More fun to start a new character naked/unfunded?

There's two kinds of rangers. Ones who use frostbringer, and ones who have learned their lesson.

Currently I'm using dual Lamentations, so Winter's Fury and Frostbringer would be nice upgrades for me, and sufficient placeholders until the Epic.

I play a Ranger to dual-wield and swing like a maniac, not to two-hand, so Woodsman's Staff is blech.

Wait, twinking stopped being fun, or playing naked stopped being fun?

Also, was going to run Halfling Druid, but Halflings can't be Tunare, not sure I want to be shoehorned into Karana, or having butt merchant buy/sell prices cause of crap Charisma.

I happen to like the way armor looks on the Wood Elf, so I'll probably stick to Wood Elf for my Druid. Honestly, I think the only mistake you can make is picking Half Elf, because of their butt Wisdom.

As someone who has both a 60 ranger and 60 druid, I can tell you the plat will go much farther on a ranger as far as actually making a difference. Once you start quading on the druid a bigger mana pool definitely helps but a shit geared ranger can't even solo blues, a shit geared druid can still quad.

Hence why I'm trying to upgrade my weapons with the plat I have. I feel I can play a Druid comfortably with just some HP jewelry and maybe a cheap weapon. By the time I get into porting levels I'll have saved up enough from killing High Keep guards, sisters, etc, to afford anything I need.

And if I can, I'd rather farm my own Withered Leather in The Hole, either solo or with a decent group, and save the money. Plain leather isn't that bad.

Starting naked with no advantage items is a real slog. Good luck.

Well, how are people going to start twinked when Green resets?

I'm probably gonna send my pally with some cash to EC tomorrow and shop for the starting gear I want. For 5k I'm looking to get an Oakleaf Scimitar, Crystal Chitin Shield, 2 65HP rings, 2 25HP/35Mana Earrings, and a Frozen Orb. The rest of my slots can just be Leather until I can afford to buy, or am strong enough to go farm, Withered Leather.

I figure if I want to play a fresh character, I'll have a chance to soon once Green resets. That would be the time.
