More fun to start a new character naked/unfunded?

The only thing really better is the scepter of destruction.

Yes its dirt cheap because it is druid only. Its an uber item but at the same time a druid is going to use epic or a better stat raising item in 99/100 circumstances.

SoD is more of a melee twink item in my eyes, largely because of that proc. 12/18 is a ridiculous ratio too.

It’s dirt cheap because Chardok is mega over farmed. Good weapon to start with.

Ideally I'd like it to last me until Nature Walker's Scimitar.

SOD is the best twink druid weapon because it has lower delay than your scimitar and higher damage. The higher damage doesn't matter all the way through level 20 basically but its still better, because of the delay.

With a 10/19 blade and a fungi and a haste item you will be soloing mobs through like level 20 or 30 with impertinence while stacking orc belts up for turning in at whatever point you decide to do that, at which point you will need to sit down with your level 1 spells and cast the lowest mana ones to get your spell skills up and then you go on to be a normal druid.

Fungi is best in slot for anyone that can wear it but if your budget is limited you will probably wanna sell it when its usefulness wears out and get other gear.

Best is to keep it and use a manastone.

I assume you got a lumni staff and ggr?

Anyone with experience able to comment if these are worthwhile?

Why does everyone assume I have a Fungi? My Druid is going to be geared on a budget of 5-10k...

Lumi staff is very worth while once you can start using it. It doesn't make or break anything but its a mana-free AOE nuke so you can finish off mobs and stuff without wasting mana. If you're quadding you work it into a rotation with your regular AOE dd spell to minimize the cast time. Its a nice item.

lumi staff plus https://wiki.project1999.com/Elder_S...%27s_Vambraces makes you a lot more efficient in a bunch of different scenarios

ES Vambs are way better than the lumi staff for me, but I did a lot of root rotting so the extra free DOT helped efficiency a lot vs wasting an extra mana consuming DOT

edit- i looked up the GGR (goblin ring) and i never used the ivu ring with my druid so how to abuse such a ring would be new territory for me, so no comments there.

I wasn't assuming you have a fungi I brought it up to counterpoint the people that think a twink druid is stupid. They are no more stupid than any other twink.

But also you never mentioned your budget unless I just didn't read it.

On a budget your scimitar will be a great weapon for a long time. I would still get a cheap haste item. You won't be blasting through low level mobs non stop but you will still be awesome.

You can start fear kiting and just shredding up mobs with the scimitar as one convenient leveling option pretty early on (vs animals) so many fun ways to go.

If there's a cheap Haste item with Wis on it, maybe. It wasn't planned as one of the items I was looking for.

The exact list of gear I'm aiming for to start my druid:

Oakleaf Scimitar
Crystal Chitin Shield
Frozen Orb
2x Velium Fire Wedding Ring
2x Golden Black Sapphire Earring
Withered Leather Armor set (all 13 pieces)

But if it's not ideal to go for full Withered Leather, I can consider a cheap Haste item I suppose.

Silvery Belt of Contention I'd consider, since it has Wis. Eventually replace it with Planar haste belt, Honeycomb.

You can charm kill for exp extremely efficiently as druid starting at lvl 14 using guards provided you picked a class that has hide or you have the invis animal ring. You need zero gear to do it and it brings you to high 30s where you start quadding and mana pool might matter then. Then lumi staff starts to matter. Druid is fun if you have fun soloing.
