Ok, So starting Monday, I'll be back on EQ after Misc problems forced me to leave without warning early december. I managed to log in, get screen shots of Myself with Luclin models on, then My boss wouldn't let me play at work anymore, and I didn't have a computer at the time, so I was screwed. then I lost my job, and couldn't afford to play ar anything. Now I'm almost back... Just gotta finish building the system. Finally am financially stable enough to get back. I'll be playing off and on at a few friends houses until I get my machine put together.

Now the fun begins. My guild self destructed, (high level guilds with loot problems do that... =P) and I don't know who remembers me. I only remember like 3 people, Since I Moved to AB, played for about a month, then ran into problems, couldn't play anymore, and well, I don't know anyone. I need to get up to par with gear, and AA. I think I have like 1 yellow in AA. heh... I already have my plans on that tho... First 3 in Run, then Mental clarity 3, then SCM, and SCF, and MGB. Then Innate Camo, maybe exodus, and We'll see from there.

About My gear. The magelo profile is what I have on, or in the bank, and I modified it to reflect what I will be wearing the minute I log back in. I've paid attention to the updates to the game for the most part, and I lucked out tremendously having the Coldain Wristguard in the bank, and I was Wearing a ODS. let me just say this now, I KNOW MY CLOAK SUCKS.... I wore it simply because I had a Cloak of the Maelstrom, but I sold it, and I'm only wearing the Kunzar for the 10FR. I'm hopefully going to be getting a Hierophant cloak, or something decent to tide me over till I get that or equal. any suggestions on what may be good until I can afford the Hiero are gladly accepted.

Basically, I have a ROUGH idea of what I want in my "Soon..." profile, and you can see what I'm wearing in my main profile which is... www.magelo.com/eq_view_pr...?num=16074 (http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=16074)
Pretty decent gear, but I know it needs work. I have a bit of work to do before I'm capable of being guilded again, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance for all your help.
(oh, please try to mention where these Items come from, as I may not know it from luclin. anything preluclin I should prettymuch know.... I think =P heh.)

I looked at your "Soon" profile.

You should definitely work on those earrings, as you have them listed.

Shadel Bandit Ring is a possibility.

Face...Elysian Death Mask or something higher.

Range, back, and other ring you got covered.

You might consider saving up for an OOIV and use your current shield situationally. /shrug OOIVs have come down a lot in price on most old servers.

Honestly, your gear is good enough that it won't be holding you back any. It's not like you have all leather or something...

As for some quick & easy upgrade suggestions, things you can buy easily or get solo or in a small group:<ul><li>Hierophant's Cloak (Sebilis)
<li>Earring of the Solstice/Xanthe's Earring of Nature (quest, costs about 15K each)
<li>Divine Inspiration for the range slot (Maiden's Eye)
<li>Bone Braced Buckler (The Grey)
<li>Elysian armor (Umbral Plains)
<li>Any number of decent masks (Golem's Jawbone from the Grey, Elysian mask from Umbral Plains, Tae Ew mask & Dreadfang mask from CT)
<li>Shadel bandit ring (Fungus Grove)
<li>Bracer of Sense (Umbral Plains)</ul>You could also just go your Bazaar, and do some searches for DRU equipment with WIS, HP, or whatever stat floats your boat. The advantage of that method is that you can buy/see stats on the spot, and you can pick up some good deals on decent equipment to hold you over until you get something better.
