I just started playing again after 12 years. I made a ladder character because i've always made ladder characters that I can recall (i think). now I don't know anyone in the game and since i am new i have nothing to trade, so I looked online for stores to sell gear (pay to win i know) all the sites have cheap gear for non ladder players, but the minute you go to ladder gear, it's outrageous. so my question is. does anyone know a cheap website or a cheap way to get gear? I also thought about just buying the runes needed for enigma (JAH ITH BER) But no sites sell those runes, are they impossible to get in ladder? Just asking because a LOT has changed. thank you guys

Honestly, Just make a blizzard sorc and farm ilvl 85 areas,meph, and pindle. You can clear most content with blizz with self found or cheap stuff. I.e. double spirits, magi, insight. Farm nm with frozen orb until you get basic equipment then respec to blizz for hell. Outright buying a full pally setup isn't worth it imo.

Plus you can always make fg by selling insight/ spirit sets with hel runes included just to get started.
