NooB Question PvP gearing

[Gusty]

Recently i started taking ESO t more serious since wow had died for me.

I am really curious how do you gear up in this game? In special if i dont have an ESO PLUS....
In wow i would just go farm Honor points and get my starting gear.

I see there's also here some kind of Honor Points Called 'Alliance Points", are they use for buying Pvp gear? or there is another method in this game for gearing up for pvp

Sry for my bad english

although you can use your alliance points to buy gear, that is not what is important.

im no great PvP player, so i can suggest a build that would work, but one thing you need on any armor is the "impenetrable" trait.
critical resistance is needed for PvP, since players can hit critical, what npc's dont do. you get that from trait on armor and your cp.

the sets depend on your role and playstyle. but as mentioned, im no regular PvP player, just run with a group sometimes ;)

It depends on if you plan to play no-CP or CP PvP, it depends on your playstyle, your class etc. Most gear are overland gears that you can either farm or buy at guild stores, some are acquired in dungeons or arena, some need to be crafted.

You can either craft gear (or buy it from a crafter). Or get it via drops while questing, doing dungeons, trials basically any activity in the game. There are many sets to choose from.
If you are new to the game just play it untill level 160 the way you like and then check up some guides.

Gear drops for you in your Level if you are level 25 you get a piece in level 25.
And it can drop in 4 qualities (gold does not drop).

From worst to best is: White, green, blue, purple and gold. You can find the stuff for upgrading your gear by deconstructing gear in that colour, by doing the daily crafting writs or by refining raw materials (this is the only way to get gold materials aside from buying it)

You can not change the level of your gear, so the best is to make a gear decision at CP 160, this is the max level.
With a good inventory managment you can get along without plus. You will only want to keep crafting stuff for level 1 or level 50 don't keep the things in between and don't set your points for the skills untill you have maxed out.
