You have three basic options.

Option #1: become a tunnel rat. Spend insane amounts of time in the EC tunnel learning what hundreds of items sell for, then slowly buy cheap and sell high with progressively more expensive items.

Option #2: Get 60, join a guild (that allows you to sell loot won with DKP), raid a bunch to earn DKP, and then spend your DKP on high value items (which you then sell).

Those are both kind of extreme options. In the middle is what I think most players do, which is hunt mobs that drop valuable items. If you're interested in that "option #3" I highly recommend checking out the Treasure Hunting Guide (link in my signature).

You don't need money, you need gear.

To get gear you either have to win it grouping, win it raiding or pay plat for it.

The good news, is we're a static classic eq server so you can buy pretty much ANY item in the game (loot rights, multiquesting, etc.) if you have deep enough pockets. Most of the group gear you need to get to 60 is also available very cheaply on p99...generally speaking folks are also helpful and will toss a few decent items to a genuine new player.

The bad news is that warrior is one of the worst classes to earn pp on and one of the worst classes to play without gear.

Get exp and level >>> get a few of the basic items with the plat you make as you level >>> join a guild that raids.

If you don't want to raid (why play warrior in the first place?) you probably will end up going the route of eventually making an alt for the purpose of earning some plat...(which is what many folks on p99 do) because what else do you do as a 60 warrior main if you aren't raiding?

dude, do you really think this is an option for someone just starting out looking to gear his warrior? lmao what planet are you from? To top it off i dont believe any top tier guild allows that. If you're 60 and looking to gear a warrior. you spend your dkpz on no drop items that are bis. /mindblown on option 2

Option 3) start a competitive guild, reserve high-ticket items for ‘guild bank’, merge your guild with top-tier guild, keep the guild bank.
