New Cleric Gear?

Krelkain · #1 10-26-2016, 03:29 PM

Hey guys. I popped on Project 1999 a long time ago to get a taste. Now me and my brother are looking to invest the time and get into it more amply.

I was wondering what a good starter set of armor and a starter weapon would be for a Dark Elf Cleric? I'm level 5 so far. I've gathered stacks of bone chips and spider silk for some cash.

Thanks guys!

Whatever you can get your hands on. Plus as much wis gear naps you can find.

Get your spells first, they're cheap to begin with, but when you get to levels 9 and 14, they start to get expensive, so try to make sure that you have plat for them first.

Sharkbone Warhammer is a good cleric 1hb that can be had for 50pp, I'd get one of those after you think you have enough plat for the next set of spells.

A set of banded armor will cost 90pp, but a set of leather from a merchant can be had for about 25pp and would probably suffice until you get to around level 20 as long as you don't get hit too much and by then you'll have a better idea of what's available to you in terms of things you can save for and things you can get on your own.

Early levels, +Mana and +HP items are going to help you more than +Wis items. A Chipped Bone Collar can be had for 10pp, it's +10 hp/mana. Golden Jaded Bracelet is +15 mana/hp and about 30pp. There's other cheap +hp/mana gear to be had, just keep your eyes peeled for it. +Wis gear doesn't really become desirable over +mana/hp until around level 30 or so when it starts giving more mana per point.

This is good advice. If you hunt in places like unrest and mistmoore you will be able to pick up ringmail and small bronze so don't worry so much about filling every slot. If you hunt in these zones there are also items that will drop that no one will likely want like the bloodstone eyepatch, bloodstained tunic, bloodstained mantle, savants cap ect...

Wisdom have very low effect on your manapool at lower levels like someone else mentioned. If you are looking to buy items I would look for slots where it will be hard to find an upgrade on your own like jewelery spots.

For new clerics, this weapon is great!

Sometimes you can find them rotting due to high levels OR send a message to me on Fri Sat Sun late nights and I will come get you one for free.

Cleric life is great! I hope you like it, too.

This is a great item to have.

Don't focus on AC so much, you'll be encumbered easily. Grab some leather or banded when you can (bronze is too heavy.)

you can comfortably level a cleric 1-60 naked, don't worry about gear too bad. just get exp and level up. any time you waste in EC tunnel auctioning is time you could be getting exp and progressing. unless the gear you get speeds this progression up more than you spent auctioning and farming, it isn't worth it and you can go a long way before this happens. don't worry about it until you're over lvl 50.

its worth it to buy some banded armor and a basic weapon like a sharkbone warhammer so you can train 1hb in your spare time. beyond that don't bother.

go to mistmoore and get some small bronze drops from the trash mobs as you level to fill slots. save your plat for spells, and save any excess you get for jboots. after you get jboots, fill some empty slots with jewelcrafter items. detour to split paw at some point while you're leveling, and maybe the ogres in karanas there's some good leveling gear there which you can acquire in under an hour. do that innoruk symbol quest and consider some of the other cleric class quests (some are NOT worth it) 50+ if you don't have any gear still, pick up a set of jarsath scale while leveling in seb and grab a tainted battleworn morning star rot. save your plat for bracer of the hidden and spells. fill your slots with basic shitty gear, but don't drop more than 1-2k on any slot unless you're purchasing a top tier droppable like lodi shield or something.

theres probably some juicy and easy to get drops i'm forgetting, but i haven't played in almost a year. but it won't matter if you miss em

just focus on getting to velious levels that's where you'll start getting gear. don't waste your time and plat on things you won't use 50+.

Thank you everyone for your advice and feedback it's been really, really helpful. Everyone has been nice in the community in the game, too. It's rocking and I'm having a good time.

If anyone has any lowbies and you'd like me to play with you, drop me a message @ Krelkain in game. I'm level 9 now.
