Good advice. Thanks to those who replied! Think I'll focus on making it to
17 then see what I can afford. The Dirk will get me that far.

3) Do I have a chance at skipping it and camping for a PGT before 20?

Pinen: LOL, appreciate the blunt truth )

"Unless you get a group to help you camp the PGT spawn, it will be almost
impossible for you to get a PGT by yourself. <snip> The going rate for a PGT
on E'ci is around 300PP if
you don't want to camp for it."

Galtin: No way I can afford that today. But appreciate the camping advice.
Already noticed the group benefit last night in a FFA battle (bards and
shamans rock!)

"Depends on the jerk ratio on your server. On Karana it's
seemingly forever camped by kill stealers and casters who
can't use it (hint - write down their names, and never group
with them once you get the mana song)."

John Kim: Excellent idea. I've found that to be true in other areas as well.
When you discover a player is just self-serving and gives nothing, not even
a thanks, I think the best response is to ignore them. You can't teach these
people anything, and they are more than happy to escalate a confrontation
with posturing, profanity, and character-defaming shouts. Wit and wisdom are
lost on them, so why bother wasting the gift of your presence on such as
they? : )
