When I hit 10 level I often buy full set moonstone in Evermoon.
Lowbie quests give enough gold to do that.
With this set, mage/priest protection spells and armor potion I can easily get to divine armor - which makes ranking up to 15-20 much easily.
The first problem I met as outlander wannabe - I can not buy it.
Velkyn stuff are all iron.
The second problem - lot of small stuff for practice and expensiv stuff for training.
I had to do certain quest to have full sack of barter items and food. But all this barter things are only good for practicing, not for train.
It could be fine if I could barter 10*things for some good item or training. But I understand that it will ruin all barter idea. No difference with coins..
