That's not happening, nobody's selling those VP LR. Please don't provide false information/hope.

Fungi and a cracked staff would be your best bet. Fungi single most OP item for a melee bar none.

for a leveling melee

Some of the things that I found useful.

:Fungi
:truncheon for slows
:I got an infestation very early. Great ratio, proc is about as good as it gets for threat prior to raid weapons.
:cobalt boots, wspeciall If you’re not a large race.
:larrikan mask, but cobalt greaves are the bees knees if you can swing it.
As for weapons: if you’re not able to acquire raid weapons, and most guilds aren’t selling LR to anything worth having, get double blood points and a reaver. Zealot sword is also nice.

Reaver
Infestation
Frostbringer
Truncheon

Good to 60.

Don’t buy a Frostreaver. Vyemm 2hnder is better 2hnd tank weapon.

I might also suggest picking up a Velium Bow, maybe https://wiki.project1999.com/Double_Recurved_Velium_Bow . There's no damage cap on Archery at low level, so its actually very high DPS until damage caps lift and double attack/dual wield start becoming more reliable, and lets you bow kite basically anything outside with SoW if there's every anything you really want to solo that's red or whatever. Also will always help for pulling.

Come 50, you want 2 Blood Points. Marginal ratio at 10/21, but the 80 life leech proc is great for self sufficiency and aggro.

Life tap proc great for aggro?

From what I remember, any damage proc with a secondary effect (stun, life drain, interrupt, blind, root, etc) has much more aggro than a straight damage proc.

Even if not, Blood Points are still great. Those 80 life leech procs are good for self-healing.

What about journeyman boots ? If I had them, I would have saved a lot of experience (less death)
