Hey can someone please post me a gear guide?

[Daryn2889]

Hi! I am an aspiring Paladin, and I am going to do the quest today. What I am horrible with is what armor to pick out, since I am always a mage and I don't worry about armor that much. I know with paladin, I will be tanking, but I usually spend so much on armor, and then later I find out that it wasn't a worthwhile investment. I already know that I am going to be a sword wielding Paladin, but I need an armor/weapon guide.

What I could use is a guide that tells me what levels I should by new armor/sword, and WHICH armor starting from level 1 @_@. Can someone please help me out with this? Thanks!

I would guess:

lvl 1-Newb Gear
lvl 10- Scale set, mix in Royal Footman where appropiate
lvl 16- Bone set or 17 Lizard Set
lvl 24- Chainmail set
lvl 29- Eisen or preferably Kampf
lvl 40-50 - Slowly swap some pieces of Kamp or Eisen for I.M. Try Earth and Gaia Doublet too.
lvl 60-endgame - Most go with AF Armor til their leet gear.

Sword..? I usually just pick Longswords or those that do the most damage or have the best enimity or VIT boost. Grudge Sword is a good sword i feel, and a Gluttony is recommended although not required. Lvl 50 TM Espadon is especially good i feel.

I used these guides as an outline:

Levels 1-50

Levels 51-75

This was a while back so some of the info on these might be outdated, but I think
they are a great starting point. I just used these as a guidelines and filled in
different/new gear that I thought was better for my tanking style.

in general,

get the highest DEF body, legs, feet and hands gear you can wear

augment stats with hand and feet slots if a good piece is usable, example Elvaan's use RSE hands before AF for the +MP

use VIT Rings -- use any other armor piece that has +VIT if the DEF is close to another piece.

Try to get +1 swords, your hits still do help with hate. At lvl 47 get a life belt and switch between it and WAR Belt +1 depending on the mobs you fight.

Bring a SAM, I leveled with a SAM regularly and later on you can open lvl 3 Darkness SC with Swift Blade and past that open Light with Savage Blade.
