Err, we wizards wear only clothes. Weapon is quite useless for us too
since we sux in melee - our lvl lceiling is only 3+3/lvl. So at lvl 20,
the most we can only have melee skill of 63. Armor mean nothing much to
us, coz full clothes armor only add less than 20ac to us. When I die at
orc camp, I normally memo all spells b4 I go get for my corpse. Wearing
nothing doesn't reduce my ac too much, same for my offensive ability coz I
depend on my spells 95% of the time. Imagine my worn great stuff only hit
14 max per hit, while my spell hit max 45 (at lvl 8, and at lvl 20 we can
blast 100 over dam per cast). For wiz, there is no such thing as
well-balance weap. The only true weap we got is our spells ;)
Btw, so far didnt come across any patchwork armors, can wiz wear that too?
I've been wearing clothes so far, and can get quite easily from dwarf
skeletons/orcs cen. Of coz, compare to monk who doesnt wear or hold much
stuffs, they death is 'cheaper' in the sense that they can afford not to
recover their corpse and start afresh elsewhere, hehe.
So far I never asked any pple for armor/weap after I died - since they
doesn't help much and I'm prepare to die again in the course of retrieving
my corpse, hehe, so dun waste others' money ;)
The only thing I hate is to travel to and fro to buy food/drink. Best if I
can team with cleric or magi or wood-elf coz they can provide free food.
H/w, I've just shifted house last wekkend and now my house is in a mess -
no phone line, PC not assemble yet, no table etc. Guess I have to stop EQ
for a week. Hopefully u guys dun increase lvl too much, so that I can
still group with u guys, hahahahahahahah ;-?
