NewB Item Fund

Need to clear some room. I've got at least 1 full set of sigs that could use a new home - possibly 2. USeast Ladder. Leave your account name and I'll find you on bnet.

Just a note: the last Sigon's set that Elgar & I gave away didn't work out as well as we'd hoped. The recipient showed up wearing full Sigon's, and after I had dropped his set (I started dropping before he got to the Rogues Camp) stated that he only needed pieces X,Y, and Z - not the whole set.

This, after trying for 2 weeks to locate him AFTER we had agreed he'd be the guy to get the next set.

I discontinued the 'Sets to New Players' giveaway on the spot - - -

yeah...thats always the problem with giveaways, there will always be little undeserving bastards.

 

[FreezerBurn]

ok. never mind then. i'll just keep an eye out for someone struggling when they're first starting out.

Aw NOOOOOO!!! Nolomite and Elgar growing cynical (Twain said a cynic is just an optimist who is let down one too many times)! Well, I was a recipient of a Sigon's set from Nolo when I really was just starting out. It was a godsend, let me tell you. Played with that puppy on my WW Barb all the way through my NM Baal runs to level 70. Now it's on my sorc and I'll only get rid of it when I get up my strength reqs for a spirit monarch shield. I've got another set in the works that I'll give away to another newbie once I pick up the last couple of pieces. I'll cross my fingers that he/she really is a newbie. Sure there's a chance that I'll wind up just giving it away to a complete tool, but it was just so incredibly useful to me that I'll take the chance!

cynical no, dissapointed yes. We still have some parts of sets left, but really have stopped collecting them, seeing that sigons was the only low level set anyone wanted. The shield is the limit reagent with the sigons set.

Exactly!


Actually, we've got a Sigon's set that has a shield but lacks a helm at the moment. We do have a complete Isenhart's set, which is a powerful set for a low level melee character. There are a couple of other sets that we finished but no one wanted - I don't remember which.

Just to clarify, I'm the disillusioned one, not Elgar. It was disappointing to see that last encounter unfold, but the big pain in the butt is muling the set pieces around from our main characters to rapidly-filling storage mules. It also sucked that no one wanted a couple of free sets we 'advertised'. I certainly don't want to derail anyone's plans for newbie giveaways - but ghly recommend limiting the efforts you put into it, unless you've got a far thicker skin than I do.

Perhaps someone from a realm other than USEast could float an offer for a free set - there aren't many newbies to go around, so we may have flooded the market on USEast with our rapid giveaways.
