I.M. armor, lv50-??, please help.

[Konoko]

Hi, I am a Warrior/Ninja 45/22, I am curious about armor I should wear. I am curently wearing,

Body: Brigandine Armor
Hand: I.M. Gauntlets
Head: I.M. Armet
Feet: I.M. Sabatons
Leg: Cuisses

I plan on getting the I.M. Cuisses and Cuirass at lv50. I have seen WARs wear the Feet, head, and hand parts of the I.M. set at lv50. How long do WARs wear the Head, Feet, and hand armor?

I.M. Sabatons untill AF, I.M. Gauntlets untill AF, and I.M. Armet untill lv55?

IF you have any other pieces of armor I should wear at lv50 untill AF, please tell me.

Thanks for the help, in advance.

I plan on wearing the IM armor until 55. Switch the leg piece for your AF2 at 52, and then switch the rest out for Royal Knight's set at level 55. I.M. gear doesn't do anything but look pretty, really. The R.K. Gear is the real DD gear at your level. If you can, you also want a Haubergeon at 59.

Ahh, the 1.5mil-2mil Haubergeon, yes, I hope to be able to afford it once I get to 59.

lol you're blessed

~3mil on lakshmi

use iron musketeers body and legs till 55
royal knights legs and hands until you get your AF at 52 and 54
head depends on what you are doing

I recently just obtained my Parade Cuirass, it looks pretty nice. Nice defense, and a nice bit of HP+ and Enmity. It seems like its worth it if your able too get your hands on this.

I.M. gear doesn't do anything but look pretty

for some jobs yes, but tanking jobs like PLD, its the best thing that happend to us since Trojan

haubergeon now running 4mil on Asura I believe.

First off, do you have those Royal Squire's pants? the ones with +1 dex and agi? I can't imagine they're too expensive. I still haven't bought the IM feet cuz I don't think they're worth 50k. Also, I didn't see them til level 45 but: Bastokan and Republic leggings. +3 and +4 acc respectively when inside nation's control. if you have the Republic and a CC boomerang, that's perma +4 acc. also only 1 less defense than IM.

It all depends on if your tanking or not.

head: IM for tanking, hairpin or valk/wulcher(sp?) mask for DD
body: IM for tanking, checkerboard for DD
hands: the lv50 gloves with +3 acc
legs: IM have the most def, RS's with +1 dex could help a tad with DD, I assume
feet: Mythril for tanking, Leeping boots or Bastokian/Republican greaves (if they apply for that reigon) for DD

Same goes with all other equip spots, it depends on if your tanking or not. It's best to have both, IMO.
