What armor at lvl 40?

[Serantos]

Hey...I'm about to hit lvl 40, and im still wearing my Eisen gear.

I thought the way to go was I.M. gear? but it is all ranged acc. and dex. Sounds more like rng or thf gear...dont think they can equip it though...

You can only wear IM helm gloves boots at lvl 40 and u get legs and body at 50. So i was goin to wear Royal Squires legs and body. Is this what i need to be using? This is the frst time in my PLD career where it isnt OBVIOUS what armor to wear...

Because Eisen, as im sure you all know, is awesome PLD gear i mean i think its VIT +14? but the DEF isnt so great now...So please help me out!

Also, what earings should I be using? I have crappy ones on now...like Eva. +, So im not sure what to do there...

Thanks!

Read up the guide that Imac created. It's very informative and helpful when I was about to hit 40, on what type of armor I wore. But on the top of my head........

Royal Squire's Chainmail
Royal Squire's Leggings
IM Boots
IM Gloves
IM Helm
War Sword (If you haven't bought it yet) that or I guess you can go with the Grudge sword now.
The Jenet shield seems to be the shield to use now, I stuck with my Kite then Heater til 50 (i think, i don't remember).
Drone Earrings (unless you can get the Merc earring for a +1 vit with having WAR as a sub).
I went with the Sphene rings (+2 VIT)
a Medieval Collar (or if you want, Holy Phial)
I went with a Cavalier's Mantle (even with that -10Evasion), or stick with a Wolf Mantle +1.
WAR +1 belt

That's pretty much it. At least that's what I went with from 40-45, then at 45 I changed my chest armor to the Brigandine.
