Sooo...Axe, 1h sword, or 2h?

[weavers]

The biggest drawback to 1h fighter's is they're probably the most expensive class to play in the game as you have to pay for an extra piece of equipment,.

i dunno. in cb a fighter was my second carchter,(1st was a lvl 7 archer). and i got my fighter to lvl 20 with no problems and was able to purchance lvl 20 armor, and have a 1h+sheild and the 2h axe from the quest and all of my skills. and i was wasting money left and right on floation stones, and making hp/sp pots, not like i had anything to sell either. never got a wepon or armor from KQ. i even went threw 3 lvl 20 chest peices trying to get +3 with elure. oh and i saved all of the teir 2 items for crafting. didn't sell anything and had money to burn. even tho having 1h and 2h spells cost alot i was able to keep it up.

on the other hand my cleric in OB, was my frist, and well i was flat broke when i hit 20. i couldn't buy the lvl 20 sheild armor, or any of the lvl 21 spells untill level 24.(i had all of my sub 20 spells tho) i mean i broke. and by 20 i made maybe 20 scrolls and 50 or so pots. it was ridiculous. i kept leveling, but couldn't afford the upgraded armor and spells. now at lvl 26 i got plenty of silver, but i've sold a ton of things like elure, lix, hp/sp pots drops, ect.

imo the cheapest class in the game, expence wise, is mages. i could lvl one from lvl 1-30 with less than a one silver. all you need is max firebolt and use magic missle one. the other spells arn't needed. and you don't really need +3 armor or even armor your level to kill things. and you can solo just fine with a few hp pots untill lvl ~25, cause then you need to kite to kill anything. but with groups you don't need mana pots once you got lifetap. their almost matiance free.
