Revision as of 18:35, 7 January 2023

A special thanks to Almar's Guides and Allakhazam for much of this info.

Like every other guide states, don't worry if you have some empty slots when the tutorial ends. Unless you are trying to experience the game with some special approach, step one is going to be getting to L80 with whatever drops and minimal expenses on spells/abilities, then focusing on gear/spells/disciplines/AAs and fine-tuning your spellsets, hotkeys, and tactics.

Defiant Gear

So, Defiant gear drops from mobs in all content, and is usually rated for the levels of character that will be XPing in that zone or on that mob. Each set also has a certain coloring (shown below). It seems like the last several releases have standardized which focus effects are on which armor slots, so upgrading an armor slot will not leave you with a lesser or missing focus. Defiant seems to follow this convention.

Name of Armor Required
(Min Level)
Recommended
(full focus effects)
Crude - 10
Simple 5 20
Rough 15 30
Ornate 26 40
Flawed 37 50
Intricate 48 60
Elaborate 59 70
Elegant 70 80

Levels 0 - 10

As so many other guides advise, please do the tutorial and most or all of the tutorial's quests. This will get to at level 10 with some decent armor. Hand Vahlara Gloomingdeep Spider Silk to receive Burlap armor (it's better than nothing) for every slot. Other armor will drop from the Gloomingdeep Kobolds pretty regularly. Again, the Gloomingdeep gear is exactly equal to the lowest level of Defiant gear.

Levels 11-50

Fight content, do daily quests, or at least XP in the hotzones. You can get the quests from Franklin Teek in the Plane of Knowledge, and then go XP in that zone if you don't want to do the quests. But I've done most of them.

Grab the armor that drops that you can use. Sell/bazaar/destroy what you don't want. When I'm XPing, I don't usually loot anything that I can't use unless it's stackable.
