New intro thread: Sorry. Lv3 Paladin new to P1999.

[Flash]

Level 7, halfway to 8.

I'm really itching for a Sword of the Morning. lol

[Flash]

Level 9, and the hell stage is over. I finally get access to my first spells and feel like I'm not a piece of crap to general experience parties. They're not much, but they're a hell of a lot better than nothing.

Equipment update (more generous folk, I cannot thank you all enough, especially Ozie):

Sword of the Morning.
Bark Shield.
Full Banded armor.
55 HP rings x2.
Hooded Black Cloak.

Was wondering if I should upgrade to something better armor-wise like Fine Plate, or if banded is good enough until 20 or so.

Take tips from Porgat about telling everybody about your leveling. I would be much more entertained.

SotM at level 9? You sure did find some nice people! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Makes me think my own smarmy strategy didn't work out so well, lol.

The step between Fine Steel and Banded is bronze. You can find some pieces that are as cheap as FS but have better stats/looks. One example is the Enameled Black Breastplate (25) ac or perhaps Silver Plated Leggings. The leggings only have 10ac but are dirt cheap at like 200pp.

Keep on keepin on bud.

I turned my nose up at bronze because of how heavy it is. Fine plate is lighter, but with a trivial of 188, I'm not surprised at how expensive it is.

Then again, the AC boost isn't all that much higher than banded. Moreover, I'm a little concerned with how many people are telling me that AC is currently broken and completely ineffective at the moment.

fine plate is a waste of money. save up to buy the paladin quest armor or start doing it yourself around your 30s.

you will wear bronze until the 40s. the AC is worth it.

Maybe when I get some STR items, but right now it's too damn heavy to be practical to me. I get almost the same AC from banded, and it only weighs half as much.

Can you link to the paladin quest armor?

[Snaggles]

You can prob pick up a few Deepwater pieces for the price of Fine Steel. I mean, not sure exactly but a few hundred for the common pieces and it's a TON of ac.

Stats smats....your job is to get hit and like it.
