Subject: Re: [EverQuest] About loot order


There are some really nice people I've encountered. i started a Rogue a few
days ago. i was determined to not have her twinked. I'm running around with
no armor and just the weapon I started with... I got to lvl 2 just turning
in bardic mail without having to kill anything. Then some guy walks up and
hands me 2pp. I reluctantly took it. Then another guy came up and gave me a
Shiny Brass Shield. At first I tried to refuse but then figured I could give
it to one of my mom's alts. Then some guy started offering me splitpaw
armor. I tried to pay him for it but he wouldn't let me. So I ended up with
all this stuff by lvl 3... The gnoll hide lariat rules though. I can't
complain.
luv,
-Su
