Assume that you are starting to buy your armor at level 10 in Last Chaos. As you will advance too fast to really utilize armor at level 5-7, and save a little money too. If you decide to sell items which you find, you are not able to go in Merchant Mode until you reach level 10. And for the lower level drops you should sell to the NPC character.
You must get a guardian before make level(last chaos gold) 11. They are supposed to be able to advise you on any problems you may have. Some will help, and some will not. You can have a pet and herbs and stones to feed. But all guardians are different now as to how they help apprentices. Also if you make level 20 in 10 days with a guardian, you can get a level 21 event weapon. Which has the attack power of a weapon two levels above it. Plus what is never mentioned is that you can sell it for 5-20 times more then a level 21 regular weapon of your class.
Some guardians will power level you to level 20, that you can get a class event weapon and the guardian gets 10 reputation points. When the guards have gained 200 points, he can buy 100's reputation is an extreme rock. Since then, with the base 100 reputation, get 200 points for each guardian's reputation, they can get an extreme rock. Guardian can also buy armor's reputation, but the armor is useless, simply because if any decoration. To be a Guardian, you have to be level 20 on up. Anyone, from level 20 on up can be a Guardian, and there are no requirements that they even have to help you either. The same as some low level characters(lastchaos gold) like to start a guild so they can say they are the GM of a guild, and they may not know anything either to help you or others.
