Just get in and get at it. As a shaman with 1k of a gear you're 90% effective as a raid geared shaman. This game rewards high play time. That's all there is to it.

No one is going to tell you what to farm. That's all anyone does on this server anymore.

Actually I've got a super obvious and easy one for you: Jboots MQ
Not quite. A shaman with high level gear and high priced spells will blow a shaman without this stuff out of the water. I have a couple hundred k worth of gear and I feel like there's more I can add on and more challenging mobs I can do as a result. I don't want to give away what I'm going to solo next by face tanking but it's a pretty big time mob and I'd be better off if I can add in even more AC and HP.

Shaman isn't a class like mage/chanter/necro/wizard where gear really doesn't matter. I keep my Necro is almost kunark gear for this reason. Most the cash goes into the shammy because the shammy is the one who feels a real difference once pimped out.

Extreme high-end soloing is not normal play for a Shaman in EQ. Shaman don't need gear, and as bomaroast said they're still 90% effective without it for any norma play. Sure having top-end gear matters for the solo artist challenge, but that's something only like 1% of all Shaman do.

The gear is even more useful during leveling. Having the cash for fungi/haste/epic/jbb makes leveling ridiculously easy.

I will say this though.

Shaman naked without high end spells is still close to top of the chain on p99. Shaman with good gear and high end spells is god mode compared to other classes except maybe Chanter.
