My guide (
http://wiki.project1999.com/Meviin%2...hanics#Gearing) has a list of some gear that might be interesting.
There are some slots where Black Panther is reasonable because some slots don't have many good mid-range items that are tradeable (eg, legs, boots, shoulders). In some cases, there are items that are better and cheaper than black panther (eg, Azure Sleeves). If your budget is 50k, though, and you already have a fungi, haste, and weapons, then you can pretty much get the best mid range items in every slot.
Don't worry too much about gear. If you have a Fungi, Addy Club, SoS, and haste, you'll be good until your 50s. I leveled using cured silk that I tailored myself, two Trace Sticks, and a Wu's Quivering Staff.
