    newbie armor quests, Qeynos or Freeport?

    Hi, I'm a newbie untwinked Human Bard. What would be better, the newbie armor quests given in Qeynos, or in Freeport? A full set of Qeynos armor (Wind Spirits) gives AC (46 pts), Dex (23) and Cha (15). The sword has attack/delay of 6/27. A full set of Freeport armor (Songweaver's) gives AC (46 pts), Cha (14), Agi (14), Sta (4), Str (2), Dex (2), and HP (5). The sword is 8/30. Or maybe the best thing to do would be to get the Qeynos armor but the Freeport sword. Can I do that? If anybody has any opinions, I'd be thrilled to hear them. Thanks!

    If it's possible, I'd say consider doing both and mixing the best pieces from each. That's if you're not in a hurry to get out and level your guy fast. I know a lot of people say to get the max HP possible at low level, which would be the Freeport stuff. If you can get a nice cleric to Temp you most of the time, I don't think the minimal HP advantage you get from that gear is as important as the CHA and DEX is to reduce missed notes, so personally, I'd pick the Qeynos armor. If you don't want to take advantage of higher level buffs like Temp, then the HP advantage from the Freeport armor does become more important. Just depends on how you like to play. :D

    As a half elf, when I did my newbie armor I mixed all 3 types for half elves from Kelethin, Freeport and Qeynos. I would suggest mixing and matching the 2 types available to you as a human personally.

    I'd hate to be a spoilsport on doing the quests but I'd do neither quest. Just hang out in front of Halas or somewhere and collect spiderling silks and LQ-MQ-HQ pelts to sell in the bazaar. You can alternate between that and the shadeling/shade silks in the SharVal area also. Just buy up some better stuff than the quest armors and then just sell off your stuff as you upgrade. There is so much stuff that used to sell for hundreds of PP that go for like 5 or 10p now. That'd be about 2 or 4 spiderling silks depending on your bazaar market. No need to destroy stuff you outgrow if you skip the armor quests. I hate destroying stuff I worked hard for because it is no longer is useful to me. I'd much rather pass it on to another younger player via the bazaar or a straight trade.
