The idea of trying to organize groups that are interested in farming solid warrior weapons is a bit daunting, haha. You have to convince a group of people to travel to some faraway place (risky), then hope the camp isn't taken by another person or group, then hope the placeholder isn't there, then try to justify the fact that you likely won't be in a good EXP camp to pass the time.

Warriors are gonna need some serious TLC from their guilds / friends to make it in Green, haha [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And we have virtually no way to pay it back except with the promise that we'll be solid tanks in the end.

You'll be wielding 2x Langseax, wearing banded and bronze if you're lucky, and drooling over rubicite.
Someone on the P99 Wiki has, annoyingly, deleted information on which mobs in CT drop Rubicite. Is it kind of like Karnor, where any random mob can drop various pieces of the set? Or do specific mobs / bosses drop specific pieces? This information would be quite handy to know.

Rubicite occupies the same drop tables as Ravenscale (the latter replaced the former in CT). Look up ravenscale and that's what'll drop the rubicite. It is regrettably not a "anything in the level range can drop it" like bronze/rawhide.

I recall Obsidian Shard being a great tank weapon, and it drops in SolA where people will be grouping anyway. Back in early P99 I went there as a warrior and got two of them in one day. It has an okay ratio and a high aggro proc, so unless something about it has changed since I had that warrior (like a decade ago), that's a great pair of weapons to aim for. They'd serve you just fine until SSoY. Only annoying thing is that they look like starter daggers so you don't feel much like a warrior.

There are a number of decent nodrop warrior weapons in sol a/b for warriors that likely will still rot.

Ah yes. The journey to acquire a rotting Painbringer. A rite of passage for any young warrior. Lots of people did that here when the server was young, including me.

I'll be after whatever I can get my hands on for the first few levels for sure.
Banded was in at the start, I want to say that the guide I used when I started playing in July of '99 was written by a beta player (he referred to a skill of 80 as "master").

Initial jewelry crafting was bizarre, it was revamped early to the system we use here (without the velious stuff), I think around the same time they added the evade ability for rogues.

Alchemy skill-ups were broken for a long time due to incompetent testing (there is no nicer description, it's not hard to get harsher about people telling you it works as intended when they only test the ability on toons assigned a skill of ~ 100.) It was basicly impossible to skill-up alchemy at first, might still be able to find discussion of it on alt.games.everquest newsgroup if that's archived somewhere.

What about the Blackened Alloy Bastard Sword from Runnyeye -- or is that not in at launch?
