Hello all,

I am on a mission today for STR increasing items (my base STR is 75 eeeuoo). I have heard people like Shada talk about a purity belt. What is it, how much is it, and where can I get one? Also I was wondering, besides rubicite, is there another armor that has the very high AC and yet is light? Is mesh an option for bards? What exactly is mesh anyway? I've heard many Looking to buy's but I don't believe I've ever actually noticed anyone wearing it.

And my gripe of the day -- TWINKING HAS BECOME RAMPANT ON EROLLISI MARR!!!!! I saw a lvl 5 bard yesterday walking through Freeport with a full suit of bronze plate. That's just silly. He said a friend gave it to him, nice gift.

On the other hand, my real life brother-in-law just started about 3 days ago. No sooner had his new character spawned at the Freeport gates than some lvl 20+ came up and handed him a FS Rapier, asked if he wanted a 2H instead and then waved and ran off almost before I could tell him how to say thank you.

So scratch the gripe unless it is an extreme case. I guess I'm just bent because my bank account hovers between 5 and 20pp constantly so there's no way I could buy plate or any other really cool items yet.
