It's not about making it harder, basically I want to attempt to play the game the way it was intended. I want to avoid using any tricks that I wouldn't have if this was a fresh server. I feel if I geared myself from scratch and played through and attempted to tank as a non twink it would be pretty fun and give a nice sense of accomplishment.

Rotting armor that most people dont want is not a trick and would have been also done on a fresh server. Just saying. I find it amusing how some people enjoy making things harder on themselves. To each their own though.

This may inspire me to abandon my plan to twink my warrior and just play him and gear him from scratch. We'll see. I really have NO idea what class I want to play. Tried cleric on red and love him. Tried an iksar warrior on blue and love him. Tried a de necro on blue, love him. Played a wiz at release for EQ live and loved him. Enchanter sounds fun! hah!

The iksar SK weapon quests are very time consuming, don't bother.

Edit. On second thought there isn't much better you could get than vendor bought weapons. You'd have to be 30 to loot a blackened iron Bastard sword lol.

I like to play this game of no twink/no trade/only looting stuff u soloed. But it's infinitely easier with a caster/priest. Is really fun because this servers economy is so old insanely powerful weapons only cost 100

Iksar Berserker Club is achievable by an on level non-twinked group. Not a min-max SK weapon for sure, but i feel like it fits in with the spirit of what you are trying to do.

The Skull of Torture is also achievable by an on level non-twinked group, or even solo I would guess. Also not min max gear, but better than nothing and is fitting with your philosophy.

Good suggestions, thanks. I was also thinking iksar berserker club would be pretty solid if I could manage to get one

Tarnished swords that have loads of blades that drop from decaying skeletons are a good start (8/39) as they can 1 hit kill level 1 mobs.

After that an axe (about 3pp from vendors) then a claymore would be your next best weapons.

If you need a magic weapon but can't get hold of the IBC you have two easy options.

The Burynai Spider Fang from the spiderling caves (rubbish dps) or buying a combine weapon (I think the spear is the best ratio for the 1handers, but costs a lot... don't worry about the cost too much though as it costs like 64pp but you can re-vendor it for 57pp when you find something better. Think of it as a 7pp rental with 57pp refundable deposit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

Armourwise curscale/padded/bristlesilk to begin with then burynai hide / reinforced rhino hide from kurns should suffice.

You could grab some burynai and reinforced rhino armor in kurns. It's not worth trying to smith the banded yourself really unless you have the money to burn. Also the burynai cutter and carrion queen spawns in field of bone you might want to look into.

For sure this, and just focus on grinding xp, grind grind grind. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
