tailoring.

Again, sorry for the extra thread; I didn't foresee that I'd be changing classes this much finding one to settle on. It was my bad. And thank you very much to everyone that has helped me thus far, whether it was advice or a warm welcome. I truly appreciate it.

Look pathetic in the tunnel and ask around for buffs.

lol, seriously? Don't players look down on beggars/panhandlers?

you're not necessarily begging, just asking for a little mana.

Check the "Ikthars Armor" or whatever the hell its called there in freeport. Usually a lot of people sell the banded armor they make to the merchants there and you can buy it decently cheap. I got almost a full set that way.

Don't worry too much about gear or tradeskills. Make your first priority leveling up in dungeons; dungeon monsters relatively early on (level 10-20) will drop leather, chain, and even plate for you, as well as minor weapon upgrades. When you build up a nest egg from selling stuff you find while leveling (whether to merchants or to other players), you can go to EC and have a little shopping spree. The game is not meant for you to be uber-geared at level 5 or 10 or whatever; you can get by perfectly well with the stuff you find just leveling, particularly as a paladin.

so what class are you going to be today? necromancer maybe? how about a druid. druid seems like a good fit for you.

LOL leave the guy alone. Paladins are pretty fun OP. Maybe I can run my cleric with you sometime. He's like level 13 though.
