Armor Recommendations

[Findical]

Im curious as to what armor I need to buy for my level 28 Berserker. I am using Qeynos AQ armor atm, but soon I want to upgrade. What level should I upgrade next, and what armor set? I have 15 gold to spend on armor, and I want a high amount of strength, stamana, agiltiy, and ac. Thanks for any help.

Anyone?

For myself I'd wait till 30 and get player made pristine feyiron vanguard armor. Relatively cheap and will last next 10 levels. Also you can upgrade then to some quest pieces along the way if they're better.

Yeah, the next good set of armor you'll see is the above mentioned pristine forged feyiron vanguard. And if you're on the Antonia Bayle server, find a fellow berserker named Ranmyaku to make it for you. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>I was approaching this same question, so i did some research on what's avaiable once i hit 30...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>By research i mean inspecting any 30+ tank i could find, constantly checking the brokers, and comparing stats...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For armor, i decided to go with (and have purchased majority of it already)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Chest: Landreleg's(sp) Breastplate (Useable at 32, has a dark/blackish color)</DIV> <DIV>Legs: Coal forged Leggings(Useable at 32, same color as the above bp)</DIV> <DIV>Shoulders: Pristine Feyiron (better ac than the other options, but also look at Silvirl and Enchanted Blackened Iron)</DIV> <DIV>Bracer: Pristine Feyiron (although i saw a nice bracer on someone that was orange at 29 , and was told dropped off a named bear in EL)</DIV> <DIV>Gloves: Pristine Feyiron (i wouldn't mind silvirl if i could find them/afford them)</DIV> <DIV>Boots: Pristine Feyiron (again, the stats on the silviril boots i saw seem a little better, but not by a huge ammount)</DIV> <DIV>Head: Pristine Feyiron (Silvirl's the better stat choice in terms of pure ac, but there a lot of options for a head piece - Gorryan(sp), Blackened Iron, and some stuff from the new mini-expansion zone that looked nice and had more tank aligned stats [sta and str])...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In terms of jewlery, i found that most of the player made stuff, which is in large abundance, isn't really tank geared, as most of the stats are wis or int heavy... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Neck: i went with amulet of the brotherhood</DIV> <DIV>ears: i had a ancient something or other that had 8 stam, 30hp and +one resist, but it's white at 30...</DIV> <DIV>ring : dual band's of essence</DIV> <DIV>wrists: dual hardened clay bracelets (orange until 32)</DIV> <DIV>Belt: My one weak spot atm, although i have a few in mind... can't think of the names at the moment.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think theres four or five full sets of armor to choose from beginning at 30... Feyiron, Silviril, Blackened Iron, Feysteel (although i think some pieces aren't useable until the late 30's) and the new D'morte stuff from the pre-expansion zone... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Personally, i think Silviril has the best total stats (not including feysteel, i haven't seen the full set to comment on it), but also tends to be real expensive for the level (anywhere between 5-15gp per piece on my server), and it's a semi-unique gold/bronze color.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Next i'd have to say the Blackened Iron plate stuff is 2nd best, and has the best look in my opinion...  It sells for 4-7 gold a piece on my server.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pristine Feyiron is pretty good, and a few pieces have better ac than the other sets. It's also reasonably priced on my server, most pieces averaging 2 gold a piece.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The d'morte stuff isn't bad, it's usually priced lower than the other pieces and really only comes up short in the AC department when compared to the other sets... i'm not really sure what it looks like though. One thing to take note on this set is that i think it gets white around 35/36... but don't quote me on that.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm at work, not ingame or near any notes i've taken... so i'm working purely off memory, which is somewhat cloudy...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Try to get Feysteel armor made for you. Not only are the stats better than anything (to my knowledge) else you can wear at 30, but it's a gorgeous golden color. Might be slightly expensive however, to the tune of about 1.7pp at the current rate of Feysteel clusters.

[Renzai]

<DIV>That's pretty expensive feysteel, unless you mean an entire set. On a good day on AB you can find a cluster for around 20g.</DIV>
