Here's a list off the top of my head, in order of difficulty. These are all
plate based, so no BloodStained or others are listed here. I've never seen

type, what is available, what zone, level needed to kill appropriate mobs (and
still get exp from kill)

Barbed (full)- In Befallen 12-20
Bronze(full)- Unrest, Nejena, Lake Rathe, various other places 14+ (or so-been
awhile)
Blackened(full)- Runnyeye 20-33
Rubicite(full)- Cazic- all- 30-45 (maybe more for AoF)
Silver-Plated Bracer- Shin Lord in Upper Guk full group of 30s can handle, no
exp at 43

***all below items you will get exp above 45 for killing mobs with the items, so
I'll list group level***

Chestplate of Dark Flame- Mistmoore- full party of 40s
Black Enam. Chestplate- Lower Guk- at least high 30s- well balanced group
Silver-Plated Leggins- Yuk Priest in Lower Guk (live side) group of 38+ (I was
there at 38 with a 43+ group with no problem)
Charred (gaunthlets, BP, Shield, Boots, ???)- Sol A, Mid 30s group should be
able to get all pieces available
Mithril(full?)- Sol B groups of high 30s up to 50; there are some name confusion
things (Chest pieces: Lower Guk- Mithril Runed Tunic (not plate look); Sol B-
Mithril BP(plate look))
Lustrous Russet- PoF- only non-class specific armor from PoF- unattainable at
current
Ethereal Mist - PoF- unattainable at current, but best (although purple) you can
get.

Steele Plate(full)- store bough

Hope this helps
