Gearing for new players

[pickled_heretic]

you're my hero vexin gj on the fast leveling. tbh the best way to get gear at this point is to join a guild and start doing groups. no-drops are basically worthless unless there's someone there to loot them, make sure you're up there in hate to loot the bard drops. I don't really know how reliant bards are on gear, but you're not expected to tank so it can't be that bad. I wouldn't bother with lambent / shit like that when you're eligible for better no-drops that you could acquire for free.
