I started this game with quicksilver armor. I eventually got a helmet and that helmet was also quicksilver. Before that, I was decked out in cobalt... but I ditched that as I got my quicksilver. I also made a chaos cloak and then later, armor of the fallen. And that was my first armor lineup- quicksilver+chaos for ICMF, which I farmed mainly, full mercurial for royal jelly palace and fallen+mercurial for FSC. This was when mercurial was new, before there was merc demo by the way. That was when I started crafting it... then after shadow lairs came out, I was still a bit behind them and couldn't get the shadow lair armor.

What was your first armor?

I got Vog Cub as did many other people. Later I got Virulisk then Valkyrie and so on.

I almost...almost went Cobalt. I went to Vog, obviously. Branched out to Skolver and finished with Snarbolax. Never needed anything else.

Magic set, got it to Miracle set and then went for Skolver. That was way before LD was even a thing, really liked the whiteish aura, now wearing Skolver is a stigma.

Hmmm.

First set was the wolver line - but since I play casually, it took me a looooong time to make it despite being here since SK came to steam.

-- When the Shadow Lairs were released and the Snarby set became available I decided I wanted that instead of the traditional skolver set and then spent even MOAR time saving up for it; time was also spent heating other gear.

So the snarby set I'm often seen fighting in actually IS from the first set I ever made.

I wish I started with quicksilver armor. They just gave me some 0* proto armor although I moved up to a cyclops cap and fencing jacket.

My first armor was Volcanic Demo Helm, followed by Armor of the Fallen, which I used in FSC back when I was a newbie. Of course I had no bombs and was chided for making Vdemo instead of Vog, but now that I have a couple of bombs I never regretted my decision. And now Fallen is but a piece of hipster gear I only use in Compound 42 for the resistance.

My first real armor "set" though, is Snarbolax. BTB, BTS, Snarb Coat and Snarb Helm. It's my first (and only, as of this post) 5* wolver helm!

My first ever armour set was Volcanic Plate Helm & Vitasuit Deluxe. I then made a Skolver Coat so I could have my first full 5* set.

I made a Grey Feather set, it

I made a Grey Feather set, it had a Medium Poison Def UV on the cloak.

Then i made another Grey Feather Set, it had a High Stun Def UV on the Hood, Cloak, Shield.

Then i made a third Grey Feather Set, it had a Max Stun Def UV on the Hood, Cloak and Shield.

Then they buffed the Grey Feather Set, Stun UV no longer necessary...

...but i have Grey Feather sets for other occasions :P

Mine was Chaos way back after beta, back when it was looked as a Madman's set.

But now everyone just about gets it because of a buff... D;

Skolver.

I have to agree that it's a shame what happened to the reputation of what I like to call Divine Wolver. For all its commonality, it's still a very badass-looking set. I expect part of that simply has to do with the fact that wearing it makes you slightly taller.

Also, thank you Fehzor for starting a serious thread.

Volcanic Demo Helm and Mad Bomber Suit.

The mad piece was mostly because the wiki was outdated and said the volcanic suit only gave CTR low.

Mines.

My first set was royal jelly crown and divine mantle. That way I had protection against all damage types as status effects (I think). Normally you wouldn't have freeze but I had a freeze UV on the Crown. Eventually I crafted divine veil and Skolver coat after a looong time, and started to use that for the sword dmg med. Then I crafted a full vog set and when chaos got buffed I made that too. I was already in the process of making chaos anyways when it got buffed. I still don't own a full Skolver set. :)

More people started with "hipstery" gear than I anticipated would. I really should have asked why you chose to start with the armor that you did- I chose mercurial armor because I liked to be different, because I have low self esteem and it makes me feel like I'm special.

@Amaki

All of my threads have some sort of message to them, you just have to look hard enough. Why do you have to look hard? Not because I'm clever, but because I'm bad at articulating my points.

And all of the trolls with their "NO YOU START IN PROTOGEAR" - I really appreciate your efforts, keep up the good work. I'm sure it will get you far.

Started with cobalt until I could get my bearings, when it was still 2* I decided my first "srs" armor set was going to be gunslinger.
I had planned on full nameless, but I got the poncho (which I still wear to this day as a nameless stranger!) and then the seerus mask showed it's glorious face, so it ended up being my 5* gunner helm instead of nameless hat.

It's sort of ironic, because my first full 5* set was aimed at gunning, but one of my two close friends is slipping into gunning now, and I'm slipping out into bombing.
Also me and my two friends have quite prided ourselves on never touching wolver armor beyond costume purposes. Don't wanna become another clone in the crowd now do we?

Hmm...

When I started, my dream was to get the volcanic salamander set as it looks extremely cool and I was inspired by ChawkThree
After I got my full set(Salamander) to fully 4*, I realized that wolver line is the way to go and then left the 4* salamander in my inventory till now and started crafting vog.

I started years ago when the game first came to steam(quit quickly since there was no cheap efficient way to just plain use the elevators). Came back recently.

I think I made the bark barks as my first three star armor because of the bonus damage. At the time I didn't know it was so low that it wouldn't make a difference. From there I branched out making angelic armor because devilites were kicking I and my friend's ass around the clock, and figured building armor for shadow damage was prudent. Elemental attacks were, at the time, easy to watch out for and avoid. Mostly. I didn't worry too much except when glitchy fire spewing turrets and goblins showed up. Though generally we all just would quit the clockwork when that happened.

I remember first getting a dusker coat and a magic hood before going: "Wait, wait, wait... Everyone uses this stuff. Screw this."

Then I made full volcanic plate, Triglav (first ever five star gear) and a Callahan. Suicidally slow, but eh.
I remember reading about the upcoming Callahan/Iron Slug buff and how it was supposedly a "good investment", so I scurried to make the Callahan... *Sigh*

Sadly, that set sees little (to no) use anymore. As I find my bomber set much more practical/useful/helpful. I occasionally use the Triglav when I feel I need a sword, but I can't really remember the last time I used the Callahan or the volcanic plate set.

I remember changing plans a few times before ending up with Divine Veil and Volcanic Plate mail, partially for defence, and partially because of the freaking Gremlins.

I made Azure Helm and Vog Coat at beginning, then vendored both of them and crafted Shadowsun Set.
The person that made me not give up and craft Shadowsun was Lukehandkooler, all respect to him.

Drake is a Pootis Bird

I made the Azure Set as my first set because I need 5* badly, My helm has Poison: max, and Normal def: low, and my armor just has Shadow def: low my Azure set is not bad. Also I used the same Azure helm in my Shadow Lair Sharby run. >:3

My first armor set was as follows:

Wolver Cap
Jelly Mail
Skelly Shield
Brandish
Prismatech Alchemer.

Aaand once I got rid of that set... I went on to make a Vog set. Then I went to the Rabid Snarby SL and made my Snarbolax Set. I finished the wolver lines with a skolver set, then went to the IMF SL and made an Almirian Crusader Set.

So... yeah...

PS: I kept the wolver cap and made it into the vog cap, so it's very special to me. :)

First armor set in general -

First armor set in general - Skelly, got up to 4* before I realized I hated how it looked (and how useless it'd be in FSC)

First 5* - Volcanic Salamander. I joined this game in the early early days and I didn't want to go after the same route my boyfriend was, armor-wise, so I went for the second-best.

After that I'm pretty sure I got Skolver, then Vog.

Vog.

I also got DVS and I was going to get Sentenza but I had to get AP before that because Sentenza is unusable in FSC.
What can I say? Gotta go fast, you know.
