For 1k plat a person can twink ANY character well enough to get them through levels 1-40 and have an easier time of it than people who leveled twinks during classic. Throw-away Kunark weapons have better ratios than most vanilla weapons.

The NyBright sisters in LFay drop probably 2p on average (accounting for the daggers which aren't worth much and the occasional no-weapon spawn). There are 4 of them on a 6 minute timer. They can be started at level 12-14 for most classes without twinking. This is about 80p an hour starting at a low level. In 12 hours time a person can farm enough plat to start a decent twink of any class they want and even at level 20 be wafflestomping mobs in that set.

All ya gotta do is put in the initial 10-15 hours getting a mage or necro up to level 12.

A casual person playing 5-10 hours a week would be able to do this in 5-6 weeks tops.

Or, if you're so desperate to not start out on the bottom you could post in the newbie section and someone will likely hand you a couple weapons and some starting plat that will let skip the mage/necro farm character build all together.

I don't see why anyone should have a problem starting over from scratch on a populated server when items with 80% the power of BIS can be had for 100p or less.
