Hope that helps.

Hmm, pretty discouraging. However, I'm enjoying myself too much in the low level bracket, and I'm going to run with it.
On a different note altogether, I recently saw my future self, another warrior by the name of ButterMonkey. He was level 19 and was also trying to rank up. He was decked out in very good gear for his level, which got me to thinking about how I would acquire my own equipment.
I checked out Thottbot and Allakazam (Sp?) to see what kind of items I could get from questing at my level, and it appears I have 4 excellent items that I can obtain from easy quests: Bounty Hunter's Ring, Barkeeper's Cloak, Settler's Leggings and Cinched Belt.
At that level, one-handers peak at around 10 DPS, and shields at around 400 def and 7 block, whereas two-handers hit around 15 DPS, maximum. Because of this, I'm leaning more towards using a shield for extra survival while carrying the flag and smashing things.
In conclusion, I still need to figure out where I'm going to get the rest of my stuff...
P.S. If anybody feels like babysitting me in Wailing Caverns, I would love to get this.
