I bought a combine scimitar to use for fighting wisps at level 14. I’m still using it at 35. I think it cost around 30-40pp at gypsy camp in Oasis.

You didn't mention if you're on blue or green.

I made a conscious decision to stay on blue even though green started right after I joined. I did that because my play time is limited and I'd likely not get to spend a lot of time crawling dungeons. Blue has an old economy which means there's lot of powerful weapons available for rock bottom prices (although likely still out of reach for absolute beginners).

I got a couple hundred plat from my necro and twinked my druid with a http://wiki.project1999.com/Smoldering_Brand. If you're patient you can get one for 100pp. It procs a DD for 14 but it procs at level 1 and the damage/delay ratio can't be beat for a "newbie weapon". I've since upgraded to a http://wiki.project1999.com/Skyfury_Scimitar but that one cost real plat (3k).

The brand drops in the Hole which should be coming to green soon, but I imagine it'll be a long time before they're 100pp on green!

Welcome you're gonna have fun!

for a halfling druid here is a good starting strat!:

1. Kill wolfs, wolfs & wolfs! so many wolfs! collect the skins! All the skins, dont sell them!
2. Find the leather working trade crafter, she is in a hut to the right if you are leaving rivervaile heading to misty, make rawhide armor for yourself, make it and sell it to merchants for money when you get extra to raise skill!
3. With the plat you make from this the first thing you buy is a Scimitar! you can get it from a merchant, its like 7 plat! this will be the best DPS until you are ready for a real magical weapon that you obtain from adventuring!
4. Next buy the best shield (from a merchant!) that you can, its a small shield, red with squares and not round shaped i forget the name/sze but yeah its cheep like 2 plat for a halfy!
5. by level 5 with this strat, you can get full rawhide scimitar and shield!

I call this my 5 in 5 full inventory and spells strategy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] you can do this in less than 5 hours!

I'm at lv 6 now, but this sounds like fun. I always did enjoy tradeskills back in the day.

Currently using a rusty scimitar. Picked it up off a skeleton if I remember right.

Buy a sharpening stone off of http://wiki.project1999.com/Bodbin_Gimple and combine it in a forge with your scimitar to make a http://wiki.project1999.com/Tarnished_Scimitar.

Same damage but slightly faster!

Finally found your post, so I can thank you!

At lvl 1 (Druid) I was broke of course and couldn't stay alive. Then I saw your post, and since then I can play now ;-) This quest is a lifesaver! I have now all the spells lvl1 &5 and bags. Thank you!

If you have any other high rewarding tip for starting Druid level, I'm all ears [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
If not, this one is good enough!
