<P>Crafted all the way, Legendary if you dont have cash problems.</P> <P>Chain of course, imbued leggings and chest, 1 imbued piercing weapon (PGT in the other hand), legendary imbued bow, and any good crafted legendary jewelry you can get your hands on.</P> <P> </P>

<P>Ebon weapons before armor, and PGT for soloing.</P>

<P>If money aint a issue then search the broker, medium armor lvl 40 that got nice str and agi with maybe some effects is nice.</P> <P>If money aint a issue search again for dualwield slashing and piercing weapons and a nice bow with nasty procs on.</P> <P>That is if money is no issue at all<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

I fully agree with imbued chest armor, but there is something to consider about imbued legs. They do not do a whole lot of damage and if you are training through a zone they can cause a problem. If you are hit by a MOB and your pants go off you are in combat and slow down (combat speed) so you can't out run the MOB very easily. <div></div>

^ ya hes right about the trianing part. If you do decide to get imbued legs, when you train keep yourself targeted and press yell if it ever goes off.

<P>I went the cheap route so I could save up for my T6 cobalt and the rares need for the 3 Abilities.  I went with the full set of of augmented leather (imbued chest and legs--full set cost just over a plat by watching prices starting at level 35), and the imbued cedar longbow.  I stayed with the handcrafted imbued slash and pierce weapons becuase my bow is my main weapon.   Most feel more comfortable with ebon armor but I have had no problems soloing or playing tank with a healing partner.</P> <P>Now I'm just about at T6 and I can afford to go cobalt right out of the gate.  Since I've been a T6 Jeweler for a while, I've been harvesting like a mad dog.  I already have my ironwood and 2 vanadiums for the bow and abilities, but my luck is real bad when it comes to rare ores.  I'm glad I saved up :smileyhappy:</P> <P>If you go with the imbued legs, just drop your drawers when you train across a zone.  That way, you won't proc and you can moon the mobs behind you. :smileyvery-happy:</P>

<div></div>at 45, all scouts should get this<img src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/7559/coif6ax.jpg">Agility, pretty <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. I replaced my ebon chainmail coif with this beauty, you can get it on the broker for half the price of an ebon usually. or you can find your own /shrugs.As for a bow, get an imbued cedar longbow.and any imbued dualwield weapons of your choice. i personally use the Polished granit tomahak (spelling) in the primary hand, and an imbued ebon spatha in the offhand.Edit: the PGT is one of the best weapons ever. some rangers use it all the way to 60<div></div><p>Message Edited by mastercheft on <span class="date_text">01-10-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:58 AM</span></p>

Thank you all. This has been a great help. The best bet looks like the Imbued Ebon armor (with spare pair of pants for training) with JBoots. The PGT is something I was always going to go for but I might invest in a couple of piercing weapons so I can keep the piercing ability up with slashing for those occasions I come across a slash resistant foe <span>:smileytongue:</span>The Imbued Cedar Longbow looks like a winner as well.All this will go a fair way to breaking the bank, so I'll be saving in earnest for the cobalt gear afterwards <span>:smileywink:</span><div></div>
