Default What should I buy next.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Tobius 57 Warrior
https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Cenwood 50 Bard
https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Chebazer 40 Shammy

Other than a few good DKP bits on my warr from the old days, I feel like all 3's gear is trash especially the shammies.
The shammy is a firepot bound faction quester, so he's interested in illusions and shit.

I love clickies, and have a lot of masks and stuff on the bard. Got the neriad and werewolf guitar. Got the cheaper cobalt and singing steel bits.

I don't really play the warr because I don't really have time to raid, and I was loving the bard till 50 now I don't know a good chill dad camp that offers plat or faction on the bard so I've plateued with him, I refuse to learn to swarm.

I've broken through a plateau with the Shaman and got him to 40 and now he has a good run at paineel guards again where I'm happiest.

As I've been spending money on clickies and stuff it's compounded the gear issue and making levelling harder.

I'm not sure what to buy next.

1. I need a dad camp for the Bard, any suggestions?
2. I wanted to buy the following items for the bard:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Iksar_Hide_Mask
https://wiki.project1999.com/Mask_of_Obtenebration
https://wiki.project1999.com/Desiccated_Halfling_Mask loot rights once I get the faction (is it better to grind faction or grind plat to buy skins and stuff for faction?)
https://wiki.project1999.com/Singing_Steel_Greaves
I like feat kiting so this is a perma extra spell slot in effect.
https://wiki.project1999.com/Singing_Steel_Breastplate
3. Looking at the Magelo, I'd be interested in buying some upgrades that while not cool or fun are serious power jumps for a decent price, allowing me to farm plat faster for the silly items.

1. For the Warr, there's no way to level except grouping I guess, where do the few remaining players do that at 57?
2. I wanted the following items for him:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Cobalt_Bracer
https://wiki.project1999.com/Cobalt_Breastplate
https://wiki.project1999.com/Truncheon_of_Doom (I had before but sold it when I was broke, regret that now)
3. Looking at the Magelo, I'd be interested in buying some upgrades that while not cool or fun are serious power jumps for a decent price.

1. For the Shammy, I should probably save for like Torpor or something or Canni III I guess? But He's too low level maybe I'll go off him or get back into the bard, don't really want to buy stuff he can't use right away.
2. His gear I feel is the worst, taking suggestions on items, also suggestions on dad camps (ideally that give good faction or coin as well as exp) for when he outlevels paineel guards.

Finally, I asked a question here, but if these are still in game and recharge is cheap I guess I wanna buy two of these for the shaman:

Park the War in KC for XP to 60. Join a raid guild and get some DKP for a Z heart or something else you can sell and then you can pimp out your shaman and bard.

Dad camp and bard don't go in the same sentence.

Find giga twinked war / monk alts to duo with on your shaman.

When you say dad camp for the Bard are you asking for like single 6:40 spawns that you can AFK between? Not really sure there's a lot of plat/faction options there.

Does the War have a seb key? Seb could also be a good option to pick up some sellable loot here and there, especially if you join a larger guild where you can easily form pick up groups. The only downside on Blue is that the economy is stale so it's going to take you awhile to move things, sometimes even for big ticket items.

IDK if Karnor groups are really a thing on Blue anymore. Even on ENC I will turn LFG on while solo'ing there and never get invites. I mostly see ultra twinks and level 60s solo'ing around.

Do you have a fungi? If not, best investment in the game. Can twink avoid a dozen toons with the same piece of gear…

Fungi is like 40k, it'd take me a loooong time to save up. I could buy basically everything except cobalt bracer and AON for that money even if after having it I could farm cash faster.

I got some good answers when I asked for bard levelling suggestions 50-55 including non-swarm starting on this page and later in the thread posted my experience at some of them: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...=430422&page=5 . Charm killing CS wyverns was one of my favorite non-swarms that should be good at 50. They don't give a faction hit. I don't recall how it compared to guards plat wise, maybe decent from velious gems?

I bet you can get a halfling mask lr seller to rez you to the camp to loot without faction. Likely an expensive LR though, it can be rare.

Farming the iksar mask probably isn't the most efficient use of time, but in case you prefer self farming items, bards are as good at this camp as any class and you could get some exp while you're there. Not sure what level you could efficiently start that at, my gut guess is at or before 55; the forager is only a 45 melee but some of the placeholders cast and I think one of them is 51 and summons.

I agree with the Singing Steel pants if you continue to non swam bard solo. Singing Steel helm can be fun including for pulling in groups and proccing your OT hammer if there's nothing around to hit. (And you can go charm the foreman and give him a jade for a free ot hammer now if you haven't already.) I think the Singing Steel bracer would stack with your ring 8. If you don't have decent weapons already there's some affordable options like https://wiki.project1999.com/Di%27zok_Wristsnapper, https://wiki.project1999.com/Guardians_Mace or similar. The https://wiki.project1999.com/Breath_of_harmony effect is an instant click not a proc, and can be useful but tedious.

I agree a fungi would be useful, I think especially on the shaman. Lots of fun everquest in front of you, it will take some time to get to all of it.

Nothing is going to affect leveling like a Fungi. Even on a Druid the passive healing saves so much mana it’s OP.

If you do 40-50 on in EFP on your Iksar Shaman you will make a lot of $ and it will simultaneously fix your faction in NFP, making it much easier for you to bank. Serious advice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] you also get a lot of drive-by buffs from high level enchanters or druids. At least I did on my Shaman.

Chebby is firepot bound, I'm actually working on a guide, iirc he has NFP and EFP faction.

One of the problems of firepots is it kinda prevents you enjoying guard camps.
I suppose you could do qeynos or something but yeah...
