20k ain't too much, I believe I had to pay about 30-40k for my chainmail on Sylph.
Oh, and it costs a lot because it takes a lot of materials, and the fact that people like to money grub.
If you need the chain gear, have a high-level friend help you out by going into Ordelle's Caves and taking on the Goblin Smithy's/etc in there. They drop it fairly frequently.

i cant afford this chain mail i have just over 4k how am i supposed to afford this when it costs like 3 times as much as my last armour set? someone tell me!!
This set of gear is around 35k for the set on unicorn. That is not much, if you want to look at much look at my AF2. Ya BIIIIIIG difference, 35k aint ****. Plus this set makes you look much better then brass scales
And finally why would you sell it to buy other armor when you allready have it. Psh wait till you can get the next lvl armor, no need to sell chainmail and get another cuz when you lvl out of it simply sell the chainmail. This will be much less confusing.

This armor is so much more expensive than the Brass Scale set on Slyph. I'm thinking of just selling off my chain mail and buying Brass. It's worth the price...
Im wondering what the missing value for leathercraft is... around the 36 for ram leather? because i am hoping to synth my own chain set but my leathercraft is only at 20.
Whoa well i can believe it i actualy got all my chainmail armor (body, hands feet and legs and an iron mask) for a grand total of 38k - very impressive - shame im still only half a lvl to 24 but ive got it now anyways!
i just bought this ar,mor on the levithan server for 30 somethin k. it took me a long, long time to get this. i think it was well worth it tho. lol from lv 17-14 i had the lizard armor equiped. does anyone know of anyways to get easy gill cuz i need some gill to buy a flame sword my long sword just doesnt cut it.

"death: a thing we are all afraid of. but there is no reason to be, for we all will leave at seperate times, but end up together in the end" my words dont steal them please
i just went out with my DRK and killed the orcs for my WARs chain gear. unfortunately during a Garrison I died and I can no longer where my chain gear oh well im going to lvl it back up soon
I noticed your a low lvl DRK.. I feel sorry for you, DRK is a very toug job not too many invites 30-45 around 50 it starts to pick up. And scythe may be good for a while but Gsword is a must have for 60+ so start leveling it now
What you say about 30-45 DRK isn't true especaily if you have stayed on updated stuff. I know a guy that got 50 DRK in about 3 months, he took a break from the game for 3-4 weeks, and he would get parties so quickly with /war or sometimes /rdm if they need serious debuffing.
actually, it is true, im a lvl 47 DRK myself and ive been stuck at lvl 44 for like 2 weeks, cause i didnt get invites and cause when i wanted to make a party, they didnt want it cause i was a DRK. now that im getting close to lvl 50, invites are starting to come more frequently again. ive tried alot of different subs, none of them actually made a difference.
This is definetily a must get for any warrior at lvl 24. I had this thing up to lvl 30 with my warrior. It is a great piece of equipment as well as the matching hand, leg, and feet armor that go with it. (rdm-20 war-30)
I bought the chainmail even before I turned lvl 24. I think this is an awesome looking armor. If you tank I recommend that you buy this as it will last you up to lvl 30.
So far i've found chainmail from the npc in South San d' oria for 15,600gil or so when San d' oria is first place in conquest... This armor is roughly 17k from the AH in jeuno in Odin. So you all know ;) ~Shuya
