Type 'quest list' at any questor to see the list of Aard items for sale. 
Don't sit at level 1 to save up quest points. Every time you remort you 
return to level 1, so just pick up however much eq you can afford as you 
run through the levels. The list below gives a skeleton of useful 
purchases. The level you buy at is EXTREMELY important.

Level 1
*Aura of Sanctuary
 Gloves of Dexterity
*Breastplate of Magic Resistance
 Bracers of Iron Grip
 Helm of True Sight
 Boots of Speed
 Wings

Weapons

High level mobs are tougher to kill so buy weapons first at the highest 
level, then move down the list until you eventually reach the lowest level
weapons. This makes leveling easier!

170 is probably the highest level weapon you will need. You might be 
considering a level 180 weapon, but keep in mind that as a newbie the 
bracers/gloves/breastplate will be more useful because at level 186 you can
ask on the wangrp channel for a drag ('help newbie-drag'). So the level
180 weapon is in fact only useful for 6 levels.

80 is usually the lowest level weapon you want to get because at that level 
there is a change to the average damage of quest weapons: avg Damage: 2.5 *
level if 1-79, 3 * level if 80 or higher.

Consider getting axes and daggers since their weight allows for dual 
wielding. 

However, make sure that you can use the weapon that you purchase. You
will often pick up the axe skill as you remort, if you don't start with it,
so you may want to purchase daggers first if you don't have the axe skill.

First get axes and dual wield with a weapon from a clan store:
 170 Axe of Aardwolf
 150 Axe of Aardwolf
 130 Axe of Aardwolf
 90  Axe of Aardwolf

Once you've gathered enough quest points fill in the gaps:
 160 Dagger of Aardwolf
 140 Dagger of Aardwolf
 120 Dagger of Aardwolf
 110 Axe of Aardwolf
 100 Dagger of Aardwolf

This way you can always dual wield two quest weapons:
 At 90: wield axe
 At 100: wield 90 level axe with dual 100 dagger
 At 110: wield 110 level axe with dual 100 dagger and so on. 

Eventually you may want to get weapons level 80 and below, but keep in mind
that clan weapons are 'good enough' in range 1-90.
