Cant find any armor

connorwilson2014
Are any of you guys having trouble finding armor starting out? I've noticed other people level 5 and 10 still wearing the beginning rags. Its very frustrating. You can't get armor from quests except in one instance I know of. In addition armorers only sell random pieces that are luck of the draw. Did the ESO staff have their heads in each others asses when they made this game or is it just me? I don't know. Anyone reply back if you have the same problem or a solution, thanks =/

    Craft your own it's not hard

    I had this problem early on, but once I hit around 15 it got better. By level 23 or so all my armor was my level or one below.

    Crefting is the way to go. anyway, crafted gear is better than what you can buy. People who run on levels 5-10 in beginner rags are most likely mules. Otherwise I can't see how someone didn't manage to find anything appropriate by level 10.

    You can even find some armor in coldharbor when you start if you look for chests.

    You can even find some armor in coldharbor when you start if you look for chests.

    Or farm mobs. My main goal in running Coldharbour is always to kill everything and loot everything. Run around the room with the watchers a couple times looking for chests and killing atronachs. When in the level with all the traps, go off the beaten path and you'll find lots of chests. You will find plenty of loot; if not to use, then to break down or sell.

    Generally, starting with drops/loot and crafting the rest is the way to go. After checking cabinets and desks in any given city, you should have enough motif items to get started, at least.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
