Warrior: Guide to Weapons and Armor

=== Beginning Note===
HQ Versions of items are not listed but can be assumed to be better than the NQ versions listed, if an HQ is particularly important to have it will be mentioned. This guide only goes over basic TP/WS gear options, it does not go into the deep gear choices of things like defensive sets, idle sets, or specific WS sets. If you want that, this guide covers it at 75.
I've rewritten this old guide to be more useful for Eden era players, it should be largely up to date for 2022 era Eden now - Falaras.
