Basic Gear
This is like the most-basic crap you could stick onto an AV as a basis so that they can go get better gear. If you just AV'd and don't really know what you're doing, go get this stuff. Most of this can be gotten solo once you have a well dressed character - for your first go round you should ask for help or try multi'ing with a few chars to make it easier on yourself. Also -- a LOT of this gear will be found in guild donation boxes.
- Finger: the shade ring, scorched band of glass
- Neck: a golden torque, scales of alpha & omega
- Body: adamantium plate armor
- Head: the shade helm, obsidian helmet
- Legs: eltor hide leggings
- Feet: a pair of duck boots
- Hands: fingerless silk gloves, gauntlets of red dragonhide
- Arms: silver dragonhide armguards, batwings
- Shield: shield of the Valkyrie, huge shield of oak
- About: cloak of Death, cloak of Demons, cloak of Light
- Waist: the Ice Girth
- Wrist: spiked leather wristguard, a bracer of fire, crystal dragon bracer
- Held: Storm, the matrix of desolution
- Ears: crystalline teardrop, stapes of the lich
- Eyes: the shades, visor of light
- Back: a thick piece of lizard hide
- Face: an ancient mask, the facade of the Hannya
- Ankle: a blue glassy chain, a turquoise anklet, a demonskin ankle bracer
Methodology
Upon reaching level 50, you should open the EQ Database and build your character in there.
If you are starting from scratch and don't have access to a guild donation chest, you will want to first spec out the best attainable leveling gear you can get so that you're at least wearing decent stuff (typically level 30-50 with high DR/HP/AC).
Once you have proper high-level-lowbie gear, you can then pursue upgrades of each slot until you are wearing most of the basic avatar gear.
Please note: A LOT of the basic AV gear can be found in guild donation chests, so it behooves you to join a guild. Upon reaching AV you can then just go scan donations and I bet you find a lot of the basic av gear in there so you won't have to run around and gather as much.
Example
Here's an example for Paladin that shows moving from leveling gear into the basic Avatar gear.
| Wearloc | Leveling Gear | Basic AV Gear | ||

| <worn on feet> | silver boots of Camelot | a pair of duck boots | ||
| <worn on hands> | dragon's gloves | steel gauntlets | ||
| <worn on arms> | Castellan's sleeves | silver dragonhide armguards | ||
| <worn as shield> | Battlehammer clan shield | bronze shield | shield of the Valkyrie | |
| <worn about body> | *'s chimera cloak | The cloak of Death | ||
| <worn about waist> | old leather belt | blue metal chain | the Ice Girth | |
| <worn about wrist> | lion-crested wristguard | a spiked leather wristband | bracer of light | |
| <wielded> | Soulslayer | Maul of Stone | A sword with the king's crest | |
| <worn on ears> | sailor's earring | sliver of glass | a crystalline teardrop | |

Mana Slut Gear
For mage/cleric spell bots who only buff and never fight, whore yourself out for cheap and easy mana:
- a necklace of raven feather
- a silver and turquoise bracelet
- Memories of Spring
- the Ice Earrings
Weapons
Ideally you wanna eventually get a weapon that matches your highest weapon type proficiency.
Some real basic starting points are:
- Aug/Fat/Ran/Cle: The Dragon Claw of Legend
- Vamp/Thief/Mage/Neph: Soulslayer, Lord Kahl's Thievesblade, Darkness
- Warrior/Paladin: a sword with the kings crest, Shieldbreaker, Maul of Stone
The only other consideration is that for magic casters, you might just wanna go with something that is high mana and who cares about weapon type because you won't really be doing much damage with physical attacks anyhow. Dragon Claw of Legend is the highest mana weapon that's easy to get. Also, a staff of chiseled obsidian is good for casters even if it doesn't match their best proficiency. For example, Mages and Nephandi's might wanna go with one of those just for the mana.
