Quoted from "sewerpipe;528624"

I took a 6+ month hiatus and literally just logged back into the game tonight. I sold/gave away everything in my possession before I left, so I am essentially naked. I'm more less looking for advice from any players who have done this in the past as to what was easiest/fastest way you found to climb back into the saddle and get geared up?

Toon is a 67 Scout.

Not exactly gave away everything, but came back and the stuff I was wearing was essentially worthless, think I started with stating up a pair of wings with shell stats, weapon next, pretty much the same as your goals when initially gearing up.

Knowing people is really helpful though, makes it a lot easier to get stuff, also getting max level since you dropped before cap is important so that you can wear the best weapon.

EDIT: Oh also buying hand-me downs while stating your own gear is a good idea too.

I've taken a few breaks from RoM myself, plus I am a server hopper.
What seems to work best is aiming for some "old" gear first. I always have to push myself to do that, especially when I start on a new server because I have this mentality of "Oh I had endgame gear on the last server, I should just jump right back into some endgame gear here too." But really due to the economy that's really impractical. Either you spend weeks just trying to get the gold to buy that kind of gear or you spend about the same time collecting endgame stats to do it yourself... it's not fun. Just start with some older gear that's relatively cheap... maybe some RT-level stuff and the DS/ZS set with crimson stats. Then use that gear as a leg up to farm the actual endgame gear that you're used to having. It goes faster that way.

Sell dog meat and shell stats (the ones you won't be using) for quick gold. Save shell stats you want to use + do the public events at Tergothen Bay as soon as you're capable. That way you won't have to spend as much when you stat your own gear up again. Hit 70 if you can, at least on 1 class. Make sure you're with a guild that's running instances (obviously).

That's about it. That method has always worked for me really well and gets me to where I want to be within a short amount of time. Hope it helps
