New (Returning) player coming to P99

[bricke75]

I have 1030 plat saved up now. Would it be worth ditching my Iksar Scaled Gloves in favor of SCHW?

[Varren]

I’d say yes. That haste will do far more for you than any other armor.

Made 31 hunting mammoths, but time to move on. Half of them are green now.

But while I was in the area, I hunted down a werewolf and the ghoul messenger in West Karana. I used the werewolf pelt to upgrade my back slot to a Werewolf Hide Cloak after tracking down Karg Icebear. I also used the strategic map of kithikor and turned it in to Morin just because it was a fun Ranger quest with a nice but unused reward [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Upon visiting EC tunnel, I was able to get a SCHW for 1k plat. I also upgraded my blood stained tunic to a brigandine tunic.

I now have about 250 plat left over to start saving for my next upgrade. I probably should replace my Ringmail Neck and Split Paw Hide Belt.

What chest piece are you using? I have have one I would be willing to part with if its an upgrade.

Ahh okay. I was going to offer up an Ivy Etched Tunic but it's kind of a wash with a Brigandine Tunic. If you want it, let me know and it's yours though.

Man, this thread is inspiring. Makes me want to level up a Ranger again tbh.

How are you on bags? For starting out on the cheap, I recommend filling your bank with caster research boxes. They are 10 slots and only 10pp each (like Lexicon, Elemental Grimoire, etc.)

For casters and monks starting out I recommend the bags you get by turning in greater lightstones. They are only 6 slots but only weight 0.4 lbs each instead of 3lbs for regular backpacks. That's 20+ less pounds to lug around which is huge for monks and very helpful for casters with low strength.

For your inventory later on you can make or buy handmade (10 slot) backpacks for 60pp each. They are 1lb less than the research boxes but 6x as expensive.

You'll want one container that holds giant items, the cheapest are the 1pp large sewing kits you can get in the NRO Inn (Spoolee Gee I think his name is). When money isn't as tight, you can get a Shralok Pack (8 slots, 25% weight reduction & holds giant items) for 100pp.

I didn't see anything about a bow. You can get a runed oak bow (21/43 125 range) for 100pp. With Velious out, there are a ton more tradeable bow choices up to the 32/36 Exquisite Velium Reinforced Bow for 9-12k.

Saturday morning I entered HighKeep at level 31. Sunday afternoon I left at level 35 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] That was a very fun and fast paced area to group. Thanks for sending me there!

I also sold off about 40 goblin ears and now have 1400 plat available.

So, should I save up for something in particular or upgrade my weapons? Here's a quick run down of my gear.

As far as bags go, mostly just standard backpacks, a sewing kit and a quiver. I've tried on multiple occasions to get a Shralock pack but there's always level 60s camping it. Seems they could camp something more valuable than a 125 plat bag.

I was also thinking of camping this: https://wiki.project1999.com/Thunderhoof_Quiver

Hey everyone. I am also a new player, so I don't have much in the way of useful information to share, but:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Medicine_Bag

These are only 1pp from vendors, and are essentially a .4 weight backpack. These can't be found in every major city, so you may have to do a bit of legwork to get to a vendor that sells them.
