Newbiw Ogre SK, first character. What low level equipment should I be saving for?

I don't know you, but you were smart enough to roll an ogre despite the allure of some mediocre 1hander with a cool quest.

For this, I will throw you 1000 plat or some items the next time I log in.

I rolled an ogre because they are the best race ever. (Well, at least they were my favorite race from the classic EQ days.) I had even started a RP guild back in the beta that was ogres only named "We Hungry"

I didn't even know there was a useful 1 hander quest really, though whatever it is can't beat Ogre smash!

and thanks, any money or equipment would be extremely helpful, I just got to level 6 and I'm finding it getting really difficult to solo even con mobs now. My character's name is Fettug. I don't know if I'll be on tonight, but I'll definitely be on tomorrow.

get a good weapon 1st, can snag kunark era 2h for 100pp. then id prob get banded, then save for 55hp rings.

If I may chip in with a related question please?

My wife's SK is currently lvl 27, and she's using a shiny brass shield, and a sword of skyfire. Other gear is a mixture of banded, dark forge, and trash [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't have a lot of cash, so I'm wondering what's the next upgrade to get. Should we save for a MOSS, and a clay guardian shield (about 3k total cost?), or should she be thinking about going to a 2-hander once she gets to level 30? It is 30 when the damage cap gets removed, isn't it?

We usually duo, with my shaman, so she's almost always the tank, that's why I'm thinking a high AC shield might be the way to go ... ?

Thanks.

It's been so long since I've played and I've forgotten so much. Is there a damage cap before level 30? Maybe I should be using a 1 hander and shield for now.

Personally, if you guys are duoing, I'd think you'd want her doing some DPS? So maybe a decent 2h while upgrading some HP/AC in other slots would be a better use. But I could be wrong.

I Bought a Deathbringer for about 500p 30/40 - you can probably get something else cheaper.

I recently came into a little extra coin from a helpful necromancer. Do you know a decent 2H I can get for 100pp? I really need to get rid of the rusty 2H.

If you're new to the game/an SK just PM and I'll try to front you some PP to get a weapon once I finish re-gearing mine. Stripped mine and deleted to re-roll with some buddies who then decided Nah, so waited a month for a restore, but he's back in action.

But quite a large amount of options in the 2-500P Range. So I'll get you set.

[Ugrask]

Also the DMG cap is until 30, but it goes up at 10/20 until gone at 30 I believe, so while you'll be capped, you'll hit for max dmg more often and unless youre rocking a MoSS or Noc, the dmg from a 2H will be better.

We can get you this - if you want some faster swings.

Or maybe this for bigger hits.

We'll see whats available.

I personally think that Sword of Skyfire (150-200pp) is the best bang for the buck for pre-20 with the damage cap (and no double-attack), but it is 1hs. Thats just my opinion...I'm sure you parsers will show that I am wrong.

When you hit 20 and get double-attack and damage cap eases a bit, you can get a deathbringer (2hb) for around 300-400pp.
