Iksar advice gearing

[Jimjam]

My current strategy is to just equip whatever I find, maybe buy a decent weapon, and that will get you to the 40s. Things like raw-hide, rhino-hide, ringmail, ruined scale and so on are fine for that period.

From there you can pick up decent equipment from thurg quest armour, planar rots, kael arena, plate house (if applicable) growth clears, and drops (but now non-trash).

The sol ro / iksar quest stuff is good to do for fun, but if you just want to spend money (gems) on armour, you'd get a better deal trading with players.

In growth last night I saw a bard upgrade some ringmail pants to melodic greaves, so I can see I'm not the only one that follows this philosophy!

If you want a fun adventure and something cheap, try heading to Karnor's Castle to pick up some rotting Jar Sath scale armour, and maybe a supple scale wristband.
