Lawbringer, a green clad knight, is heading off to see if new players can be self sustainable, and at the same time advance their gear with the current economy. This will be a log of her adventures.
This is built because I saw the Pauper test, and wanted to do science also. However, my run isn't as simple as Menilos' due to a few things:
1 : The first Mist Tank you get from crossing the Chasm I cannot use. This was used on another character on the same account.
2 : I have access to the first recipes. I crafted quite a few things on my main character using energy from the second. This includes: Calibur, Tempered Calibur, Angelic Raiment, Angelic Helm. The costs for these recipes total to about 13000 crowns. However, by today I have already sent back in CE what it would have cost for those recipes, and extra.
3 : I will not be going for anything other than: Leviathan, Grey Owlite Shield, Valkyrie Helm, and a Valkyrie Mail. Tokens will be used to increase crowns, or buy materials for my main.
I use the allotted ME every day. After I finish with it, I rest until the next day. If I reach over 100 CE, I will send 100 to my main. If I wanted to craft something, I stop the payments, and gather CE and always save up a full mist bar to use it with.
I've already played around 7 hours over the course of a week. Since the beginning, I would join Snarbolax runs. Usually I came out with 3000 or so crowns, depending on which depth I joined. I would join two a day. When I got 10 of the Snarbolax Tokens, I sold the shield for an extra 750 crowns.
Also, I am finding it hard to validate this run. As the energy prices have oscillated extremely (From 7k – 3k), many new players will not find it as easy to progress as I have.
My Gear is currently at: 3 Stars

Spiral Log:
Odd case, knights revive a lot more than they should. They even revived after the Jelly King was dead before I could split my health.
Also, both today and yesterday, I lost 20 energy upon entering Emberlight. This is also a curious case and I have submitted a report. It might have just been me forgetting I revived... but I'll see.
