Every character begins play with the Personal Kit at no cost plus 200 gold (or value equal to that of Korresh currency). You may purchase up to two additional kits. Note that the Healing Kit, Camping Kit and Scholar's Kit can usually be bought IC as a whole...the other kits must be pieced together from individual purchases if you're not starting with them. Note that possession of the Thieving Kit or any of its more sneaky items is ILLEGAL in every Kingdom.

Kit prices reflect general availability and worth of their contents, which is why some kits with less items are worth more than other kits with many items. Once you've purchased your kits, you may then look at the individual price lists for each Kingdom (Currency Page) or for basic supplies, go to the Common Market page and pick up any extras. Some things due to their price alone will require the Additional Gold advantage in order to be able to purchase it as starting equipment.
