Nordic War Sword (it is good sword,similar to italian sword,dunno what to do with this)
This is list of useful, decent and some great 1h weapons out there. Ppl say also that iberian mace is good,but dunno i didn't liked it.
good shields
elite cavalry shield
round shield
heavy round shield
Plate Covered Round Shield
Huscarl's Round Shield
thees shields are most valuable items. Huscarl's Round Shield is the cheapest of all of them.
You only want to have round shields because they will give you more cover from arrows on sides,on not round shields archers can shoot you in side so that is why they are bad.
Armors
don't loom kuyaks,they are the cheapest armors,always buy it if you like.
Always loom some good looking item,and more weight and upkeep armor have it is harder to sell and will have cheaper price on market.
Avoid getting palace guard armor,scale armor and always avoid sarranid mail shirt.
also avoid looming green Surcoat over Mail,and tunic over mail armors,skutatos armor,weaboo gear too.
cheaper items you can find on market (haumbergeon,mail hauberk,heraldic mail with tabard,mongol armor is quite shit in look).
extremely rare items that doesn't rely worth much Archon's armor. I have it mw and if you sell it be shure that you will never find other one on market.
i sold it once and it took me 4 moths to buy new one,and price was jew.
If you have it don't sell it.
best armors to loom are khergit lamellar armor,mail shirt,byrnie. best to buy armors are (sarranid guard armor and those in that range.)
