Level 20 armor

[Convict112]

Hi, I was just wondering what kind of armor I should be looking for at level 20. I know pretty much every class has a crafted armor set they usually try to obtain. What should a bruiser try and get?<div></div>

<div></div>rare crafted if you can afford.if not although the aq's look like crap they better than handcrafted.

<div>Afford has nothing to do with it anymore. :p</div><div> </div><div>Just go out and harvest a couple times and youll have more rares you can shake stick at.</div><div> </div><div>I went out for 3 days (few hours each day) and got enough rares to adept3 all my 20-30 arts and full rare armor and weapons.</div>

<div></div>Low level rares are dirt cheap anyways now days. Hell I bought T5 Rare Pelts on Unrest for 2gp each. (5 of them) LoL.

[Colossaltitan]

<div></div>Correct.

So I should try for the Pristine Tailored Boiled equipment or something else? I am new to this game so little confused as to what you guys are talking about. Are you talking about collecting the rare materials needed in order to make the items?<div></div>

<div></div><p>Ummm Convict........sit down here and let me talk to ye. /points to stool.</p><p>"ewww gross...u sat in stool....I meant the chair next to it!"</p><p>OK...I just completed the AQ's this week for the armor...it aint that bad at all....not that it would be as good as thr rare(which you need to go to NEK or TS to harvest those pelts). But I learned alot doing the quest....gained insane xp....went from 20 to 27 in the week...and had a blast teamin up with new people to accomplish these missions. And ofc they are free. You will not be in your 20's all that long so if you are short on cash, the AQ stuff is just fine. Save up for your 30's armor. But anyway...I got to see parts of Freeport that I never would have seen had it not been for the AQ's and I felt a sense of accomplishment. Now I have a full suit of armor, met alot of nice folks, got to see and kill many cool mobs, and i will be 30 soon and wasted no money. Instead...spend your money on good food and drink and weapons and app4/Adept1 CA's. Either way...weather you buy rare armor or you do the AQ's, it's a no lose situation...but I wanted you to get a "pro" side to the AQ armor debate...I love it and the stas really boost me up alot.</p><p>Good luck...</p>

I  was in Zek  in  no time I do , however plan  to  do the aq's  for  my  bruiser  the  XP & knowledge of  playing  bruiser  instead of  Monk will  be  a great  bonus. Don't  want  to  get mixed  up  now  do we ?</font></font></font>
