The list of locations that have armor crafters is really too numerous to put here. The best thing I can tell you is to check one of the guild wars wiki sites, or simply press the alt key and look for an NPC in the towns that has [armor] or [armorer] next to his or her name.

From what you mentioned, it sounds like you have Prophecies, so a few places to check would be Ascalon city, Yak's Bend, Lion's Arch, and Droknar's Forge.

Also keep in mind that you don't need to upgrade your armour at EVERY location. It can get a bit expensive. I generally get pre collectors, upgrade at LA, and then get max at droknar's if I'm not getting a run straight to max.

Keep playing through the game, you SHOULD be able to pull through with the better set of Ascalon City armour for quite a while. Consider getting Collector armour pieces along the way.

Definitely try to get a full set of Collector armour while you're in Maguuma Jungle you're going to need it in the Desert. Don't bother with the Desert set since you're going to reach Droknar's Forge after that.

Make your max armour in Droknar's Forge.

dont waste gold on yaks bend armor, its the exact same rating as ascalonian
unless you like the skin more in which case, go for it

gremlin · Jan 22, 2008, 07:37 AM // 07:37

Its just my opinion but I would just get the collectors armour till you reach the max armour level crafters.

Then spend the cash on something thats going to carry you through the rest of the game.
Or untill the lure of the elite armours becomes too strong.

doing otherwise is the way to remain poor for a long time in this game.

check on Guild Wiki you already know you need certian materials to make armour

Crom The Pale · Jan 22, 2008, 03:57 PM // 15:57

If you have the time and are looking to save on armor there are two collector sets that I would recomend, first is located in and around Venari's Refuge and the second is in the Crystal Desert.

Crystal desert armor is max, but you can not add inscriptions to it.

Normal mode is rather forgiving, while max armor is certainly helpfull its not absolutely needed to complete most missions. However the last 6 missions you really should have max armor as you will be fighting some of the toughest monsters in Prophices.

Wow, these are some of the BEST responses i have ever gotten. You guys are awesome! Okay ill save my cash until i see collectors armor! thanks

Not a level 10 too big a loss, consider it at level 20, although id prfer a major for pve.

pamelf · Jan 22, 2008, 11:29 PM // 23:29

Like the poster above me said, not at level 10. However, at level 20 I'd use survivor insignias to offset it, as well as vigor runes, and a vitae rune, which stacks. It won't give it all back, but enough so you won't notice it's gone.

Save runes and insignias for when you get your max armor.
