Prolly going not going to get a huge ammount of stuff fr 4k so i would stick to getting essencials

1. 2x 65 hit point rings <could go for hp/mana if they are cheaper>
2. Good weapon. i am a strong believer that Pally's should go 2hand Pierce from the start. they are much cheaper than 2HS and lets face it the Pally epic is worse than some 5k weapons and not worth taking a weapon skill for.

good start weapons are Centi warspear or Any of the Velium warlance <Hardened , Crafted etc.>

3. then i would look for any item with Hit points and good AC. starts generally are unimportant for a Paladin although Sta is a Plus if you can get it.

at 45 a Deepwater helm is a godsend as the 110 point free heal makes it posible to solo without to much trouble.

yeah 4k is not really very much. Echo the above but a haste item should be a priority. Get an FBSS (about 1kpp).

FBSS currently running at about 2-2.5k on FV with SCHW at 3k. I'm selling Hangman's Noose at 1250 and that's only 16%. Prices a bit screwy after the goldrush but starting to settle back now. FBSS might be back to sensible prices in a month or so.

6/65 rings are around 400pp

Due to the tradeskilling frenzy of FV there is some decent LDoN crafted armour at low prices.

There are a lot of PAL only or PAL/SHD only 1H weapons really cheap and at low level this can be very effective. Massive Dragonclaw Shard for example drops almost every time we do Zlandicar.

Start with the best haste item your money can buy. Everything else will fall into place. If 4k only gets SCHW then go that route and fill in as he levels.
So I would start with Haste item and then if money left over 6/65 rings. All the other armor can be quested. If froglok look to get the 4? ac 5 wisdom, and 25 hp ring that can be quested in oasis and s ro. Its a nice starter ring till he can get the 6/65 rings.
I would look to get him a mace of the fallen crusader, weighty polearm, centi warspear or chrystal grinder, sarnak battle shield, and any type of sword. Believe me the Mace will do awesome damage at any level. Winjon at 34 has 1hb 175 and 2hs 1hs at 170. Piercing at 100 now.
