Level 40 Armor

[Entrari]

<div></div>I'm in my 40s now and still currently wearing HP+20 stuff for the most part.Looking at upgrading armor.....what are my options at this level?* Are there armor quests like at level 20 at all?* Crafted T5 stuff?* Any bruiser only stuff I should look out for?etc<div></div>

<div></div>Until you hit T7 the best easily obtainable stuff will be rare crafted leather.

<div>Im using a full suit of Thicket Woven. Works pretty well and it was alot cheaper then crafted leather.</div>

pristine imbued leather FTW<div></div>

<div>If you're in a guild like i am, u might be able to get some nice stuff for cheap / free.  One guildie gave me Shadows Weave (good stats / Fabled) for free.  I also got a pliable clay leggings for cheap (decent stats / 600hp ward).  I try not to get all of one set, because that focuses on certain stats and occasionally leaves others with very little.  I personally like a good combination of agi and str, but it's up to you.  If you don't have a lot of money, or want to wait til u get to the big 5-0, stick with crafted armor. The main thing is just to pick armor that supports how you play (and yes, how you play should affect what armor you get :smileyhappy: )</div>

STA first. We can get our AGI pretty high with our own buffs. I'm in non-fabled and with other people's buffs in group i spend alot fo the time over the cap. STA is the hardest stat to build for us and the imporant. Really we can't take a hit like plate tanks. When our avd fails its best to have a huge power pool to soak it up. Plus i look at it as more hps = bigger self heal.</span><div></div>

<div></div><p>I sit at about 320 stamina solo right now with about 220 agility. I am noticably better at tanking than I was with 420 agility and 220 stamina.</p>

I'm an ogre (low agi) with mostly legendary some treasured no fabled and focused on STA/Mit getting AGI as it comes and at lvl 70 i'm at 433 AGI solo with only 303STA. I guess what i really was trying to say is it seems alot harder for me to max out STA so i focus on it as opposed to AGI</span><div></div><p>Message Edited by PhozFate on <span class="date_text">03-13-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:34 AM</span></p>

<div></div><div>Well I'm only lvl 67, also an Ogre, and I never really got to raid t6 so my gear mainly consists of legendary/treasured t7 stuff I can afford off the broker in KOS. The gear I'm getting now usually has either str and sta or str and agi, but rarely sta and agi. So, my agi took a huge hit. When I looked and saw my agi at about 220-230 I can't remember if I had battle frenzy on or not. I rarely use shake off because I almost always have another fighter in the group due to our guild makeup and I get the buff from them because it is better, so that's another 50 or so.</div><div> </div><div>Also, I almost always have my jewelry slots loaded with resist stuff, so that costs me another 50 or so agi.  I plan on both my agility and stamina going up a good bit once they change the t7 armor to include resists. Might make it worth putting some of the stuff on then.  On the other hand, a lot of the t7 items have decent mitigation so I might take the stat hit to keep the extra few hundred mit.</div><div> </div><div>edit: Also, I could just be remembering wrong...when I get home from work I'll check my numbers again.</div><p>Message Edited by Cornbread Muffin on <span class="date_text">03-13-2006</span><span class="time_text">12:01 PM</span></p>

If you have a raid of 70s it pry isn't that hard but then again if you have a raid of 70s you pry have your sights set on other stuff.</span><div></div>

<div></div><p>So - to the OP's original question - for the 20s we had the AQ's, specific to Freeport and Qeynos.  For the 30s, you could do Hammer's quests in Zek for armor.  Is there nothing like that for the 40s?  I don't mean, what I can buy, or even what drops (like the druid stuff on Luclin, in ol' EQ1,) but more a quest or series of quests for Bruiser wearable armor, in whatever zone(s) is(are) considered appropriate for level 40s.</p><p>And does anyone know what Greenhood staff quest, a 2H, that can be done in Zek, who that person might be?</p><p>Redmouser</p>

He wants to know what options are out there for T4 armor while your only thinking about quested stuff. Really on most servers T4 imbued legendary will give you the most bang for what it costs. Pelts are usually cheaper than most rares and worth getting.</span><div></div>

Just updating the thread, i did end up just using my own stuff thru the 40s and 50s (50 tailor) and I've been slowly upgrading that via Claymore line quests. Seems to work well enough for now.
