I scavenge equipment to sell from level 1. It does not take much time because stuff is left on the ground in a great deal of the game. You can sell Trash, Misc, Furniture, Booze, bags, drink containers, food meaning anything at all. Places like Azuremain are always a VERY nice haul and if you don't actually need the coin it would feel like a waste. Observation and Explore are more worth y
This is why flurry should be toned down. People don't want to play a game, they want guaranteed explosive damage that kills or permanent lag that traps.
I almost always use late bloomer, to get to the +1 wisdom. It frees up an early train. By the time I hit old (if I do) the wisdom does not matter and is covered by a piece of eq I already wear if it does.
Side note: When did age equipment stop becoming permanent? Kinda weird.
