If I said money was not an issue what is the best all around armor *note I said "All around"* ie.for use when doing most anything and protection from anything... Also I like the idea of unlimited armor as apposed to limited. Thank you for any comments

Unfortunately, it really does matter what you're going to be hunting, because the top of the line armor sets are going to be more expensive than they're worth if you're fighting something small.

The key is being economical. When you get hit, a piece of your armor takes some of the damage dealt, and it loses a certain amount of value. However the damage of the hit can never be lower than 1. So, if a cheap piece of armor can do the job, it's going to be better than an expensive set of armor which will do the job equally well, but will cost much more for every hit it takes.

That being said, here are some of the top of the line armors:

Best not-unique: Carramone

Best armor period (but is unique): Unique Lady (or Lord) Kraster

http://www.entropiawiki.com/Info.aspx?chart=Armor&name=Unique_Lady_Kraster
http://www.entropiawiki.com/Info.aspx?chart=Armor&name=Unique_Lord_Kraster

These provide the most total damage prevention.
 
The post above explains it all really , but i guess the answer you are looking for is either gremlin or jarhead. which are both fantastic all round very eco amours.:wtg:

Thank you and I think I understand a little better now I found it in another thread no matter what kind of armor you have basically hit can never be less then 1.0

The pps above cover the question very well.
I can add only, Viceroy to Supa Post.
It is a good for casual armour, equal to Gremlin and you can obtain it from NPC on Ark.
The only negative is that armour is bound to your account and you can't trade it.
But it's worth every penny.

PS. Talania has the best point, evade-dodge and increased health can make the realy difference
 
I think Boar UL is a good all around armor, when you put in the right platts. It is not uber, but when you have some evade, boar realy can be used for a lot creatures. Just need to put in the right plat for the mobs you hunt.
 
Gremlin (plates 5B)+ best possible evade does the job.
If you cant hunt the mob with this setup you should either team or pick another mob.

Apart from what all other wiseheads here not answering your question as yiu asked if I dont care about money.....

Supremacy, Modified Shadow and possibly carramone is best allround protection........in all cases prices are extreme if possible to get.

At last someone answered the question that was asked! :)
 
If I could afford it, I would stick to Shadow + different plate sets.

I know its not the ultra top, but ultra top is insane overprotection on nearly everything but UBER mobs, so its not an all around for me, its just specialised for extrem though mobs.

Shadow isn´t that much overprotection, can be used on nearly everything.

Except the part that the stated above has better allround pritection with more dmgtypes......its still not the answer to OP :)

Shadow or gremlin is great armors, just not best allround if you DONT think about the costs......

Secondly since youre at it you spoke about evade being great armor but evade allso make a great armor better and more economic so theres 2 ways to conscider that

I shoot from full supremacy SGA mixed with mod shadow every day and I aint doing that bad so they cant be all that bad as youre implying :confused:
 
level 24 laser pistol

I've been using Vigilante with 5B plates for a number of years and seems to be okay for general use, except when I come by Electric, I'll hot-key switch to Pixie SGA with 6A or B plates (whichever has electric).
 
Best all around that has realistic attainability is Supremacy.
