As a new player to Project 1999 blue server, with only two newbie characters, the highest of which is level 19, I find the economy to be daunting.

Yes, I played classic EQ up to PoP and know how to make a little plat here and there, but a lot of lowbie items are not for sale anywhere because veterans don't even bother to sell them, and higher end items are out of my reach.

So I have to get them myself, and it is possible, but a little frustrating when I know they surely exist in droves on the server. Joining guilds helps I suppose but I hate begging for items or asking people to help me.

What classes are you playing? I have a Crafted Velium Claidhmore, Sarnak Battlehammer, and Silken Whip of Ensnaring rotting in my bank right now. Don't think I have any armor as of right now, but if you can use something out of that, PM me your in game name and I'll hook ya up.

I appreciate the gesture. Alas I have a druid and cleric. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My point is just that it's hard to legitimately buy items starting out, few are for sale, and thus, I can see why plat farming becomes a thing as people focus on money above pretty much all else.

I'm actually doing just fine on my second character, a level 9 druid, equipment wise, because I just focused on killing stuff that got me sellable items like bone chips and HQ pelts.

But my poor level 19 cleric is still wearing rags and I can barely afford spells, because I didn't have that focus on money from the start, and actually sought to group with people and stuff.

If you're having trouble with getting the cash for spells or basic armor for your cleric (banded?) then I'd suggest hanging around where a high-level type is killing guards or other FS droppables and offer to either toss them a couple buffs to clean out their corpses or being a vendor/bank mule.

One good spot for that is Felwithe- guards there drop $ vendor items that often rot due to weight. If you offer to sell them and split the profits with the guy killing, in a fairly small amount of time you can probably bank a couple hundred plat to buy a set of banded and a couple circles of spells.

Just a suggestion- no begging required and you might make a friend or two.

Good idea. Thanks! My approach thus far was, I was going to make a druid, and solo for plat.

No good necro lets those 22p Two Handed Swords rot. Loot 'em all and drop them to a level 1 tunare worshipping enchanter alt with maxed charisma for highest sale price. It's easier to have a newbie do it than play the character hopping game every 16-20 kills though.
