If you want to help out the new players, making gear-bags is an excellent way to do that.
A gear-bag has:
-A full armor set, plate/leather (maybe even crafted with low runics), including a helmet and a shield.
-One weapon from each fighting skill, swords/fencing/mace/archery. (we've been using katana/kryss/mace/yumi)
-Some bandaids. (we've been using 300)
-Some arrows. (we've been using 300)
If you want to donate gear-bags, pm penny or ukar ingame.
1 bag = 1 happy young player
