For a War I would say the lvl 29 armor that is pld/war only is a better choice then the Centurion armor. As for a DRK, I'd say that while you COULD it might be advisable to do some upgrades along the way, like around maybe 36 or 37 for silver mail or Iron Scale Mail. Once you are able to wear Royal Squires chainmail, you wouldn't be wearing the corresponding armor for head, feet etc. at 40 you'd start wearing the Iron Musketeer armor for feet, head, hands, and legs.
ah ive just ssen the error of my ways, I was looking around and realised the body portion of this armour wasnt available until level 40 lol ^_^* my bad :D
Well I just wanted to ask a question and assumed this would be a good place...to post it
well, as you know there is Centurian gear, but its cousin Royal Squire gear, same level and DEF but with slightly varying stats. My question: Is there a body and leg part to the Royal squire armour? Becase I cannot find it on any AH, or in the conquest list with the other pieces of gear. Am I searching for an item that doesn't exist?
Koriko scholar i suggest you get better armor. Escpecially if your a tank. If you go into Kazham with scale Mail u will NEVER get a party. If you need money i suggest Logging. The best place where i log is Ghelsba Op. Then when your lvl 35 go to jugner. All you need is the field gloves basically there really cheap only 5k. I decided to get full worker i dont know why i just felt like it. It helps alot more but a full set is like 200k and if you still have scale i would suggest on saving up and just getting the regular field armor.
I hope you use this as a advantage

Alright I'm a RDM30/WHM15 from Windurst, and someone said that it costs double the CP to get this. Is there any other way for me to get this, any suggestions or anything? Also, what is a good way to get CP up?
Hey DarknessAvenger, The way I did this being from Windurst and not being able to get these with CP is I went to the AH and purchased a full set, if I did not find some of it in the town I was in I would go to another until I had the full set. By the time you get this armor you can travel from town to town on foot if you want. You get it from Bastok and have to be at least Rank 3, it will cost you 4000 of your CP points but what I hear worth it. I used my CP points to by Rank 3 gear from Windurst and sold it for a really good profit. Now getting CP is easy, what I do in Windurst if I need CP for a Warp scroll or anything is go to the gate and do a Supply run to West Sarutabaruta back and forth, the farther the Supply Run the more CP. I have built up allot of Conquest Points also from Mission and / or Quest in which I have not totally figured out the system yet but working on it. Do a Supply Run and while out get a Bird Feather and Two-Leaf Mandragora Bud and turn it in for the Teachers Pet quest. These are the things I did and I hope it helps some, take care.
I purchased the full set on the 23rd of July and love all of it. It has plenty of Mods for almost any or all characters that may use it; the DEX bonuses on the equipment are very useful for my Dragoon due to how they are naturally low. I would definitely sya it is worth the gil I spent do to being from Windurst and not able to get from conquest points from Bastok.
this armor looks tyte, and is useful for many jobs. I've had this armor since i was my red mage (which was a long time ago) now i use it for dragoon, this armor adds alot of defense when you equip it. and it definetely helps if your a taru :)

Definitely like this armor better than the silver mail I just got to replace it with. I felt like a throwback as the silver mail looks just like the armor I had when I was lvl 25! I decided to use a combination of the two. I am using the silver mail for the body armor because of 5 pts increase on def and kept the centurion for the other parts. Seems like a good idea since the other parts only got you 1 extra defense to go to silver and you lose the plus in agi or dex.
I got this armor using cps and a think its great^^ ,and yes it looks cool, im gonna wear it till lvl 40. then ill wear my royal squires chain mail. Its worth keeping till you get your etxra jobs, then wear it again^^ comes in handy.
You can get this item with CP even if your not from bastok, if you'r from another country you must pay 2x the conquest points which is 8k CP t get this, or spend 10k for it
uh..If your finding a way to get enough money for this, just fish for a few days. so far I've bought 2 C swords...(RDM/Ninja) And I used one batch of CP for the scale. I'm gonna be all set soon. Good thing about the armor is it boosts stats. Even swords, Attack +4 and Accuracy +4. I have dual weild so mutiply that by 2 and its a pretty good deal.
It only has 2 to 3 more defense if you are than brass scale mail most people are getting an advance job so you wont be using it for a while, if at all. You will have it for not even obne level if you are going for a AJ
What color is this armor? Does it look cool? I hope it doesn't look like the original scale mail- i wore it from level 10-23 and now im very tired of it. Do the windurtian or san d'orian armors look cooler?
I'm using the Beetle Armor and have been since 21, and i know what you mean about that armor you were talking about! Sheesh. This Armor however look BAD ***!!! It has silver scales and mostly blue trim...but its so rad. I would recommend getting it, also the windurstian looks ok, but it goes for about the same price as this armor does, but this has better stats. What i'm going to do is buy the windurstian armor with my CC and then sell the armor and buy this stuff.
It is Bastokian conquest gear. Get a bunch of conquest points, some rank, and you can buy it. Think it's Rank 3 stuff (4000 points to buy). Otherwise, pick it up at an AH... on Sylph it costs about 10-20k a piece. Have Fun.
