Paladin Weapon 50 +
 

I'm approaching 50 on my paladin using the Baton of Faith. What do you all suggest as a weapon to save for? I was thinking maybe Argent Protector or something similar. I'm pretty broke atm, but leveling on freeport guards, so I'm thinking of something in the 2k-5k range, could maybe push it up to 5k-10k if it's something really important.

Any suggestions?

Argent Protector for now (42/49 is pretty great for the price - try experimenting with root jousting) and save for Narandi's Lance to equip when you ding 55.

This is the way. You could buy a Reaver for around 5k if you are on blue, which will be better than Argent Protector. Reaver can be hard to sell, however, so it may be tougher to swap to Narandi's Lance at 55.

Thanks
 

Thanks for the info, I'm on green, reaver looks sweet, but not being magic is kind of scary.

Luckily there aren't a lot of mobs that require magical weapons. It isn't too difficult to work around. But yeah you'd usually want a backup magic weapon for those scenarios.

On Green it looks like Reaver's are 7K, Argent Protector is 3K, and Narandi's Lance is 3K. So it will be a bit more expensive to buy a Reaver anyway.

do you think it's worth it to go from Baton of Faith to Argent Protector for 5 levels or just wait for the lance at 55?

50 - 55 isnt a walk in the park time wise

Herbalist's Spade is a good option til 55 then narandi's.

With your relatively small budget and without knowing what you have, these upgrades would be noticeable for your solo game:

1. A weapon upgrade
2. A haste item (if you don't have one)
3. Deepwater Helm (if you don't have one)
4. Deepwater Arms (if you don't have one, saves mana on lulls)
5. GCD item (if you don't have one)
6. Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate (if you don't have one, or a fungi)

Can't really think of much else that would be noticeable on your budget. Perhaps some resist gear if you plan on fighting casters.

I've got SCHW and the Deepwater Helm. Deepwater Helm has made life 10x easier, it's awesome. The other stuff, I don't have, but I'll be working towards it. 200pp an hour, one hour at a time.
