about to hit lvl 40 soon and need some equipment advice

[Koro]

<DIV>ok, about to hit lvl 40 and so far i've been using t4 rare imbued tunic/leggings/fist wraps. what should i be looking for when i hit lvl 40?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i'm thinking i'd like to use a rare imbued weapon but not sure which ones to go for (or what they're called).  if i can afford it, i'll probably end up going to a bo staff & a pair of DW fist weaps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>any other gear i should keep my eye out for?</DIV>

<P>Buy Augmented stuff.   Tailors can make these into rare armor (including the imbued tunic/pants).  Tailor will need to be 49 or 50. </P> <P>Weapons depend on what look you want.  Cedar Cudgels, Cedar Fighting Batons are good.   Cestus or Cestii Fist Wraps come from a 49 or 50 Weaponsmith. </P> <P>Good luck!!</P>

<div></div>*sigh*  I REALLY wish we could get a greater variety of armor styles (looks) from crafted armor.  I don't want to look like every other T5 leather wearing toon that hasn't managed to get fabled armor yet. I personally LOVE the look of the full suit of enchanted thicket woven gear.   Just wishing crafted armors had the variety of looks that dropped/quested armors have. But then.. I could just use Tiger Style and not have my armor affect my looks at all... <p>Message Edited by HappyNinja on <span class=date_text>08-19-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:58 AM</span>

<P>I'm going to jump in on this thread in hopes for some more suggestions, too. I just hit lvl 40 myself and am in the "uh..." phase of figuring out what I should start going for gear wise. </P> <P> </P> <P>Admittedly I haven't spent anywhere near as much time as I probably should have searching the various fan-sites for what's available, so other than crafted T5 gear I really have no idea what is available. Not to mention the price of that particular gear is still just a tad out of my bank range - which leaves me wanting to know what places and mobs I should be dragging my friends too.</P> <P>Anyone have some helpful monk gear links?</P>
