Few questions

So i had a few questions about farming... Why does everyone use AL 15 armor on their chars for farming?? And why do some builds, like the 600/smite require the lowest AR possible?

most build make it so u dont take damage and low al armor is cheap and as for 600 monk u need take over 60 damage for spirit bond to kick in so low armor =more damage

because the more damage you take the more health you get. thats for 600'ing. for 55'ing you can use any armour. But the cheapest armour is the lowest AI, and cheaper = less time you have to spend to break even on stuff you bought for the farming equip.

so it doesnt matter what armor i use? i can go to like ascalon and use armor there? what runes should i use? vigor?

It depends on what kind of farming build your using some builds require certain armor levels.

its the 600/smite monk build... i was told my sum one to get a 15 AL..where do i get that?

You can get the lowest armor you can buy in places like Old Ascalon, Shing Jei Monastery and Kamadan. As for what runes you'll want to use, it strongly depends on the particular build you use for farming. For example, some 600 monk builds may want to use both a sup divine favor and a sup protection prayers rune, along with energy and some health to allow you to get back up to 600 health over all. A 55 on the other hand needs a sup rune (other than vigor or absorption) on each armor piece to bring your life low enough. More specific info can be found on the build pages if you look on PvXwiki.com. Good hunting.

ok last question where do u get hero armor at? im a warrior how do i buy armor for my monk hero?

Hero armour automatically upgraded its protection as they go up levels

The look can be customised there are AI characters that will do this if you have the right materials Armour remnants I believe are whats needed.

Other than that you can add runes and so on just like your armour
