wont green get a wipe before it goes live though?

Yes. But there is something wrong with all of us.

Still is a good idea to do the whole banded thing. That way the OP will have the plan worked out well for the actual launch and can get up to making banded faster for green [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ultimate cringe thread. TLDR OP is a massive douche bag

So far OP has set a goal and he's delivered. I'm involved in Project Banded, and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth to see posts like this.

Just who do you think you are? Coming in here with your profile pic of an angry lion and calling Aenor names.

Looking at your profile pic, it seems to me your just a big ol pussy!

I will definately be looking for Aenor and helping all I can with this project when green launches. Banded is great armor for a young server! Esp for classes like ranger that cant wear past chain.

Don't make me sick my bodyguard Seungkyu on you.

Edit: On Silveron now if anybody needs a set in Freeport.

At launch there is very little plate anyway. Banded is pretty much the best for all classes until Rubicite, which is wearable by all chain classes.

I think this is a cool project, but it does make me kind of sad inside, kind of trivializing the earlier levels of the game. Of course anyone can choose to not do it, but whe you've got people in full banded in blackburrow, but you're in full cloth, that's not a very classic feel. It's not how the game was in March of 1999 (Isn't that the point of this launch?!

It's really not as hard to get a set of banded on your own as you might think. I've been messing around with a few characters and seeing how blacksmithing works for both and I was easily able to get to banded on my Barbarian by lvl 10. On my Ogre, who seems to make much more money in Feerrot than my Barb could in Everfrost, had nearly high enough black smithing to start banded by level 5. It's really not that bad. I think anyone could do it by lvl 15 and still have enough money for all the spells they need, etc.

Finally a reasoned objection. To counter, I'll give you my real motivation. One of the game's biggest flaws is that casters can run around in their newbie robes and be 80-90% effective while mele classes are gimped by the lack of AC at low levels. By making banded widely available at low levels, its easier for people to pick mele and have more class diversity as the server opens. What makes me sad is 60% of the server being mages and necros. That's not how the game was in 1999 either.
