Worth buying PVP Gear?

I'm V2 almost V3, I have a fair amount of alliance points, is it worth me buying the gear in PVP?

    You could throw down some AP on gear, but it's not really the best bang for your AP. I would recommend just buying the motifs to sell for lots of gold and then crafting yourself a smooth set of impenetrable gear on the cheap.

    How much are those motifs worth mate? Also the crafting just confuses the hell out of me

    I think so far my clothing and blacksmithing are around 25 so that's an issue right? Leveling them up now, but the whole system just confuses me :'(

    The motifs go for ~ 120k - 150k gold each on PC NA. Even if you can't or don't want to craft yourself, you should be able to find someone easily to craft all of your pieces for a total investment of 5-10k gold.

    It's difficult because I'm on console, can barely talk to anyone. It's not that I don't want to craft but I don't understand the system, haven't since I started.

    Motifs, traits, mimics and all the other *** I just don't understand

    What's your console and server? I can do 6 traits on light and medium if you need stuff.

    Basically the number of traits researched on each piece defines what sets you can create e.g. Hunding's, NMGaze and Julianos all require any 6 traits learned so when crafting you can have any of those traits on the pieces.

    No problem. As I put in the message, I don't need cash but I'd need the materials at your level (as I'd have to buy them), sapphire if you want divines (as I have loads of everything else) and elegant lining if you want them purple (again as I have loads of green and blue improvements)

    Really no idea what I have, I have about 20k cash I think and lots of materials, I just don't know if they're the right materials.

    Cool ill give you a message when I'm on just after 5, I need decent gear to PVP in (I'm really close to V3) Stamina Templar, all attributes in stamina. I seem to run out of stamina alot so anything to counteract that, at the moment I'm all heavy, I need medium I think.
  • Sunburnt_Penguin

    Yeah medium is what you need. I'll google what sets as I'm not familiar with Templars but if it's straight dps then it may be the same as NBs
