Equipment Guide...

[Talya]

There was a nice thread here, long ago, detailing lists of must-have useful gear at all sorts of price ranges.

Sadly, the lack of a search function at present means I'm relying on one of you having it bookmarked to help he find it...

But that's BG. I know the playground version you're thinking of, but I don't have it handy.

Here are a number of links that lead back to Item Handbooks posted in The Playground.

Check the 'Items and Equipment' spoiler; it's on the second post.

I don't have it bookmarked, but Google makes this easy. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187851)

Just to elaborate a little more on what eggs was saying, you can google search more efficiently (http://mashable.com/2011/11/24/google-search-infographic/) by using specific phrases/words within a specific website using these parameters: site:giantitp.com ~ "" - where "~" is a related word search, words within quotes searches exact phrase, and - excludes words from the search.
