Hey y'all, so I am planning on rolling an Ogre Shaman however the starting area and plat prospects are pretty low. Been thinking about rolling a Barbarian to start and then transferring items to the Ogre at lvl 14. The idea is:

Level to 14 in Blackburrow. Access to gnoll fangs, good newbie quests, quest bags, clickie neck for that newbie hammer. Seems like it would be decently fast to get to 14. Once I get bind and stuff, run to Feerrott area and transfer the items, extra spells, etc to the Ogre.

Does this make any sense? Or should I just roll Ogre and slog through the first levels with a rusty mace and netted gear? What do you guys think?

I would definitely just roll the ogre, the time spent on those 14 levels will get you to higher camps with more cash.

I approve of your plan

If it makes you feel any better, the Tribunal Symbol quest isn't in so no free magic hammer

Just create the ogre and log out at the Inn and build up that sweet rested exp(double).

I think Gnoll Fangs are awesome, but I'm not sure they're even worth a non-Erudite/Barbarian/Human/Half-Elf relocating, let alone making an entire second character for. Crushbone belts are kinda good too ([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]), and even without an item like that I hear people like Upper Guk, Befallen, Najena also. Well, Upper Guk at least.

What about making a Human ranger to 12, twinking a woodelf warrior to 9, twink a human wizard to 17, then take all the ill gotten gains to twink out your orge shaman

Lizard meat will get you rusty two handers that sell for 2g 7s and some copper, lizard tails will get you raw hide armor, and the lizards themselves drop cloth armors and rusty weapons. Feerrott isn't so bad for cash in the 1 to 9 range if you take full advantage of those turn ins, especially the almost 1.5 plat per stack of lizard meat.

Plus as a shaman there are really only a couple of level 1 spells and like 1 to 3 level 5 spells that are worth worrying about, so 1 to 2 plat worth all together until level 9.
