Paladin: Guide to Weapons and Armor

Sword

 * lvl 1 Wax Sword (+1 recommended if you somehow have no Sword skill or have money)
 * lvl 9 Spatha
 * lvl 11 Bee Spatha (I seriously think that PLD should get +1, this sword is very powerful for its lvl and +2 ACC helps)
 * lvl 18 Iron Sword or
 * Longsword or
 * Fire Sword or Flame Sword (+1 of fire)
 * lvl 30 Centurion's Sword
 * lvl 34 Hunter's Sword
 * lvl 39 Grudge Sword (+1 Emnity is nice, keep till lvl 50 for emergency situations)

 * lvl 50 Tactician Magician's Espadon

Great Sword
to be completed Well from lvl(01) to lvl(10) its good, but when u start partying (since lvl (10)) use Sword and Shield, til lvl(+75)

Armor
* Bone or Lizard set may be used, Lizard is generally cheaper.

** There is debate over the Silver set's higher DEF and the Eisenschaller set's overall higher VIT and AGI as a better set of armor. Kampfschaller is typically considered superior to Silver set.

Shield
*** There is debate over Jennet or Heater shield as a better choice.

 * lvl 54 Chrysoberyl Ring

Earring

 * lvl 10 Onyx Earring or Energy Earring +1 recomended
 * Lvl 29 Dodge Earring
 * Lvl 35 Wing Earring or Drone Earring (cheaper than dodge, Drone recomended, very good Longevity)
