The Spirit Realm

I have just recently returned to EQ after a 2 year break, so been doing a lot of research on items to catch up gearwise.

Some inexpensive suggestions for you:

I picked this up in bazaar for 10k.
The quest for is pretty easy if you have a porter to help you out.

Currently working on some of the Relic and Arcstone quests for gear upgrades also.
evolves into a very nice item.

is pretty nice also.

Have been working on those items with a single guild group. Hope this helps.

As Amberionn said go for the Cloak of the Spirit Tracker. It's a pretty easy thing to do with guildies and can be knocked out in 2-3 hours. The gloves and bracer, although not your biggest need, can be upgraded to Serpents Spine Tier 1 at the Sunderock elemental camp(although they're not the really good upgrades until you get the powersources for them). If you can afford it, the Grandmasters Breastplate will hold you over for a good while. There is also droppable/attunable gear from Serpents Spine for sale in the Bazaar. Of note is the Heart of Ice Ring http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=46588 but its a required level of 71.

I'm a non-raider so all of my gear is from single groupable content. http://eq.testmagelo.com/profile/197105 if you have any questions about obtaining any of that gear I'd be happy to tell you anything I can. I'm also on BB and have had some plate gear rot recently so I'll keep an eye out for you if something else drops.

As for arrows, I'm afraid I can't help you there. I haven't used my bow in a very long time.
