they made this to prevent creating new chars for items. like pendants or talismans of power etc. I know its make sounds funny but you can count how fast you can get 50 of them and the promo for $$$ will not be realised.
You need to wait till next paches, KR just make changes and now PK chars will be punish for it.

Ive been playing a bit of this class and can tell you you need to know what exacly you will do. If you want just farm 2hand staff will be best for you. if you want to go pvp later of you need to pay but heavy set and 1hand magic blunt.
