Armor question

[fearthisjuggalo]

<p>I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, but since I'm still rather new here goes...</p><p>I was able to get the 22 MC leather set for my monk by doing a lot of harvesting. Sadly, I'm level 41 and still wearing the 22 MC. My tailoring has lagged behind quite a bit(level 34) and I'm wondering if it's worth the $ to buy the 42 MC set off the Broker. I priced it out and it'll cost me 3p 19g 96s as of this morning. I have 3p 53g atm so it'll definately cut into my funds. I've been questing in Steamfont and The Feerrott(sp?) and have yet to see any leather armor drops.</p><p>edit:spelling</p>

<p>First, check the regular Handcrafted level 40 gear. It will be a good improvement and less money. A lot less. I actually wouldn't bother with MC gear at all, except may be for rings. At higher levels it's easy to get legendary gear that will be better than MC.</p><p>And don't worry it's natural that your tailoring is lagging behing.</p>

<p>also if your part of a guild ask about someone making it for you. If your solo your going to be stuck in what you can find but there isn't a great reason to worry at 40s about it as the levels pass quick</p>

<p>I am in a guild, a good one, but I always feel bad asking for help. So I don't. I'll ask questions(probably too many lol) but never ask for help that takes away from their play time.</p>

<p>Honestly, you can probably level your harvesting and get enough rare leather harvested to make your next set of gear pretty fast.</p><p>I would recommend checking the broker for some handy harvesting tools to help you. I have <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=466023#5192910" target="_blank">a good list to get you started in an older post</a>.</p><p>I also suggest going to the docks in Nektulos Forest, and take the bell from there to the Isle of Mara. Up the hill by the village is a boy swimming in a pond. Hail him to start the <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/A_Gathering_Obsession_Timeline" target="_blank">Gathering Obsession</a> quests -- that will net you some pretty sweet cash while you level up harvesting, and at the end of the questline you get the spiffy <a href="http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm184/Gerrygjo257/HarvesterCloakTSO.jpg" target="_blank">Cloak of the Harvester</a>.</p><p>Most crafters are happy to craft for you if you provide the rares and the cost of the fuel, plus a tip. I usually tip at least as much as the fuel cost, and actually a bit more if I can afford it.</p>
