You can make it, i'd advise getting full t5 rare crafted as soon as possible, though. <div></div>

<DIV> <DIV>You should be fine, I wore Emerald Hide armor till I could afford each upgrade. Just go for the pieces that offer the stats we need most first. Helm being the last to upgrade since its only benefit is resists and some extra mitigation and shoulders next to last. First probably being tunic (imbued if possible) followed by the leggings also imbued if possible. Then gloves and bracers in either order, and boots being dependant on whether or not you plan on using jboots. I personally got tired of  jboots after 3-4 levels of wearing them and opted for the rare augmented crafted for the better stats and to match the set. Jboots stuck out like a sore thumb though the 10% runspeed boost is nice, can swap them out still in situational instances.</DIV></DIV>

Another good armor to wear at that level is Enchanted Thicket. Has great stats with it too. Usually cheap on the broker too. <div></div>

<DIV>Some of that enchanted thicket armor "might" be better than the tailored engraved armor.  You "can" wear either until you upgrade to augmented.  I wouldn't recommend going too far into your 40s before upgrading to T5 gear though. </DIV>

I was well into my 40's before I upgraded to T5 rare, you can still do fine for a couple levels with T4 stuff. Also keep in mind there are a few items that sell fairly cheap (at least on AB) which are a lil better than T5 rare, especially boot-wise.  Enchanted Leather Boots are 9sta 14agi with decent resists, a pretty significant upgrade to T5 rare boots IMO.  The T5 helm is also pretty lame, I've stuck with my Enchanted Leather helm for now while I work on the Trannix Crown. Enchanted Leather also does not mess up the T5 rare look, like Jboots will. <div></div>
