Hit/Dam/Saves/AC

Is it possible to obtain a good amount of hit/dam/saves/ac gear without going into any of the (NEEDS AN ARMY TO AID YOU) factions?

yes, I usally wait till they get back from said faction, and gut them...trying not to get to much gore on the shiney gear they got for me.

Honestly though, you can get a pretty hefty suit going from all soloable areas...problem is, those items are the ones that are never around.

"Outfit" gives a pretty balanced suit.

Well, tried playing the warrior class, haven't made it to 50 yet, however it seems this is way to hard of a class to start with "As most people said in the essays". However, I love the class and their skill set, and nice set of warrior lore options to choose from, but I can never find the gear to support it. I have ended up just running what I'm pretty sure is below 25 ranked gear for a lvl 40 warrior. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent just looking for new weapons and armor. But it seems a lost cause. Some people will gladly help you find some good stuff, but its never there. Is there a class besides the healer who can effectively fight against others without high end gear? (And where is this stuff at?!) I look at everyone trying to see if there is something better to get and my mind gos blank. You all probably think I'm am the biggest Noob, lol

As a warrior you can get almost all eq, even the high end stuff, alone. You should be fine in steel and even blood, just need a bit of help with deso and gear.

None of these are really absolutely necessary to get a good starter set, esp at 40.

Just ask some of the pinned warriors around to have a look at you and make suggestions as to what you should get. Personally, I usually get a suit around 30ish and then don't change much if any till pinned. Better not get a couple mob deaths to find some rare someone will just want to pk you for pre 50.

Really a warrior can solo most any area barring the insanely difficult mobs. You just have to be smart, careful, and prepared. You have to have an escape strategy, and know when to use it. If you stick to your rules, and are careful about what you do then you will be fine.

When I was coming up my warriors I usually got gear from killing other people. It took years to figure out where alot of the good eq was and even longer learning how to get there alone or with a group. Everytime I would learn a new and good piece of gear I'd roll a new warrior.

You are doomed.

Better off playing a mage.

Even mages need wares... Better off not playing at all I guess ::insert::here::

Or, I can just walk around in Mithril all day!

Warr with a powered gripped polearm master = mob solo.. shoot with a bow to solo groups.

Ok Polk, tell me your Race/Aligment, so that I an devise you a set of easydom.

I would substitute warrior for almost any class in the game and the above would hold true imo.

Winter has alot of good equipment in the easy to get to areas, and most classes can solo all of steel, and blood I would imagine. I have done it with several.

Same with most of Dischord, the first part, not desolation. I forget which is which all the time. hah.

Always use a weapon they don't know.

If the class is a mage, get a detect magic potion and check when protective shield falls. Dance until then, then BASH!!!

If it's another class, just bash from start. Doing good?

Eat enlarge and bash harder.

You don't want them using spells/skills.

Keep watch for disarms.

Well this is basic gear and things. If you have this then we can try to advance to more dangerous rares, like Topaz+Arena gear.

Arena gear is good and socketable. Grab the small charm from Halfling Hamlet to add a little extra.

Hold on...there is a new goblin area? Where was I when that memo went out?

Hold on...there is a new goblin area? Where was I when that memo went out?

It replaced the pyramid. There were notes about it and whatnot.

Oh... I knew that. Just haven't taken that walk yet I guess.

When you are confortable with that stuff. Get a veteran to show you how to get a Topaz socket from the Volcano. You will die if you don't know what you are doing.

TIP: Take a recall to leave the Volcano. Have more 2 in backpack.

Then head to the arena. "31f9dv"

Try to get the +2/+0 SOCKETABLE RARE sleeves and Leggings.

Then "2h9c87" for a +2/+1 SOCKET RARE -1 DEX/STR gloves.

thank you, lots of helpful info... I'm sure I can stick with alot of that just to finish to 50 at least, then go from there.
