Subject: Re: What a difference 10 months makes (OT)


Heh I get accused of twinking my bard. I have several bronze, FS spear,
blood-stained mantle, 2 oppaline earrings and two jagged bands. The
irony is I came to Veeshan so I couldn't twink, Elfson (17) is my
highest character (I have a 16 cleric also). People have been genorous
and gave me my FS spear (at lvl 3, that ruled!) and the bronze breast
plate (actually the nice wood elf bard who gave it to me gave me a small
one, bu t I was soon able to trade it for a medium). Othen than that I
have bought it all myself. I don think people realize with the aging of
servers, how amazing cheap low level items have become. I make platinum
(for buying items which cost 20ish P) easily enough killing oasis orcs
and dervishes (I usually buy all the bronze that drops for about half
the high price I get for it due to my high CHA, and the group is
perfectly happy to let me have it). Actually Elfson has partially
twinked my cleric by getting a good deal on a foreman's tunic (100p) and
buying it for him... Then again people see him (in mostly leather) and
don't think twice. But with the foreman's tunic, Shiny shield,
Bullsmasher, thich leather apron I think he has better equipment right
now...
