What level are you?
For the low levels, you really only need an okay weapon imho.
I tend to view TEMP and other buffs I can get as my "twink armor."
I just need good weapons so I can kill something that runs low on health, because...
...it's no longer hitting my other twink things, my skinspike Damage Shield.
I also twink out my pet w/ summoned armor, Temp, the haste mask, and proccing weapons (hand of ixblat works, iirc, even on bst pets - the proc does, I think - maybe someone can help me w/ this - cuz bst pets are a little different).
Oh and the summoned prime belt for HP for pets - shroud before logging to preserve a nice twinked pet.
(OH, want a really nice free club? Get a sow and invis pot and drive your bst alt to Maiden's Eye (nethurbian to DSP to ME) - and park him near zone. Have your lvl 70 murder the cavement there until the no trade club drops - pull close to zone. Log in the bst and log the club. It's a 12/23 club w/ stats, very nice. Goranga spiked club.

Yes, you reach a point in the 40s or 50s where you need armor, especially if you solo. Are you that high yet?
