Lukless or normal luk

I disagree that your equips for lukless have to be expensive. Luk relies more on the qualityy of gear than lukless does because the lukless has everything in int. So your level will be more of an influence on your damage.

Yes, one of my friends was one of the 5 godliest lukless bishops then around GMS, but you don't need to spend billions on gear to be effective as a lukless. I played until 131 with a 2 dex 8 slot bathrobe, 2 str 6 slot fencepost, no helmet and a 3 below average clean black umbrella. I still 2hkod newts, and trained just fine.

I think lukless with bad gear is in a much much better place than most classes with bad gear. Don't worry about that, just play, if that's what makes you happy.

As to this. My AM is able to 2 hit newts with nothing but a 17 INT Zhelm and a clean wooden wand and is lv 138 with 77 base LUK. So it really doesn't matter. Once you get to a certain level.
