T4 Monk Armor Question

[JudyJudy]

<DIV>Hello again fellow monks.  I've a couple questions involving T4 armor and I'm hoping a few of you can give me some information on what I should do.  Here are my questions:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1.  Once I reach level 30 should I get pristine crafted or emerald hide?</DIV> <DIV>2.  If I should go pristine crafted, should I have the chest and legs imbued or save my plat for T5 armor?</DIV> <DIV>3.  Once I reach level 38 is it in my interest to get enchanted woven thicket armor from EL - even if it is to replace the crafted?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm very willing to pay the money for crafted - and/or very willing to do the quests for the T4 quested armor or hunt lamia's for the woven thicket armor.  Whatever is recommended.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any advice is welcome.  I'd like to get a full spectrum from other monks on what they did at this level.  Thank you in advance.</DIV>

I really recommend the imbued tunic.  The heal proc is great.  Crafted normal armor isn't going to be as good as your AQ armor for a few levels.  I would replace piece-by-piece just stopping at the broker to see what you can find that's better - but do the quest to get it instead of paying for it if you can.  Doing the emerald hide armor quests is probably a good idea even if you don't use all the armor - nothing beats free upgrades <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<P>Thanks for the reply, Legond.  I'll take your advice and do just that.</P> <P>Rock on.  :smileyhappy:</P>

Also, the EL Far Seas Requisition quests give Misthide armor.  I have a mixture of the two since some pieces are better than Emerald.

Excellent.  I'll look into that as well.  Thanks!
