Basic AV Gear
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. Nearly all of this can be gotten solo.

- Neck: a golden torque, scales of alpha & omega
- Body: adamantium plate armor
- Head: the shade helm, obsidian helmet
- Legs: eltor hide leggings

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.
