Hey,
In order to revitalize my interest in AO I wanted to put myself trough an challenge:
Create and play a character that has no funding (or items) coming from my other characters.
I have access to armor sets like the deluxe armor which I obviously don't want to use on this character.
However, I would not have any issues with using armors like living cyber or newcomers despite them making it somewhat easier, as long as I had to work for it.
So essentially 100% genuine self-made, trade with other players is fine.
My question is:
What profession would be best for this?
There would seem to be some obvious examples here like an Martial Artist to keep the costs down. But in general things like nano crystals and implants already cost more than what your run of the mill NPC's drop during leveling and there are alot of good NoDrop weapons from places like ToTW, Foremans, S7 and Sanctum.
Regardless, there needs to be opportunity for making credits as well, tradeskilling, blitizing, camping dyna's, whatever. Preferably something I can start doing around 60 or sooner.
Something that the profession can preferably solo as generally making money is boring and it's hard to find friends for.
TL;DR:
What profession for unfunded toon, want following:
- Can kill something
- Not having to buy all imps & nano's at all times
- Possibility of free or cheap weapons while leveling
- GOOD acces to moneymaking (e.g. blitzing, tradeskilling, buffing)
