Tips and Tricks for a new Shadow Knight

[Thaak]

Best thing to do is level. Your ability to make money will grow as you hunt in new areas. Giant fort in WW will be solid money for your 20s, until you get the cash for like a Mace of Shadowed Soul/Sarnak Battle Shield and 5ac/55hp rings. Once you're in your 30s you can do the Dreadscale Armor quests, if you don't have other options for gear. And that'll last you til Velious gear, with a few tweaks here and there.
