Q:
Is the level 1 starting armor available to repurchase?
A:
The starter gear seems to be available from armor merchants, with the exception of certain pieces that you got to select in character creation. For example, I have not seen the Necromancer’s starter mask or the Elementalist’s starter forehead gem for sale anywhere, but you can buy their starter top/pants/boots at a vendor easily.
Wish I’d know that when I started out with my Elementalist . . . I saw the starter armor on the vendor and assumed I could get the whole set back if I deleted it, but sadly the head piece seems exclusive to character creation.
Sorry I’ll move this question to Players helping Players. Can someone delete this post?
