my toon on there is called Tomar Storvick (a lvl 4 Ranger/Nec)
Your Character is going to need to collect the following items for armor creation:
Tanned Hide Squares
Bolts of Linen
Bolts of Cloth
Scales
Silk
Bone
Wood Planks
Steel Ingots
Fur Squares (Charr Hides)
The number of items can be cut down depending on what type(s) of armor you decide to use but for now until you figure things out I would hold on to as much as you can. Like I discussed earlier, keep as many charr hides as you can, those are needed for fur squares and also for extra bags that you can get once you go post.
My question for you (and everyone else here playing this game) is do you plan on doing any player vs player matches. If you do then I suggest going post as soon as you can. Once you go post I'll try to get you a run to Droknar's Forge for some good armor. That will make you almost unbeatable in the Ascolon Arena. IMHO I think it would be kind of cool to see SFC kicking some PvP butt, although you all may not be in to all of that. Either way I'll try to help out any way I can.
