More fun to start a new character naked/unfunded?

Arvan when you say using guards do you mean killing guards? What guards do you kill? Sounds evil.

I guess while we're talking about it, how much is it to MQ Druid Epic? I know it requires a VS stone, so at least 20k, but doesn't require a SEoC like Ranger epic, so I imagine it's a little cheaper than Ranger Epic.

Druid and Necro can be pretty easy unfunded anyway. If you gear them up, you miss the whole point of classic. It's pretty boring skipping the struggle, that difficulty is what sharpens the skill. That's why Classic EQ was the best, struggle was real, no way to twink.

Well, I always follow a pre-planned path when leveling to ensure I'm earning sufficient funds to gear up along the way.

1-5: Nothing but Decaying Skeletons. By level 5 I amass around 20 stacks of Bone Chips, and selling those combined with the coin I get from vendoring rusty weapons and cloth armor is enough to afford roughly 200pp worth of starter gear.
5-14: Crushbone, sell all belts and shoulderpads to players.
14-19 Lfay sisters.

By 19 my coin would be enough to get a full set of cheap Wis gear. At that point I'd go grind rep in Warrens to get a key into Paineel (and later a key into The Hole). That would be some extra coin to gear up a little more for the Paineel guards.

Then from 19 on it's Paineel guards until at least 39, and possibly as high as 51. Between 39-51 it's either the palace guards in Paineel, or Geodes in Crystal Caverns.

Then it's probably The Hole, or to root rot Freeport Guards or Grobb Bashers.

Edit: OR Ice Giants at the entrance to Permafrost, IF that camp is ever open.

A full Druid epic Mq is going to run you anywhere between 70-100k depending on the seller. It’s a cheaper epic to buy, but not as cheap as the rogue or cleric epic.

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

They probably assume you have a fungi because of your 2014 join date.

I have an old join date and you know what I have? Jack squat. Majority of my time was on Red back then and what little I did have on Blue was lost with the low level purge a few years ago.

Actually I still am a glutton for punishment. I started an untwinkable wood elf ranger that has to solo on a server with no low level groups lol. That's even more punishing than Red.

Nah there are certain lower level guards around Norrath who will kindly take an animal down to low hp for you then you charm the animal and pull it away then break charm and finish it off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess 50k isn't ridiculous anymore, maybe I'll get one when I'm ready to play an SK. But I want to be able to afford Inny's Curse by then too.
