little problem lvl 78 dominator, long absence

hello lineagers



After not playing for 2 years (i think) i returned to lineage 2, alot has changed again but that's probably not the problem.



The problem is that i think i used 60 or 90 day expired armor and weapons,

also i don't know what i did with my adena but it's just a little 200k.

is there a way to buy "shadow"(if that still excists) S grade weapons AND armor for not to much adena?

(for what i can recall last time i played there were only shadow weapons and no shadow armor, they were only D grade)

or are there other A/S grade weapons and armor alternatives?



if i understand the web and forums correctly i only need to get to lvl 85 and i will get armor and a weapon with the awakening.



I'd rather not grind with only c grade equipment in lvl 60 area's



hope you have some tips,

otherwise still thanks for reading

(i hereby apologize for possible bad english)
