It’s worth pointing out that you may be surprised how quickly plat adds up over time. I’m the definition of a filthy casual. I spent about a year raiding on p1999 to get some odds and ins for most of my characters, but in no way go hard.

What items I have (a Narandi crown for instance) I bought with plat that I just slowly accumulated. The thing about p1999 is it isn’t going anywhere. We’re stuck in this timeline until the devs decide to stop running the server, which doesn’t appear to be any time soon.

I spend almost zero time actually farming, and just occasionally pick up an item like a Hiero cloak here, a Torp scroll there, slowly but surely building plat just running fun groups with friends. I’m not saying prioritize anything, but never say “I’ll never have that item” just because in the early days, before you even have one 60, it seems impossible. I’ve been on the server since 2009 and have leveled lots of alts, and gotten gear I’d never have expected, just because of the amount of time I’ve spent in game. I play maybe 10 hours total over the course of 2 weeks, and have for years. But over the years, that little bit of time really adds up. I’ve even taken a couple hiatus from game. My most recent for 3 years between 2019-2022

Heck, half the plat I’ve earned was while leveling a new alt and picking up some fancy item while leveling. I’ve snagged a T-staff, a Torp scroll and multiple Hiero cloaks over the years, most on alts that weren’t even level 60.

Again, not pressuring you to farm or raid. I also don’t really enjoy either of those things, but somehow, over time, I’ve acquired things

I rolled an erudite sk and didn't find any race specific stuff. The cultural armor is neat but would be a big hassle to actually source at this point. Raiding here is pretty bad but you might enjoy pick up plane of sky raids regardless of joining a guild or going for loot. I saw you don't want to raid at all but sky does have a different vibe kind of like how hate and fear clears used to be pre velious. You progress through the zone and usually the raids are smaller so do require ppl to coordinate and pitch in. Seems like with a 59 Necro you could group in places like crypt or chardok etc and definitely accumulate pp over time for cool items. Narandi crown is not the way to go though, literally never wore it on my 60 paladin which is part of the reason I made an alt to throw it on. Your attitude toward raiding seems justified but an aversion to farming ppl via solo or group content on a content locked server that has been out for over a decade seems counter productive. You will accumulate that 50-100k eventually if you do actually just enjoy playing p99 in group or solo environments.

Ya i went blue prexus pally. Looks badass. Fungi actually somewhat "matches" which is neat. The problem is when you start upgrading beyond cultural as others have pointed out, you start to look really weird.

If ya go blue pally, you can rock fungi and be ok. Otherwise, never take off cultural armor on erudite.

Agreed. And we should all agree.. Erudite SK's/Clerics/Pallys should always rock cultural...
