Finally a reasoned objection. To counter, I'll give you my real motivation. One of the game's biggest flaws is that casters can run around in their newbie robes and be 80-90% effective while mele classes are gimped by the lack of AC at low levels. By making banded widely available at low levels, its easier for people to pick mele and have more class diversity as the server opens. What makes me sad is 60% of the server being mages and necros. That's not how the game was in 1999 either.

Fair enough. I agree non-clothies need all the help they can get. I still may go the hard mode and level blacksmithing myself, just because I'm a masochist.

How do we get on the /list for when launch happens?

[AenorVZ]

Send me a direct message.

I can use a set of large banded on my shaman

Thanks again for that banded it's carrying my warrior just fine at 25.

UPDATE: I've been talking to a number of you in Discord and direct messages. I'll be sending a final note to everyone via direct message but from this point I'll be doing all communication via Discord. Please send a friend invite to AenorVZ#0037

I will be starting in Qeynos and I'm looking for others also starting there to help make Day 1 banded possible. A number of you have expressed that you are willing to delay starting your preferred character in other starting cities to help me on server opening. I've decided that I'd rather everyone focus on their own character and only ask assistance of those who are starting in Qeynos.

I was the first non-anon to 16 when Beta opened and I successfully mastered smithing within a few hours of server launch. Some of the strategies I used to accomplish this have received multi-level nerfs but I have Plans B-Z to fall back on. I'm more confident than ever that Day 1 banded is happening.

Do you really think people are that dumb and cannot see what you are doing? Is your last name Madoff or something little grabbler?

Kraznor sounds like a Bear

Good luck with your Project Banded operations. I hope you picked a deity that lets you make some cool cultural plate in the future!

You actually do not have to be the right deity to make an item, just the right race. Starting in Qeynos, Any Human can make any Human cultural (wearable, but not craftable, by Barbs, Erudites, and Half Elves).
A cleric or shaman of the correct diety needs to imbue a gem to create a deity specific item, but the blacksmith just needs to be the right race.
