P99 economy breakdown for a noob

[Jimjam]

You don't actually need a lot of gear to get started, it's only really by the mid 40s you need half decent stuff, which is coincidentally when you can start finding such items out in the wild.

The real exception to this is weapons, but fortunately you can get some 1:2 ratio weapons very cheaply.

My suggestion is to hit level 5 focusing on decaying skeletons. Earn a set of cloth armour and use a rusty two handed if you find one for those one hit kills. Keep backpacks and sell any other cloth/ rusty weapon /bag you find. My favourite spot for this is at the North Ro inn.

You'll make dozens of pp from the cash drops. Use this to fund a sword of skyfire or green jade broadsword from east commons. Don't be put off if you see them advertised for over 100pp, people will sell them far cheaper than that.

You'll also collect backpacks full of bone chips. You can sell these for players in EC or(race dependant) turn them in for XP in Kaladim. You'll probably have enough to hit level 10.

Personally I'd hand in the bone chips and wear whatever raw-hide, ring or bronze armour I find while XPing. I'd the. Collect centurion belts and legionnaire pads in crushbone while grouping. These are also handed in for XP in Kaladim. You may prefer to sell the bone chips and centurion/legionnaire gear.

After your first 1:2 weapon your next port of call is a set of banded armour or similar (90pp looks the part and lasts till 30-40s), a second weapon (same options as before or a hammer of zek), velium Fire wedding rings (a few hundred pp each but lasts you to 60) and a 'cheap' haste (900pp when you hit 46 piggy back on a scheduled plane of sky raid to loot a rotting belt of concordance for haste instead... Also try to get the pieces to quest the sword Dagas).

By 37 keep an eye on /who all kithicor and ask high levels if you can join to loot any rotting Scimitar of Ykesha, and do similar with Steamfont but asking for the Trochillic's Skean. These two items frequently rot as a side of the rogue epic and are decent aggro if you haven't found better yet.

After you have your basic weapons/rings/haste sorted try pick up an entropy wrapped serpent spine for aggro. The Venomous axe of the velium brood is good for lower levels. 40+ you'll want a frostbringer.

From 46 get guilder and you can start getting your fingers into much higher tier velious items in the field which are far superior to anything that would be affordable to buy anyway.

If you really feel you've outgrown your banded before then consider questing some 'crafted armor' from South karana, looting Ry Gorr armor in eastern wastes or buying some crustacean armor. Jar sath armor is an option for iksar and other medium races that frequently rots in Karnors Castle.

I'd strongly suggest on finding a half decent pair of weapons and haste before improving your armor though.

What if I told you class's can be fun without throwing thousand of plat at them at lvl 1 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In a way it would be more fun

This.

Save your pennies. Xp on low end content that has stuff people want to buy (bone chips, orc belts, bear pelts etc) and save your money for buying the things that really matter. Completely new to p99 I had saved about 1800 plat by level 18.

For a warrior invest that money in a few cheap but effective weapons and cheap haste like silver chitin handwraps. Resist the urge to spend 50p here ... 100p there on cheap random upgrades until you have a few decent weapons and haste. The rest will fall into place over time.

Also find someone killing guards, especially in Freeport, they usually let fine steel weapons rot which is both a good weapon and good money at level 1-5

People don't let FS weapons rot on guards. Maybe in Sol A when they're farming bricks

If you hate yourself you can tunnel rat for a few months, if you're ok with yourself you should just play and get groups and find loot and save up plat for things you want.

Rip people off. Pretend you're giving them an awesome deal when you're really not. Make sure you act like you're super important and they can't do anything without you. If they don't respond, keep badgering the fuck out of them until they ignore you. Find them in the tunnel, open the trade window until they accept. Then if they don't want to pay your terrible price, send them a bunch of angry tells saying that they're stupid and they don't know what they're talking about even though literally there are like 5 other people selling the same item for like 50% cheaper at the same time.

As long as it is green on both sides of the trade window, you win, all other details are unnecessary.

Maybe get a drug problem too if you don't have one already.

Sounds like you are referring to a certain tunneler whose name escapes me but i'm pretty sure it starts with B. Someone help me if you would.
