My monk was wearing bristlesilk armour up to whenever the spiders in thurgadin turned green. So like mid 40s.
No one ever commented cos it had the Velious texture, so looked good despite being cloth AC. Apparently I was doing a fine job, even in City of Mist.
One day I upgraded my cached silks into crystalline silk armour (cured silk but with MR, so twice as good as what I was previously wearing) but had people refusing me groups because I had cloth appearance.
It was quite funny that having good looking equipment was more important to getting groups than being effective. Based on this lesson I ended up getting the sexy red dress from the brothers, and even persuaded my kind friends and colleagues to get me a new one after doing the epic. Thanks Daewen and co <3. Upgraded it to the white one eventually as my monk is a bridezilla of Thule.
