I had a lv14 HUmar... nothing great, but he was my character. Although the character is still there in my VMU, I lost all the items.

I'm not really sure how this happened, but it probably has something to do with this little program called VMU Tool. I defragmented my VMU (the one where I had my PSO files) and deleted a few other files so I'd have an entire VMU for PSO.

I started an offline game... it worked. I started an online one and could chat for a while without any problem... But yesterday I tried going online again and a very ugly error message came up, saying something about data corruption and that I'd lose my data.

I have a backup dump of my VMU I made before messing with VMU Tool, in my hard disk, but after restoring the original contents of the VMU I still get the same error.

So basically I have a lv14 character and NO weapons and NO meseta. What can I do? I didn't have any *rare* items, but I was pretty happy with my Drain Saber, etc... Should I start from the beginning again? Anyone up for a Normal Forest game online?

You will be able to find good weapons very very quickly. If the Drain Saber was the main weapon you were using, within another level or so you will start finding Buster's which is the next upgrade from the saber that looks blue. So, I would use your existing character and go on a Forest run, and then caves. You should be able to get a nice setup of gear in 1 run through the forest.

The key is to pick up EVERYTHING you see on the ground if you are playing solo. Then make warps back to the shop and trade in times to build up your cash supply. Check the Armor shop regularly for Armor with 2-4 slots.

Well there is a fine line between picking up most items, and strictly traversing the area collecting everything and making constant shop runs to maximize your money.
