Same reason you saw level 1s in XI fighting monsters naked. Smiley: lol If you threw away your starter gear, you were SOL til level 7 unless you wanted to spend gil on stat-less crap from the NPCs.


I'm willing to bet a lot of people just didn't know where the gear was.

IIRC from 1.0, low level (level 1) stuff was available from vendors and vendor stuff is cheap; this IS a beta as well so there's no reason to price it at an obscene number. Not having gear vs. having gear was a night/day difference in 1.0, leveling up, because it improved your success rate, and I don't see why they would take away that aspect here.

Originally it low level gear was not for sale by NPC vendors, that feature was added later after we complained, also it they where massively overpriced.
