Great Sword

 * lvl 62 Mercurial Sword (This GS is great for PLD/DNC)

Ranged

 * lvl 1: Happy Egg
 * lvl 60: Bibiki Seashell
 * lvl 70: Rosenbogen (1 less VIT, 10 more HP than Bibiki Seashell)

Hands

 * Lvl 29 Eisenhentzes or Kampfhentzes (Tank) or
 * Lvl 27 Savage Gauntlets (Mithra only; +4 VIT and +16 MP don't hurt, though the 4 less DEF than Kampfhentzes may. Usable up to AF gloves.)
 * Lvl 40 Iron Musketeer's Gauntlets (Don't Bother with these, they are useless for PLD. Kamphhentzes work wonderfully until AF)
 * Lvl 50 Storm Manopolas (A fully valid selection, even for PLD. Enmity +3 is nice and evasion can never be a bad thing.)
 * Lvl 50 Rush Gloves (the +4 Vit is wicked and useful until AF is available, also the added agi may come in handy)
 * Lvl 54 Gallant Gauntlets (AF)
 * Lvl 62 River Gauntlets (Mithra only; VIT+6 tops anything else available before Relic, and HP+60 can only help Spirits Within.)
 * Lvl 70 Lord's Gauntlets/King's Gauntlets (Level 70 Pld JSE good stuff if you can find it. Not necessary)
 * Lvl 72 Valor Gauntlets (AFv2)
 * Lvl 73 Adaman Gauntlets
 * Lvl 73 Koenig Handschuhs (Abjuration Gear (Martial Abjuration: Hands from Genbu))
 * Lvl 75 Homam Manopolas (Useful for Enmity and Haste for PLD/NIN.)

Legs

 * Lvl 29 Eisendiechlings or Kampfdiechlings
 * Lvl 40 Royal Squire's Breeches (Perhaps a better option than Eisendiechlings, but definitely not better than Kampfdiechlings)
 * Lvl 50 Iron Musketeer's Cuisses (Definitely the piece you want from 50-58)
 * Lvl 55 Fourth Division Cuisses
 * Lvl 58 Gallant Breeches (AF)
 * Lvl 59 Sipahi Zerehs (Compared to AF: Same AGI, +2 STR, more HP, a bit less defense, and no +2 ENM.  Enhancing skill who cares.)
 * Lvl 70 Lord's Cuisses
 * Lvl 73 Adaman Cuisses
 * Lvl 73 Crimson Cuisses (Abjuration Gear with movement speed increase, godsend for kite fights)
 * Lvl 73 Koenig Diechlings (Abjuration Gear)
 * Lvl 74 Valor Breeches (AFv2)
 * Lvl 75 Homam Cosciales (Fast Cast and Haste for PLD/NIN.)

Feet

 * Lvl 29 Kampfschuhs (This is the best foot gear until AF.)
 * Lvl 52 Gallant Leggings (AF, never take these things off if you're using a shield.)
 * Lvl 67 Rutter Sabatons
 * Lvl 70 Lord's Sabatons
 * Lvl 71 Valor Leggings (AFv2)
 * Lvl 73 Adaman Sabatons
 * Lvl 73 Crimson Greaves (Abjuration Gear)
 * Lvl 73 Koenig Schuhs (Abjuration Gear)
 * Lvl 74 Gallant Leggings Plus 1 More shield skill than the level 52 boots.

Waist

 * Lvl 15 Warrior's Belt or Warrior's Belt +1 (seriously, get the +1 as a PLD.... the longevity is amazing)
 * Lvl 48 Life Belt (Never get rid of your Warrior's Belt +1. Life Belt is great if you have problem hitting. If you are hitting fine, stick with the Warrior's Belt +1.)
 * Lvl 60 Potent Belt Replaces life belt.
 * Lvl 71 Warwolf Belt

Back

 * Lvl 36 High Breath Mantle (Most useful, easily obtainable cape. If someone is crafting them on your server. Very good to have as a backup for if you are having trouble keeping hate.)
 * Lvl 37 Cavalier's Mantle (If you are willing to suck up the hit to Evasion, this is the best mantle before the Knightly Mantle.)
 * Lvl 40 Earth Mantle
 * Lvl 51 Gaia Mantle
 * Lvl 55 Republican Army Mantle (Exclusive item from Bastok conquest points.)
 * Lvl 58 Beak Mantle
 * Lvl 60 Knightly Mantle
 * Lvl 65 Lamia Mantle or Lamia Mantle +1(good Magic Defense boost for AM teir IV and teir III aga nukes)
 * Lvl 70 Gigant Mantle (Use for +HP gear setup)
 * Lvl 70 Valor Cape (Arguably the best back piece in the game for paladin.)
 * Lvl 70 Boxer's Mantle (Excellent for any situation, well worth the 75 Ancient Beastcoins)
 * Lvl 75 Shadow Mantle (Dropped only from the Dynamis Lord. Good Luck.)

Neck

 * lvl 35 Medieval Collar
 * lvl 50 Parade Gorget (Get one of these. 1 mp/tick while you're in white hp is unbelievably helpful)
 * lvl 55 Iron Musketeer's Gorget
 * lvl 55 Royal Guard's Collar
 * lvl 60 Fortified Chain
 * lvl 65 Shield Torque (+7 shield skill very nice. Combine this with Gallant Leggings +10 skill and Koenig Schaller +5 skill and you have +22 shield. You wouldn't believe how much this helps with skillups.)

Rings

 * lvl 36 Sphene Ring or Verve Ring (HQ1 version) or Verve Ring +1 (HQ2 version)
 * lvl 43 Mermaid's Ring for Enmity +2
 * lvl 50 Unyielding Ring (The defense, DEX+, and Resist Charm make this ring better overall than Vigor Ring.)
 * lvl 50 Phalanx Ring (Only if you have an abundance of VIT, otherwise keep your second Verve Ring until 54.)
 * lvl 54 Chrysoberyl Ring or Vigor Ring (HQ1 version) or Vigor Ring +1 (HQ2 version)
 * lvl 57 Bomb Queen Ring
 * lvl 63 Jelly Ring
 * lvl 66 Hercules' Ring Latent Effect is activated by HP below 50%. +3HP and +1MP every 3 sec (stacks with Auto-Refresh for a total of +2MP per tick).
 * lvl 70 Defending Ring (Good luck)
 * lvl 72 Topaz Ring or Robust Ring (HQ1 version) or Robust Ring +1 (HQ2 version)
 * lvl 74 Soil Ring

Earring

 * lvl 10 Onyx Earring or Energy Earring +1 recomended
 * lvl 10 Optical Earring (easy NM, 100% drop)
 * Lvl 21 Beetle Earring(+1 recomended. PLD doesn't really evade anyway)
 * Lvl 29 Dodge Earring
 * Lvl 30 Mercenary's Earring (One of the best earrings for PLD when leveling.)
 * Lvl 32 Bloodbead Earring
 * Lvl 33 Pigeon Earring (Really only useful for endgame where +HP matters)
 * Lvl 35 Wing Earring or Drone Earring (Useless really as AGI does not effect PLD much at all.) (AGI has a direct impact on Shield and Parry Rate.)
 * Lvl 35 Buckler Earring (A good match with Mercenary's earring for untill you get Knights or Ethereal.)
 * Lvl 54 Hospitaler Earring (Macro in for Cures if anything. Still isn't very useful.)
 * Lvl 55 Feyuh's Earring (Mithra only; can replace or pair with the Mercenary's Earring for Mithra, as it's STR+1 VIT+2.)
 * Lvl 59 Knightly Earring
 * Lvl 72 Ethereal Earring (Converts 3% damage to MP. No arguments, the BEST earring for PLD in the game.)
 * One of the following from Divine Might:
 * (see Talk:Paladin:_Guide_to_Weapons_and_Armor for discussion)
