Clothing/Armor

[SakéSquid]

i have been playing for about a week i think and i was wondering how you get better clothing or armor without having to pay more than a ton of gold

Spoiler alert

You don't.

Like Herostar said, you're either going to spend a lot of gold, or time and gold (if you go the crafting route).

Other way would be getting lucky with drops in areas that have the chance to drop clothes.
Note that there's some people that tend to price things based on looks - you can sometimes find armor priced cheaply just because it's not a color people would want (not sure if that's the case now with all the dying that's been going on).

Edit: While uncommon/rare, you can sometimes find people that like to do item trades instead.

if i went the crafting route which one would you suggest

If you want Light Armor, you'll probably work with Tailoring. Heavy Armor and swords would be from Smithing. Both have part-time jobs offered that, if done regularly and every day, can help considerably with training requirements.

Both options are time consuming because of the skill training, material gathering, and obtaining the scrolls needed to make the item (some even needing more than one of that scroll to actually make something). With tailoring you really just need the tailoring skill and weaving skill; blacksmithing needs refining (to refine ores into ingots), blacksmithing, and sometimes weaving (since some material requirements are materials created from weaving).

Materials will also take up inventory space, so there's some management involved unless you're selling your materials as you use them.

Well, if you care about looks then equipment will be expensive from player shops. If not then you can grab some equipment from the NPCs that sell it.

The game as a whole is a bit open-ended, so it's really up to you to find what works best for how you want to play. You could do the usual grind of dungeons and such to get gold, or if you're tired of combat you can work on any of the various life skills - herbalism and potion making to sell various potions, mining or metallurgy to sell iron (or throw in refining to sell ingots), Carpentry for getting higher quality firewood, Weaving to make necessary materials used in tailoring, hillwen engineering or shyllien ecology for guns/mana bullets, and so on.

Or part time jobs like at the healer and church to gather up holy water to sell in stacks of 10. If you're one that pays for VIP every month you can make use of the farms in Tailteann.

Events are usually the easiest times to find equipment, but outside of that a lot of it will involve some work.

Everyone already said what I'd said but I want to add that due to the bonuses accessories can offer clothing is typically considered better than armor.

Ancient hunting the fastest

Also the accessories thing no longer applies that much due to armor mastery

The dexterity reduction of heavy armor is still a thing even at rank 1 iirc.

[Arolust]

At high rank light armor allows 2 accessories

[Cyberse Talker @Rinister]

True but most light armors don't look too good imo.

Adventure seals. The seal shop sells a pretty good set of heavy armor every Saturday.

Also, adventure seals can be obtained by doing many different daily quests. It may take a bit, but it's free and worth it. C:

Here is a list of all the daily quests you can do to obtain the seals:
