Sakuragi's guide was written during the Kunark era and before Velious was released here. Kunark was brutal due to the fact here was little mid level gear around, you basically went from crafted to indo/cobalt.

The easiest to pick up is the http://wiki.project1999.com/Crustacean_Shell_Armor which runs 200-500 a piece, is loaded with str and sta, decent ac. Great for twinking on a budget.

You can get a set of that while you level and when you hit around 50, move to kael sit at plate cycle for 2-3 days and pick up a set of http://wiki.project1999.com/Warrior_...n_Armor_Quests quest pieces to get you a decent all around set.

Thanks! Very useful information. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that soulbound items aren't a thing in EverQuest. In a way, having one particular armor set to strive for does seem convenient, although I'm kind of wondering how leveling progression is going to feel while accumulating high-level armor pieces at such low levels.

Or get some mage to summon you some WR backpacks and duel corpse them when you log.

Not quite sure what you're getting at. I understand what WR backpacks are, but "duel corpse them when you log"?

[Lifebar]

Mage summoned backpacks are temporary items. Temporary items do not poof when you log **if** they are on a corpse. If you die in a duel, you create a corpse without losing XP. You can loot everything off the corpse except for those temporary items and they will be on the corpse waiting for you later. Corpse lasts an even 7 days iirc. Rez timer on duel corpses is like 6min if you duel like a million miles away from your bind.

Unless you crash / go link dead....then all your treasure vanishes and you cry.

The economy here is all over the place, its generally easier to level a porting class and port people around to make money, and once you have a good bank roll, dump it into the warrior. Warriors are generally expensive to gear and dont really shine until level 50+. 5 years of Kunark have hyper inflated the market, and you have a lot of rich people running around which drives up the price of things.

As someone who made a warrior as my first p99 char, I just ground out orc belts in sro, headed to EC when I had 50+ and sold them for 5pp each. and slowly geared up that way to get the starter gear. Ran into some cool people while leveling that helped out along the way as well.

Your biggest issue is going to be getting the 5kpp for a haste item which you'll need. Once you a high enough you'll end up funneling to the higher ZEM zones (probably mistmoore), and there are some decent items there that drop for a couple hundred plat, and it'll get you on your way.

Until then its just grind away and make as much money as you can.

the single most important aspect of everquest is making friends.

If you're not new to eq and have a knowledge base making money for a starter set of gear that trivializes low end game play is actually very easy. If you're savvy this can be done starting at levels as low as 5-6.

Not being new to eq, by the time my bard was 16 I'd managed to get about 2-3k in gear under my belt just from selling belts, pads, greater lightstones and animal pelts.

The economy is old which translates to the really rare and awesome items having unobtainable price ranges for a new guy ... But there's also an abundant supply of medium tier gear that can be obtained very very early and at a low price considering that high level people will pay good money for things like belts to PL their new toons or faction grind with.

That item is a perfect example.

For 100p or less you can have a great ratio weapon that from a classic standpoint wouldn't have been available until your 50s. I remember running around with significantly worse on live, and paying more than 100p for that significantly worse weapon.

The age of this server works in your favor like that, but it might be hard to appreciate when you see level 10 twinks running around with 36% haste, exquisite velium weapons, and a fungi.
