Reselling the rings shouldn't be that big of a deal either. I still have my golden fire wedding rings from 2012 since I can always use them again on another alt but if a newbie really thinks that 300p is worth another 2ac and 20hp by all means...

I agree with this. For new players Golden is the way to go. When I made this guide I was thinking more of what cheap universal gear I'd want to keep in a backpack to pass around from alt to alt, since I'm one of those alt-aholics who really likes Crushbone. Since I roll a lot of alts, I wanted cheap gear that would be easy to replace incase I decided to leave it on alts I only rarely play.

For new players that 300p would definitely be better spent on weapons, spells or other hp/mana gear. You could get the Golden Jaded Bracelets, Chipped Bone Collar, Alligator Tooth Earrings, Drake-Hide Sleeves and Kobold Hide Boots for 160hp/40mana with plat to spare.

I do think that the Platinum rings are worth it though if you're not entirely new to the server. The platinum rings essentially give you and extra 5 levels of HP at lower levels where the Golden only give you 4.

I just got a new laptop, so I'm busy setting that up with updates and installs, but maybe in the next day or two I'll clean up the guide and put it on the wiki, since there seems to be some interest in it. I've also got a lot of stuff I want to put in a guide as far as making plat while leveling goes, mostly stuff I wish I knew when I started.

another cheap / insane value twink weapon: staff of battle. 31/37 2hb, monk/war, typically sells for 1k or less. eats up the spirit of this '1k twink' bit, but it's worth it.

This thread is a great help for setting up alts, thanks Ravager.

If you are an iksar there are a number of really cool drops right in field of bone. I don't know them all but just check wiki for notable drops in FoB.

Yep, good list. The ranger recommendations are right on, especially the Silver Swiftblade, that will do more for a new ranger than almost anything else. Eventually, of course, you will be using Woodsman's Staff, so work up that 2hb too as you go.

Paladin: Baton of Faith (2HB that's damn-near BIS until FA turn-in) (L20-46) ~100-200p
Also the Sword of Skyfire you have for SK should be listed for PAL.

Enchanter is about stacking CHA ASAP:
Crude Stein -15CHA, 50p
Golden Cat Eye Bracelet - 7CHA, 35p
Gypsy Medallion or Cat Eye Plat Neck (JC) - 9CHA, ~150-200p
Electrum Star Ruby Ring - 7CHA, 100p
Platinum Star Ruby Veil - 9CHA, 250p

That's 61 CHA for 770p, putting you over 150CHA for even the lowest CHA enchanters (assuming +25CHA on creation). Although an extremely strong case can be made to swap the two CHA rings (14CHA/200p) for two 5AC/55HP (total: 10AC/110HP) rings for 500p. Being able to charm reliably from L12 is game-changing.

Bard:
Sarnak Emblazened Tabard ~100p -1AC from Banded, but you'll use the MR for a LONG time, plus 10HPs at low levels.
Beartooth Necklace - 50p.
That should eat up the rest of your budget, unless you are saving that for songs (Since bards only get 1 song per level, their budget for spells is much smaller).
