This would be my suggestion for gearing pre-raid:
Early Weapons: Langseax, Obsidian Dagger
Mid Weapons: Electrum-Bladed Wakizashi, Gnoll Hide Lariat
Late Weapons: Short Sword of the Ykesha
This is probably what you should be going for with weapons.
Early Armor: Banded (Visible Total AC = 63)
Mid Armor: Bronze (Visible Total AC = 83)
Late Armor: Rubicite (Visible Total AC = 92), Fine Plate (Visible Total AC = 92)
Post-SolRo Armor: Crafted (Visible Total AC = 106)
I honestly wouldn't bother with Rubicite unless you are after it for limited release reasons. Fine Plate has the exact same AC, you won't be competing with everyone else (including casters) for rolls. All you need to do is find out who the server smithy is (on Blue it was Bubbles). Help them out by farming components for the leather padding and I am sure they will be able to work out a decent deal.
Earrings: Diamondine Earring
Face: Dented Brass Mask, Grotesque Alloy Mask
Rings: Jagged Bands (pre-SolRo), Platinum Fire Wedding Rings (Post-SolRo).
Head: Skull Shaped Barbute
Wrist: Hero Bracers
Shoulders: Crested Spaulders, Carnal Pauldrons, Crafted Pauldrons, Bloodstained Mantle
Back: Hooded Black Cloak, Cloak of Shadows, Werewolf Skin Cloak, Cloak of the Ice Bear
Waist: Flowing Black Silk Sash
Range: Runed Bone Fork
These are the things I would be aiming for pre-Planar.
