Its also not magic, right?

Still, like twice as good as you expect for the level. Silvery war axe is 6/22 and drops from the king goblin camp area in perma (level 30ish camp?).

It's not magic, but it's relatively easy to obtain at a low level and should carry a warrior comfortably through Crushbone or other lowbie zones for most of the first twenty levels, which is a point where warriors start to have other options (polished granite tomahawk, etc). It'll have value even beyond level 20 depending on where the warrior decides to go next... Unrest is liable to be virtually unplayable at most hours.

I think that simply getting your feet off the ground will be one of the hardest challenges to surmount as a Green warrior. Rare little gems like this help make that process much easier.

Non magical but one of best item in game in classic. I also tend to fail to get it. I don't think it is more trouble than it is worth. Nothing in classic is more trouble than it is worth. Thats the glory of it. All quests valid and valuable.

You can play up to level 60 in full banded and it isn't so bad. When you group, you're ok. Fun times ahead.

Yeah Bull Smasher is one of the best starting weapon you could grab but...
Same here, I tried on Blue just for fun and... oh boy. good luck ^^

Anyway, I half-confirmed on Discord that Combine Weapons are a thing day one.
So I think I will aim for a Combine Long Sword at 52pp as my "first" weapon.

Then try to farm a Dragoon Dirk, maybe a Gladius, maybe a PGT, maybe a Brazen Brass Kilij if quest is in.

We will see! fun times ahead!
Not sure about race yet....

The idea of trying to organize groups that are interested in farming solid warrior weapons is a bit daunting, haha. You have to convince a group of people to travel to some faraway place (risky), then hope the camp isn't taken by another person or group, then hope the placeholder isn't there, then try to justify the fact that you likely won't be in a good EXP camp to pass the time.

Warriors are gonna need some serious TLC from their guilds / friends to make it in Green, haha [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And we have virtually no way to pay it back except with the promise that we'll be solid tanks in the end.

I recall Obsidian Shard being a great tank weapon, and it drops in SolA where people will be grouping anyway. Back in early P99 I went there as a warrior and got two of them in one day. It has an okay ratio and a high aggro proc, so unless something about it has changed since I had that warrior (like a decade ago), that's a great pair of weapons to aim for. They'd serve you just fine until SSoY. Only annoying thing is that they look like starter daggers so you don't feel much like a warrior.

There are a number of decent nodrop warrior weapons in sol a/b for warriors that likely will still rot.

Ah yes. The journey to acquire a rotting Painbringer. A rite of passage for any young warrior. Lots of people did that here when the server was young, including me.

What about the Blackened Alloy Bastard Sword from Runnyeye -- or is that not in at launch?

[Nagoya]

At launch it will still be this girl: https://wiki.project1999.com/Blacken..._Bastard_Sword

RunnyEye revamp is mid-Velious iirc
