Twink Arena

Hey there, Cike here.

I was just wondering if anybody else still does(or at least attempts to do) low level arenas. It was one of the best parts of the game, and I am greatly disappointed RW killed it(yeah, right now it's about as dead as a doornail).

Well, I guess while I am here I could talk about some of the great features of low level pvp.

1) it's easy and cheap to gear a char. 30 min of PLing, and maybe 100-500k per piece(depending on whether you make or buy) of gear and you have a formidable toon to play.
1b) since making a toon is so easy, you can play multiple chars in arena depending on your mood, just have either a couple sets of gear ready to send to different chars, or keep a couple chars geared.

2) it's NOT a 2 shot game. defense can go sky high, but raw damage is limited at low level, as is crit. You can try to be a glass cannon if you want, but prepare to die fast.

3) good source of honor points. faster than the amount u get for SW for the same time if you are good.

4) it's FUN!

Thanks for reading.

If anyone wants more info, or would like to try some, get a low level toon, and pm me or respond here!

+1 to this idea. I used to twink toons in another game an it was a blast doing pvp and arena with them.

I joined Indigo for the sole purpose of twinking, 2 years after I finally broke down and went endgame ^.^ However I still love low lvl pvp and what you can do with it, and if there are others eager enough to create a few cheap toons for some fun, im definitely in! :)

i normally keep a couple toons arena-ready(lvl 1-29 bracket)...at almost all range of gear/ability(from heavily dirty statted, to nearly naked)...some are even just quest geared and such if the only opposition is noobs ^.^(i do like a fair fight, even if that means i die a whole lot more).

when i mean "statted", i am referring to dirty statting. while clean statting is better(obviously), i personally feel it is unnecessary for twinking. that being said, i have no qualms if other people would like to partake in that style of gearing.

if any1 is confused as to how to make a twink, or needs direction, feel free to ask.


i recently procured a slew(enough for almost 4 fully statted chars, many more if half-statted) of matching fusion stones(and can get more) on palenque if any1 there needs help finding some...

i almost exclusively use the 1-29 bracket, with dirty statted gear(usually 3 stat fusion stones). alot of my toons have fallen into a bit of disuse due to arena being well, kinda dead, and need updated gear(still DoD statted lol)...if people are interested, i might have to build them back up...

main twinks are a r/d 29/29(18k HP, 14k PA right now) or a p/w/r 28/32/28(needs gear bad).

i normally go high def(both magic and physical)/low HP, so can take more abuse than people assume :P

So today I learned there is a level restriction of level 30 on one of the elite skills for my twink class -.- So I either go to level 30... or I completely reroll, yay!

Edit: The stupid thing is, it's the 20 elite, that has a level 30 restriction use on it >.>

Tough up RTP. Elite skills are for pro's, just stick with the basics. Don't hurt yourself

Ooo this looks fun, it's been a long time since I've seen a twink arena. I've started working on my s/wd lowbie but dirty statting may take time

god am i behind...got 1 toon up and running, others need gear bad...my p/w/r especially(gonna str/PA/stam stat him, all on cloth, then can use same gear on all classes :P)

hardest part is finding blank, OD gear i've noticed...stats and stones fall out of the sky compared to getting the base gear lol

i've actually had to start farming FA for gear lol

i remember back when twinking was a thing, every1 threw up their blank, OD drops on the AH to make a quick buck...

Oh yea, I use to farm blank OD gear around SS and in FA even after I finished my first twink because that was my first character, and it was a great way to make money ^.^

Last boss FA I got a drop today of a blue tier head piece, 104 OD, It wasn't clean, however it was cloth and only had one stat on it (bound) which I removed, leaving a ghost stat of a whopping +66 hp ^.^ Neat little piece.

Mage/Champion Level 20 Elite skill called "Brain Shock", You can get it at level 20 fine, but when you hover over the icon it reads "Level 30 Restriction" so my level 29 twink cannot use it :( would have been fun to play too, don't see many mage/champ's

I remember low level hats as being very hard to find...I do not believe any vendors sell them. One of the low level quest rewards on elven isle was a hat and I remember telling myself to always take that choice as it would be the only hat to wear for a while. Now that I think about it, isn't one of the windmill drops a hat and/or crafting materials to make one.
