New Solo Pally ?

[Maybach 2.0]

I''l be on Samsams in game, feel free to PST me and I'll answer more of your questions! Here's some answers on whats been asked already:

-Ghoulbane spits hot fiyah. Srsly though, great weapon, a Pally staple. A Mithril Two-Hander would be a good sword to aim for saving up for, im pretty sure those arent that expensive on Blue.

-Look up your Ro armor quest items, and start xping where those items drop.

-Seeing as your a Pally (you're rolling with a cleric? i cant remember if i read that) but get used to Unrest. On red, a lot of people went into unrest at 14 and left at 35+. It gets boring, but it's just flat out good xp and ideal mob types for your duo.

- Befallen is a good zone to xp in also because: It's in WC / right by EC, most higher levels are very cool about buffs, and gettin some 50+ buffs is gamechanging when youre this low level.

You guys might want to consider a pocket shaman in lieu of the cleric. Less overlap spell-wise, more damage, slows, wolfie, etc.

Just my entirely unsolicited opinion, of course.

Baton of Faith is the best 2H for pallies 20-45, buy in EC for ~2-300PP. At 46 get an FA (the book of scales MQs for ~15k-ish I think). For 1HS, Sword of Skyfire is cheap and good until you can drop ~1-1.5k for a Sword of Morning.

Deepwater armor is so plentiful its almost vendored (except BP/legs), most deepwater pieces will be 500-2k. Get some 16 AC legs for ~1k (kylong or sebilite scale), and some 5AC/55HP rings for 500 for the pair. The mistmoore 3STR/12HP earrings are about the best you will do.

The most expensive piece of gear will be haste, but since pallies keep aggro with spells and not DPS, its not as high priority. I think FBSS have dropped to 5-6k though.

All in all, pallies are incredibly cheap to gear up, especially compared to warriors and to a lesser extent SKs.

On live, with minimal twinking, I soloed unrest from 12-30ish. Start outside on the undead trash, move inside to the first floor, and then upstairs as you level. Root + pacify are amazing skills. Ghoulbane is awesome against undead, but a bit spiky (streaks of not proccing suck).

If you're <20 right now, get a nathsar greatsword. Excellent, fast twohander for skilling up.

That sucks. I abused the hell out of that staff on my cleric. I would do all 4 Paineel skeletons in one go. Then med up and do it again. lol

Yeah, it only had a proc mod when they redid the spell-level progression on live. Ward Undead went to a 12 point nuke (from 42) so they gave it a 4x proc-mod. Staff was pretty boss until 24 or so.
