You could not be more wrong. I've made hundreds off CB Belts before hitting lvl 12 specifically because people want to use them to power through levels 5-12ish. I'm talking like 300p between levels 5 and 10 if you manage to get lucky on the drops or have a camp to yourself/a group that doesn't want them.

And bone chips.. name one high level necromancer that has time to be farming his own bone chips.

As far as people "not caring of the plight of the noob"....That's specific to green and only because green server and the bulk of it's population is still new. People don't have mountains of loot that nobody has use for . On blue that's a different story. Even after playing for 5+ years I couldn't make a new character without having a bunch of free gear handed to me before level 15. So if you want free loot for an easier experience, maybe blue is for you? But wait, you're the same guy in the other thread boasting about how much he loves dark souls (lol) and the challenge posed by EQ.. Then in here tlaking about how P99 isn't like live TLP? Do you realize how contradictory this all seems?

Greater Lightstones sell for 15p ea. in EC and (usually) move VERY quickly. The regular Lightstones can sell for 3p ea but dont sell nearly as fast. (worth trying for a bit before u vendor them tho)

Fellow new player here. I sat in EC for a few hours hoping for some handouts and I can say, forget it on Green server. Not only does no one seem to care much about the plight of noobs, but the server economy seems pretty inflated compared to Blue. Not only did no one offer any low level gear while I was in EC, no one would even bother tossing a buff on me, not even when I was fighting mobs right in front of them at the tunnel

One time a nice rogue came over and bandaged me as I was bleeding dying from rattlesnake poison. Thank God for that, because I was bound in greater faydark lol. I was just killing mobs in EC waiting to see if someone was going to do a giveaway to noobs, and I certainly wasn’t going to beg for items. After a while I just gave up

Green server seems ultra competitive. People play a lot, and I think they assume that a lot of the noobs they are seeing won’t stick around. Maybe it’s from experience, I dunno

I never got any help, so I had to do everything myself. I was able to save up and buy 30pp worth of higher level spells I’d need from Highkeep in advance (because the run there sucks) by concentrating farming low blue con mobs to deliberately stretch out the level and allow me to make more plat. In particular in gfaydark there is a wasp which has a good chance to drop venom sacs which vendor for 3g apiece. That and vendoring cloth armor drops were the best way I could make money. Right off the bat as soon as you get some money, invest in a bunch of backpacks or large boxes to carry more stuff to vendor

No one wants your crushbone belts and no one gives a crap about your bonechips. That’s been my experience on Green server. So vendoring items becomes your best bet. Get in the mindset of not relying on other players for anything

When I do a round of handouts I always goto lowby leveling zones (CB Befallen Unrest mainly) and give stuff to players there. Players who are actively leveling specifically.

I had a full set of banded by lvl 9 or so. i sold abt 5 stacks of bone chips and rest was from vendoring weapons and sheilds etc i scouraged up. i was in a high necro populated area tho so chips were kindve needed. put your head down and buy bags and fill them with shit and sell and get bck at it. youll get there bud

I'll kick you 50 plat

If you want some banded armor (on Green) PM me and I'll login and craft you some. The cost to craft it is approximately 5 gold per AC (not counting costs incurred in raising blacksmithing skill). I'm broke, but I can quickly gain the necessary funds to cover a set if I happen across a particularly generous NPC. So, you don't have to worry about that.

There are several people (I believe Green has two threads) that offer free banded armor to new players. As a response to the comment that they "sat in EC waiting for handouts" I can say that the vast majority of the items I've given away have been to random people I happened upon as I wandered about Norrath. There are numerous low level "traders" hanging around the EC tunnel. If you don't run up with something attacking you, or run up and ask for help or a buff or something, most players will assume you're just another "tunnel mule".

This offer does not apply solely to the OP. Anyone (on Green) that sends me a PM is welcome to inquire. I guess I should stop being lazy and work on Blue Mcoy's blacksmithing skill as well so I can also offer it there, although his ability to travel about Norrath is limited (compared to on Green) so it will take me a bit longer to produce the appropriate sizes.

Additionally, since it's been a while, I'd like to restate that the Department of Fun is pleased to offer free resurrections on both Blue (96%) and Green (90%). Just send me a PM, and I'll log in and get you taken care of.

I've got money for banded, just looking for someone to make it. THere another guy at EC Tunnel asking for the same. Message me in game please (Darkace).

Takes 3 days tops to casually assemble this stuff yourself at lvl 12

I've given away stuff that are too good to vendor but aren't worth spending the time in ec to sell. Stuff that's usually items around 30-100p but are still great for noobs. Thing is, EC has tons of mules so you never know if you are giving it to a real noob that can use and benefit from it, or just some dude's alt. And you don't really know if that lvl 5 guy is going to actually keep playing EQ.

So I like giving out stuff in oasis. If they are an alt, usually they are well equipped and you can easily tell. If they are a real noob and stuck around till mid teens, then they will get good use out of most of those items until well past 30's, maybe 40's.

Not even close.

It does seem you need to make a farming character first. One with night vision. And then choose a class you actually want to play.
