Better armor and weapons?

[Impressive]

Hello all, I am unsure of where to get better weapons and armor in this game. I'm currently doing some of the Wyrm Hunter quests for the Duke and I am level 26 but I haven't found any worthwhile pieces of armor other than one of the outfits that the game gave me for free in my storage. Do other big city hubs have merchants where I buy armor? Or will I have to grind money to get the black market items?

Those items you get in your storage are likely to hold you over till after you defeat the dragon. Sell the Ruminator’s Monocle, it sells for a good amount of gold.

Progressing through the game will advance Stages. As you go through stages, merchant’s wears upgrade, and eventually you may find something worthwhile.

Like I said, though, the gear you have will likely not be replaced until after you kill the dragon.

The game is not unlike any other you [may have] played and this concerns equipment too. You can buy it, you can find it in chests, you can obtain it as a quest reward. Additionally there are quest the both directly and indirectly influence peddlers' offer.

Just mind that: chests contain kind-of-RNG loot. "Kind-of" means the pool per chest is limited yet the result is still drawn from that pool (yes you can save before opening a chest and reload if you don't like the effect). For specific location's loot guidance visit https://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Dark_Arisen:_Locations

Also: there are no other hubs, there are travelling merchants at various "ducal posts" though.

Keep progressing the story, merchants will update their inventory.

Fight the Ur-dragon and you get a good beautiful armor.
Good weapons too, even if you fight the ur dragon offline

Gran Soren has three shops that sell weapons/armor. The first one is the blacksmith, whose stuff can be upgraded via a quest after you finish the Wyrm Hunt quests. The other two are Madeleine's shop (which can also be upgraded), and the Black Cat. Renard travels around Gransys, and he'll buy/sell weapons and armor if you can find him.

Beyond that, you can try clearing out the quarry to the west of Gran Soren, as it becomes a shop and a very handy shortcut if you do so (be ready to fight ogres if you do this). Finally,a little ways south of that quarry, the Enlistment Corps has a small outpost, and another shop. Both these places sell weapons and armor, but I prefer the ones from the shop in the quarry.

Well, the queen's dress won't be replaced for loong time. Even everfall/BBI lvl 1 don't seem they can compete with queens resistances to everything. Upgrade your pawn. Dressed ones looks a bit unappealing.

As for weapon.. yeah, couldn't find better either. Upgrade stars. If you want spend gold for weapons then you need to do few quests after you are done with wyrm hunt quests.

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Escort_Duty flawlessly to obtain Gold Idol and then give it either to Madeleine (if you are Magick Archer) or Caxton (if you are anything else). They will offer pretty good weapons.

Or you get pretty good weapon for your class when you finish the story.

Other then that consult wiki. For reference these are ranger weapons. Not many. But "reinforced" is your basic weapon. Veteran Arc is what you can buy for mentioned quests. And Dragon's Blink is what you get for finishing story.

Find your own class and you may look where to find better weapons. But they usually could be only found in very specific chests and only with a chance.
