This may be somewhat of an unusual request, but here is my story. I started playing a druid when I first started playing EQ. Got him to level 50, and then friends started to play the game, and I decided to switch to their server, giving away all my items on my druid. Now, years later, I'm interested in starting up playing my Druid on Quellious again, but the only problem is that he's basically lvl 50 and completely naked and broke hehe. Any suggestions on the best way to get into the swing of equipping myself? I'm not looking for any power gamer equipment, just something to get me started. I was thinking of maybe trying to get along on some greed fear raids for some Thorny Vine, seeing as it was one of my main goals when I originally played him =), but I never got lucky enough for any to drop when I was up there. Thanks for reading and any suggestions are welcome.

You could farm giants or guards in HHK if you don't mind the faction. It may take a few hours but you can make a few k that way.

You can always go to UP and loot Elysian armor. Don't think you could do it alone so bring a friend or just as if anyone is killing to let you loot.

Once you have some gear you could do Ldon and get points for no drop gear. Nice items also drop from named for druids, sometimes.

You could go on PU raids and try to get items. Don't know how often they raid old world zones.

Focus Effects - Mana Preservation/Improved Healing/Spell Haste/Improved Damage IV. ID isn't needed as much as others but it helps and fun to have. Think I'm missing a few too.

Ears: Xanthe's Earring and Solstice Earring. Can buy them for 2-5k.
Neck: Polished Smoothmetal Torque. Can get in PoI easy or bought in bazaar for a few plat. Culture.
Face: Look stuff up? Lol
Head: Bellows Crafted Cap. Also PoI or bought in bazaar for a few plat. Culture.
Rings: Shadel Bandit Ring or Circled Toe Bones and Ring of Thunderous Spirits. A few hundred plat each.
Wrists: Culture (more ideas.. ><)
Arms: Elysian or Culture
Hands: Coldain or Moss Covered Handwraps. Few k or could just grab Elysian also.
Shoulders: Pauldrons of Witness, Probably a k or so in bazaar. Shawl of the Firewalker, a few kay maybe?
Chest: Boiled Ciruass from PoI Prototypes (also a few nice no drop items too if you ever kill them) if not, a few k in bazaar or Elsyian. Culture.
Back: Moss-Covered, Hooded Cape of Summoning Rites, Acrylia Studded. Lots of items for this slot, just look around.
Waist: Culture (more ideas please :D )
Legs: Elysian, Divine Marked, Culture armor.
Boots: Eylsian, Captive Coin Stone Sandals, Culture. There are a lot of new choices for boots.
Primary: Epic, Spiked Skull Mace, Tome of Winds Wisdom. bleh.. getting into expensive stuff. Just look up cheap items, lol.
Secondary: Same as primary, look stuff up. Running out of cheap ideas. Rusting Hero is cheap though and decent.
Range: I'm hoping someone else will give you advice.

Anyways, good luck on remaking your druid. :thumbup:

Well, you also have your home city newbie quests and some quests in PoK for level two focus items. All that is basicaly free. Once you have "something" in each slot, you could scoot over to Natimbi and try root rotting over there for a few quest pieces; a necklace of sea pearls and then kikki's recipe book. Like was already said, a few hours farming giants will get you some cash then go to the bazaar and pickup anything cheap with wisdom on it until you get 255. Quad kiting wyverns in CS from 50 to 55 should build up your cash supply if you sell the skins. You always have LDoNs too, like was said. Try to build your own groups with guys that are at the upper end of your level range; you 50, them 57. You get better loot drops that way. Good luck.

waist:chitinous belt, knotted wire (you can get chitinous on the cheap i think)
you can go RMB's probably for cheap on the wrist slots.
face: crystal spider eyes, mask of mummy wrappings,
shoulders:I enjoy my shawl of the firewalker and it can be soloed really easily.

Lol, you and me both.

I too revived my old nekkid druid and found out that INT 154 is nothing
to be proud of. However, I don't want to spend much $$ since this will be my alt - so I am looking for really cheap bazaar items (thanks for suggestions mentioned so far) or for items I can quest or camp myself. If anyone has any suggestions where to go (can use my lvl 58 necro to camp stuff too) thanks in advance.

I will try to do quests in PoK for focus items. Can't beat the price :)
For old times sake, I did Testament of Vanear quest yesterday. Nobody was camping Dylin Starshine, he was there just waiting for me to kill him
:rolling:


Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Take the necro and the druid into Umbral Plains and work on some Elysian for the druid.

2 boxing these two character should be easy and all the Elysian armor is fairly decent and best of all free, you just need to put some time into it
