Armor

I jus completed the frost gate mission. where is the best place to get armor? should i get a run to droknars forge? btw i have 47k (not bad for a lvl 12) and id prefer not to use all of it

The armor at Droknar's Forge is the armor you get immediatly after Ascension. It costs 1,500 g per piece, but it has the highest Armor in the game. Later, there's armor that costs 15,000 g, but it just looks different from the Droknar's armor with the same stats. There's also Fissure of Woe armor, but that's obscenely expensive, and again just looks different. If you don't care about looks, go with the Droknar's Forge armor.

Also, being at level 12, you'd need someone to run you there. Be careful on that, as there are lots of mercs there that will way overcharge you for that run (which is rather difficult without the right skills). Generally, you want a Warrior to make a run.

You are going to have use some of that gold to pay someone to run you there 1st.Then comes the materiels you need to craft the armor which requires lots of farming which is not good right now so it depends on what you have right now.My suggestion is to go to Lions Arch and start doing quests and missions to get all your skills 1st and practice with them.There are not enough skills from ROA to Beacons you need to get all your skills.
