So long as one knows the skills each piece of armor has, then there no real need to post his/her armor...or must we display what we're wearing?

You better not be talkin' 'bout me! I got armor but I just didn't put it in my sig.

If you're refering to my lack of armour, my character is a newbie in the extreme. Unless specifically told IC he won't be getting that armor. ^_^

Thanks for asking the question for us that didn't know for sure though. ^_^

Ya, um, can we start with any armor? its a little late for me to be asking really, but I've just seen some people who have it and some who don't (I'm talking level 1-3 having full armor, not people who coulda bought/won it by now).

Thank you. I knew that second part, but the first is good information. More abilities *evil grin*.

Simple:
1) You can claim your complete set of level 1 equipment whenever. It would've been best to use it from the start, but I hadn't realized I could until Rayo said it. So I just put that I had the equipment I had originally left empty.
2) I don't think you have to have the level of your armor or greater to use it. This does not apply to weapons. This would mean that you can be level 1 but buy a level 2 armor. Note that you ALWAYS and ONLY start with level 1 equipment. (Mods, please tell me if this is correct or not.)
