Thoughts? Thanks in advance

With 50k....

You could gear a Monk. That's my melee choice, FD allows you to solo more safely.

With patience, I think you could score:

Fungi Tunic
Jade Mace and Knuckle Dusters
2x 5/55 Rings
Full Wu's Armor

That's a GREAT start.

Your friend is going to be full of fail if his first eq experience starts out with 50k in gear. Let him suck it up for awhile with starting gear, let him learn the game as he should, and then maybe later toss him a bone if he sticks it out.

Dropping 50k on a first time EQ player is setting them up for failure.

Getting the feeling this is the wise course of action from player response

Thanks for the feedback all

Ya..... If your friend insists on having best gear day 1, he is not someone worth investing into. Part of this game is getting drawn back into the immersion and building your shit up piece by peice. I guarantee he wont be around very long if you uber twink him out. He will have no pride or care for his character.

Yeah, if you start out with uber ass gear not much to look forward to me thinks.

Then again, as a new player, is he even going to know the difference between 1k of gear and 50k of gear? Toss him a reasonable weapon and some jewelry/armor, so he feels like he's not starting out with rags if that is what he needs to feel motivated to play. Either he gets hooked or he doesn't.

Bard it up, all you need is instruments first 50 lvls. Like 3k will get you all the lambent ya need and then some. 10-15k will get ya most of the singing steel clickies.

I would go bard as well can get a selos drum for prob like 15k full lambent or if he follows tunare Mystic Koada'l stuff for say another 10-12k thats 27k for a fully geared bard with best drum in the game.. and still have 23k to play with to fill out incidentals, also you would be giving him a pretty challenging class to play might keep him interested.

[Autotune]

give him nothing.

let him borrow a druid/wiz to port/evac people around for plat and let him buy his own damn gear.
