Lower Level Armor

[gono]

<p>I'm 25 almost 26 and my armor is starting to get old fast. Is there any armor quests that i should be doing around this level or should i just keep my eye on the market for some decent upgrades? </p><p> And also looking for a decent 2hand crushing weapon to use in the next couple levels when I finally get BC if anyone knows of one.</p><p> Thanks!</p>

The problem is your TD loot is so good compared to old world items, that there's not really much you can get that's going to be a huge upgrade at your lvl.  When you get into the 30s, try to pick up the master crafted armor, it should be a moderate upgrade from your TD loots.  Generally speaking items you get from solo quests are going to be inferior to mastercrafted armor, I don't know why they made the TD armor so much better, it kinda ruins low lvl crafting.

Only problem with the master crafted stuff is it's really expensive.  Yeah, you could run around and hope to harvest some rares, etc but if this is your only toon it's pretty difficult to get a full suit.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

harvesting is lamecrafting is lamejust adventure on and you will be lvl 50+ in few days anyway... dont bother with overprized low lvl MC armor.

Other than rescue & intercede (all fighters) I'm not sure there are any low masters that will sell for a lot, extremely rich players leveling alts being the exception... also someone who very badly wants to make rankings for most masters all levels on the leaderboards.</p><p>I honeslty feel bad for real new players. Everything is priced to old time people with a bit of spare plat around either leveling transmuting or buying for alts. I remember being level 30 almost and the most I'd seen in my bank at once was 25g <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Granted it IS easier to make money these days at all levels.</p><p>I'd say the only issue is if you are in a super big hurry to get your first toon to top level. Otherwise.. just keep killing things, sell the loot, bank the silver, hit nodes for rares to sell while waiting on power to regen, it will add up. If you can't afford market prices for mastercrafted you'll have to live with other. It's just a fact of game. I'm not sure I had mastercrafted till T5 when I started raiding and got a few pieces of ebon. You CAN in fact play the game in COMMON crafted armor, I did it. If you really want better armor that badly, save up and buy 3 rares (or harvest yourself) for BP, Legs & weapon and find nice crafters who will make it near cost, and wear common cheap armor on the other slots. I am always glad to help out someone who tries and doesn't just cry and beg for free gold or stuff. The cost to make is so low at those levels if someone provides me the rare I will make it at cost (I always keep all tier commons on me, some don't and may charge a little more for having to get those, or require you to provide).</p>
