My apologies, Shelza, I was too quick to judge your intentions there.
However I still think Harrick is far better off ignoring equipment for the
moment. The best equipment he could save up for right now would be:
Onyx earrings (2 agi) 5pp or so from Blackburrow
Spiked collar (ac3 3str) 5pp or so from Blackburrow
Lockjaw vest (ac12 5sta) 20-30pp from Oasis
Bracer of erolisi (ac5 5str) 25-30pp from Ocean of Tears
The Wu's gauntlets is not worth the money for him right now.
To be perfectly honest, Shelza, cured silk can stay in a lot of locations on a
monk until he or she hits the planes. Swap out to gear that gives you better
AC/HP than cured as you can afford it, but it's only going to make a
marginal improvement in combat performance for each piece of armor you
trade out. Levels and skills are what this game is really about.
