I wouldn't call it a waste of money buying cheap servicable items. After all, you can resell them if/when you upgrade.

At any rate, fortunately there are a lot of cheap items that don't get replaced quickly, so those are a safe bet to start off with. 5/55 rings you mentioned (and the ears, necklaces, etc...all the jewelry from eq classic) offer an excellent bang for the buck.

You wont outgrow the gator sleeves too fast, or the moonstone rings. A pair of 4int 2str ears is good. So is the plat sapphire necklace.

stuff that you can easily replace is not worth the time to sell. it is difficult to find buyers for stuff that sells for 200 plat or less: by and large the new characters being started are all twinks with budgets in excess of 10k. all of the junk i find from kunark in the low price range (kunzar kujuch, staff of tranquil etc) i just give away or vendor.

i actually tried to auction a lot of my newb gear in EC a while ago and realized it was a complete waste. I was making 1k per hour doing aoe groups in skyfire, and i want to sit in EC and auction 500 plat worth of newbie junk? could not have been a bigger waste of time. so i tried to find people who actually needed it and just gave it away.

This is pretty much standard operating procedure here for anyone that doesn't know and should practically be stickied. It's not even really being nice as much as not being stupid.

I don't always min/max, but when I do, I give my cheap gear away.

Cool, thanks for the tips!

I ended up getting the 5ac/55hp rings and an oracle robe...looking for a Solist Icy Wand if anyone is selling! I have about 2.1k left, give or take...

Send me a tell in game, I will be playing my wiz (name is Elvath).
