PvP Armour - Guild Wars Forums

Hi all,

As a PvP _only_ character, I have a couple of questions:

1. Where can I spend Kurzick/Luxon faction on armour?
2. Where can I get better armour than those I can use within the armour creation window ('J')?

From all my online searching it would seem that most of the better armour and weapons are limited to PvE characters (?).

Any help appreciated, thanks

1. You can't use Luxon or Kurzick points for armors. You use those points to trade for ambers or jades in House Zu Heltzer and Cavalon. Ambers are use for kurzick armor set and jades are for luxon counterpart.
2. If by better you mean the armor's skin then you can't, play pve to get them.
If by armor rating then those pvp armors are already max.

Yes - most of the more visually attractive weapon and armor designs are limited to PvE. However, this doesn't make them better or worse then PvP equipment. PvP equipment still has the same stats (and all PvP gear is maxed in terms of base armor or base damage), but is more limited in style.

Armor cannot be transferred between characters as it's customised for whoever created it, but if your PvE characters ever come across any weapons that you'd want to give to your PvP character you can do that through your storage vault as long as the weapon isn't customised. Also, for a PvP character to customise a weapon that's been transferred from PvE, you would need to visit the weaponsmith at your guild hall (if this service is available to you - if not, then you won't be able to customise the weapon for the extra damage).

I meant "better" by amount of "armour" not really worried too much about the visuals

Thanks for all the information.

Then , you are already at the place that you get better armor, the warrior has the most armor .

If your completely new to the game you might have to unlock insignias to add to your armors.
