most popular materials

Whats the most popular materials that everyone buys?

Anything that makes armor?

Tanned Hides, Cloth, Ingots.

All that evil stuff.

I'd bet the most popular materials would be the most expensive ones on the material trader.

Steel because it is needed to craft Assassin armor.

ok i just got hte game like 3 days ago, and im at level 12, i got alot of material that i salvage, but where do i take those material so i can make armor or something. is there like a weaponsmith/armorsmith in each town? I am playing factions.

I'm mainly a Prophecies player, so I can't give you details. Except -- once you get to Marketplace, then grab some henchies and do whatever you have to do to get over to Kaineng Center. There you can buy the most powerful armor in the game.

In Prophecies, the right thing to do is have armor crafted once (from Corwen, in Ascalon City), and otherwise not worry about upgrading your armor, even from collectors, until you can get to Lion's Arch and then Kaineng Center (if you also own Factions) or until you can get to Droknar's Forge (if you don't also own Factions). But the situation may be very different in Factions.

Check out the materials trader and look at the prices.
