Banded armor?
New to p99 and the green server. Found it on YouTube and thought I would give it a go. Starting with a troll shaman . Read where a guy use to give banded armor for free but figure that too good to be true so thought I would ask here instead of run from Grobb to EC. How much does a set run? And what's the best way to get a set? Farm bone chips? Thanks

Fellow new player here. I sat in EC for a few hours hoping for some handouts and I can say, forget it on Green server. Not only does no one seem to care much about the plight of noobs, but the server economy seems pretty inflated compared to Blue. Not only did no one offer any low level gear while I was in EC, no one would even bother tossing a buff on me, not even when I was fighting mobs right in front of them at the tunnel
One time a nice rogue came over and bandaged me as I was bleeding dying from rattlesnake poison. Thank God for that, because I was bound in greater faydark lol. I was just killing mobs in EC waiting to see if someone was going to do a giveaway to noobs, and I certainly wasn’t going to beg for items. After a while I just gave up Green server seems ultra competitive. People play a lot, and I think they assume that a lot of the noobs they are seeing won’t stick around. Maybe it’s from experience, I dunno I never got any help, so I had to do everything myself. I was able to save up and buy 30pp worth of higher level spells I’d need from Highkeep in advance (because the run there sucks) by concentrating farming low blue con mobs to deliberately stretch out the level and allow me to make more plat. In particular in gfaydark there is a wasp which has a good chance to drop venom sacs which vendor for 3g apiece. That and vendoring cloth armor drops were the best way I could make money. Right off the bat as soon as you get some money, invest in a bunch of backpacks or large boxes to carry more stuff to vendor No one wants your crushbone belts and no one gives a crap about your bonechips. That’s been my experience on Green server. So vendoring items becomes your best bet. Get in the mindset of not relying on other players for anything | ||

To OP: People buy bone chips. Just gotta be patient with selling. They also buy High Quality Bear Skins. Farm those and you'll raise enough plat for a set of banded. The standard price for a set is 90p, or figure about 1 plat per AC on the pieces. I wouldn't worry too much about banded though at your level. Buy your spells first. A set of rawhide armor will server you just fine until level 20 given your class and race regen. Welcome to the server! | |||

It was more of an attitude there of “please new players stick around”. P99 Greem is so busy and popular it really doesn’t matter. That’s why you did the /violin. This is essentially the culture of Green as I’m seeing it. “If you don’t like it, there’s the door buddy. You are irrelevant to us”. It just means the server is doing well. And I’m assuming people don’t want to give away stuff to someone they don’t know who possibly won’t be continuing to play, then the stuff just sits there rotting useless Just pointing out how server populations effect server culture. And the reason I mentioned the thing about no one wanting bone chips was all day when I was playing not only did no one seem interested in my auctions, nor anyone else's auctions, which usually were pretty reasonable I'm assuming of 2pp for stack of 20 bonechips. Nor did anyone seem particularly interested in crushbone belts. Just an observation, but maybe it was an off day | |||

people don't give handouts very often but don't let that discourage you.
I've given stuff to noobies before, mostly in a guild. Once you find a nice plat camp spot make about 500-800pp and you get your first decent character you will be happy. People might expect more armor and equipment from you but as long as you have banded or bronze, hp/ac rings and some weapons you should survive. I don't like to do it much either but you need to make a farming caster first unless you start on a fresh server where all melee/tanks have bad gear. | ||

I’m not complaining, just warning someone as to what to expect. I didn’t go to EC to beg for handouts, I was passing through it on my way to high keep to buy spells with my own money, and I figured I’d hang around for a few hours to see if anyone was offering free or really cheap items for noobs (at that time I only had 30pp saved). Never once did I beg for a single coin or gear nor will I ever. I was able to save 3,000pp by level 16 on my first p99 char. I don’t need anyone’s help for exp, pp, or for free items, ever. Regardless I’m going to tell another noob how it is on this server, or would you rather I lie and say yes I saw tons of banded armor and other noob item giveaways in EC? Edit: I already have rod of glamour, crude stein, and Moggok stein which I probably won’t ever use bc crude is better | |||
