Join Byzantium, we have like 123 mw items in our armory :lol:
Actually that's 213 mw items an only 103 is available atm :P
Also note that the upkeep sum of individual items is a major factor to take into account. If you have, for example, 4 pieces of armor (head, body, hand, feet) and a weapon with each of them coming with 500ish upkeep, you are likely to suffer at least a steady 500 gold everytime. And frequently, that will be 1000 and 1500. My advice is to keep the distribution low. Preferably, have only 1 item with high upkeep and use other items with 200-300ish upkeep. Also, I wouldn't even pay much attention to hand and feet armor.
I know you would like to use fancy gear and look fabulous in it. But financing good gear is a tricky bet that might drag you down. You will have to run after multi and valor all the time and it is not always possible to get it. I advise you to just accumulate some gold before you try to deal with high upkeep.
Another good advice is to play in lower gear and shift to better gear when you are on x5 or x4.
Also, here is my humble setup, with which I am doing quite fine and earning steadily even if I might spend the whole day with x1 from time to time.

Here is one of my previous replies to an old similar post. My setup changed a little bit but the point stands. I take it that you sell your loompoints. You should sell the very first loompoint you get, so that you have enough gold to try out any gear without worrying about upkeep, and then you should accumulate enough to get yourself a +3 item. Remember that 2 loompoints and some gold (100 to 150k) can get you a masterwork on the market. Also, you may take Tzar's offer and join them to benefit from their armory. Our armory is much much smaller and humbler but know that our doors are open to you as well. There is masterwork stuff in the armory you can freely use.

Wow thanks for the info man, I will probably sell my first LP then. Sounds like the better path to go. Thanks man! :D
Go on then, have a loom.
Put a deal on marketplace offering stones for a loom, post the link to that trade here and i'll buy it later.

Many +3 items on the marketplace are sold for 2 looms + some gold, like 150k gold.
If you use gear that allows you to make gold then after 2 entire generations you'll easily have enough to buy a +3 of your choice on the marketplace.
Cheers, for the explanation.Depends on what masterwork.
So if you were offering 1 loom point in exchange for a Masterwork/Lordly,
how much would you be expected to pay along with it?
But on the topic, the best way to go for beginner is to retire 2 times and buy a good masterwork weapon (unless you play cav, then - a horse) for 2 lpts + 50-150k.
I'm hearing people say, that after your first retirement,It might be true since, after some recent patch, you get the most bonus when you +1 an item, at +2 and +3 it only gets smaller bonuses.
rather than use your loom point to +1 an item, you're better off offering
your loom point on the market for a +1 item and some gold. Is that true?
Also, I'm seeing an awful lot of people saying it's better to loom gauntlets beforeThe main reason is probably that having a +3 gauntlets is much more versatile thing than having a +3 armour. People often change their outfits, and it's not easy to trade a full +3 set for another full +3 set, but since you can use most gauntlets with most sets, you will most likely not have to trade it. You can use the same gauntlets as an archer, as a cavalry or any other build. Thats why gauntlets cost just a little less than raw 3 loompoints and are the most expensive part of armour on the market.
body armor. Why is that?
