Well, for player made stuff the IT items are
ring,necklace,necklace,ring(silver, electrum, gold, plat) and the plat is
really expensive...if it's any good to you i'm lvl 21 and i'm going to be
getting a set of silver +2 int rings to replace my silver mana rings (at
~20 the extra mana from the added int is greater than what the mana rings
give you)
If i were you i'd see about getting a pair of silver INT rings and a
electrum INT necklace...
oh, and check out www.graffe.com for a good listing of helpful wizard
items..(it's also probibly the best wizard site out there...thoguh
eq.castersrealm.com is also good)

Yeah, i do that too...though it does come back to you eventually...i just
recently benafitted from the same thing on a higher level...got a shear
bone mask (+3 int and a decent ac) from a really nice really high level
enchanter...

persionally i just tell them to pay me what they think it's worth if they
ask..true you dont' make much from it, but sometimes you get lucky...and
sometimes you make a friend..believe it or not a lot of folks will rember
little things like binding them for free...reputation does mean something,
especially when you get to higher levels..

not counting the player made jewlery i'd say in your 20' up...
at least that's the point where you start to really be able to kill stuff
that drops decent magical items...you'll probibly start making enough coin
to buy magical stuff from the mid teens on..oh, and a suggestion, get a
dragoon dir instead of a runed totem staff...while you don't melee much
at higher levels, your better off having your decent melee skill being
somthing one handed(piercing would be my choice if i had it to do
again...)
