By all means keep the crested spalders they are a high level item and =
for you to have it at level 18 is great it's worth a lot more then a bs =
mantle. One other thing I suggest you do is get another pair of bronze =
bracers the ac to weight ratio is actually extremly great for bronze =
probably the best bronze pieces you can buy. If anything don't get arms =
as a bracer has better ac and less weight then the arms. Anyway just =
some suggesitons.

Neaumin Level 7 Wood Elf Bard
Naeeldar Dark Elf Necromancer of the 35th Level

Yesterday, as I was about to Log off for the night A level 2 Enchanter =
was offering 30pp for a Sow at the Qeynos Gates. I gave him a tell and =
was offered 100pp to take him from Qeynos to Rivervale to be twinked =
there by his level 50 char :). Of course I accepted the offer and we =
ran down to Rivervale, in the end he died once and had to take the boat =
back across the Ocean from Erudin but eventually we got there safely and =
I was 100pp richer.
Today, as a further reward for my services the player logged on as his =
level 50 cleric and asked me to meet him at the Freeport Bank. When I =
arrived he gave me the following for my help previously: A pair of =
Bronze Bracers, Elf Hide Gloves, Crested Spaulders. I promptly thanked =
him and he left saying thanks. As he was leaving a level 50 warrior in =
the bank was selling a Jagged Band for 50pp, so I telled him and =
purchased my new peice of jewelery immediately. I then sold my old =
Amber ring, the 2 bronze bracers (too heavy for their ac), and my old =
Rusty Spiked shoulders to a Bard friend of mine for 40pp. After that I =
met the Cleric again and he needed help buying spells for his Enchanter =
at the Caster Guild because everyone was dubious to him. I helped him =
there and once again thanked him for his earlier gifts. So now, I am =
wondering if The Crested Spaulders ac:11 +6sta are good for me to use, =
or maybe I can trade it for things like A pair of Golden Amber earrings, =
a Second Jagged band, Bloodstained Mantle, A runed Bone Fork etc. I am =
happy with my current Dual Weilding of a Barbed Leather whip and Dragoon =
dirk, so I think that Armor is the way to go.
Any help in this subject would be wonderful.
