Can any1 tell me diff. between weapons?

[Monthser]

I am a mage lvl 10 and i don't know what staff or armor to buy. There is:

staff damage 17-24 durability 60
staff damage 14-19 (+4) durability 80, hit chance +3

which one is best (i should think that of 17-24 but i doubt it cause the other is double the price)

Same with the armour:

mage tunic: armour 48, durability 60
novice tunic: armour 36 (+2) dur. 80

Can someone explan this to me, please? Thank you in advance!

Before getting up to level 30 or so I suggest to save all money you can.
You can play without buying any gear from the merchants, the quest items and loot should be good enough for your character.
I suggest you save the money for later levels and use anything you find.

edit: I suggest to trade with other players too. In example, if you find a good bow I suggest you to give it to an archer you see - free trading and helping others will encourage others to do so too.

Well, the +4 staff is worth more because of its higher durability and hit chance, but the 17 - 24 hits harder (the +4 also has more stable damage). Since the difference in quality is so little, you should buy the cheaper staff (17 - 24).

thank you both guys!

I don't quite agree with this. It may be the case for warriors and archers, but since you're a mage you're not gonna be short of cash in this game and the money you have now is pocket-change compared to the amount you'll have in 20 levels time.

Certainly you will be able to use some of the weapons and clothing that you receive as drops or quest rewards, but don't go struggling: if you need some new items then by all means buy them.

Additionally, don't worry about the durability on items as you'll be out-growing them long before they wear out.

I would not buy staffs. You get enough staffs as quest rewards that fit to your needs.
I dont know how it is leveling these days, on how much gold you receive. In my case i cannot complain about it. As a mage you will have the least repair costs.

im currently grinding my pt conjor as my pt hunter is too close to her grad to play, the gold recieved is still good for quests, also loot brings money.

I agree dont buy staffs you can get them in drops or from quests tunics also from drops
