if you had 500pp to set up a new paladin - advice needed.
a buddy of mine just joined the server and I have a meger 500pp available to set up his new Paladin char gear-wise, what would be the best "bang-for-my-buck" purchases I could make for this relatively small sum?

Suit of bronze (~110 AC): 100pp
Suit of banded (91 AC): 75pp Gigantic Zweihander (18/39): 200 - 300pp Crested Mistmoore Shield: 150 - 200pp Enameled Black Mace (8/28): 150 - 200pp Obsidian Scimitar (7/27): 80 - 100pp Jagged Band: ~50pp ea Moonstone Ring: ~50pp ea Golden Amber earrings (+3 str): ~50pp ea 4ac 45hp rings: ~150pp ea (guess) Obviously that adds up to more than 500 but it should give you some ideas. | ||

+HP and a decent weapon would be the best. A 2 hander would have him sorted for a while.

Don't forget splitpaw gear...hands, mask and belt. They sell very cheap and have very useful stats for paladins.
I would also recommend Azure sleeves. They have more AC than bronze, weigh less and usually sell for under 50pp. I would also say that you should avoid the 2 hander for now and focus on a sword and board set up. Until he is high enough to get over the level 10 dmg cap a 2 hander is useless. Go for a cheap but effective shield like bark shield or chitin shell shield each of which sells for 15-40pp and each of which has more AC than a crested mistmoore shield, but fewer resists. As far as weapons go...silverish scimitar is good, I like the cold iron morning star as well, but it is a bit slow. You might invest some time and get him a screaming mace. All the while though be sure you are urging him to save up for the all powerful ghoulbane...=) Also please feel free to see me in game and I will help you out with any more advice I can think of.

Definitely nab him some Split paw hide gloves, some banded, and a 2 handed sword or axe.The weapon is probably your most important thing, but dont spend all your money on it.
Asie from that, +hp gear would be tight. | ||

I'd spend it all on one thing. Save up another 100 and shoot for a ghoulbane. Dumb to spend 500p on a bunch of junk you'll be replacing soon anyway.

I've got a warrior twink i made when i was like level 30... i sort of left him and ended up making another warrior twink so i still have this fully bronzed war twink doing nothing. If I'm on and not busy and you're in WFP, send me a tell.
Also - i agree with people talking about the 2handers. On my new warrior twink i have a yak and a mith 2 hander, i don't use the mith 2 hander due to how rubbish it is in comparison, i hit for 16 with the yak, and only 20 with the mith 2 hander. 1 Handers look the best option.
