Last week, I decided I was going to play EQ again as a SK and spent 200K on items. The next day, I decided I didn't really want to make the commitment. I sold back the items except for a CoF and fungi and ended up probably losing like 15K in value.

Oops.

There really is almost never any reason to dump 200k on a twink.

When you do it should be CoF and Fungi and those are extremely interchangeable between twink classes.

I always lol at the people who twink their monks with tranix crowns and RBGs when they already have a CoF.

Weapon, Fungi, Haste. After that spend maybe 500-1k a piece on gear, not 25-30k BS.

Um, you're thinking too much about haste and not enough about stats. RBG has some really really good stats on it. If I had the platinum to buy CoF/RBG, I would, not because of the haste of the RBG but because of the stats it has. I can't think of a better bought belt for stats than RBG.

If you ask me, when it comes to twinking a new melee character there's really only three things are going to make a significant and noticeable difference — a haste item, a fungi, and a good weapon.

Those are "the big 3."

This is true for the most part. But maxing stats makes a large difference if you've ever maxed stats on a twink before. I mean, why do you see so many ogre SKs around instead of darkelves?

That's certainly part of it. But it's the difference for most people between spending 300k to twink a char for max stats and 30-40k to twink one for max stats.
