Need armory link.

Basic armor kit should come from questing, auction house and/or tradeskills.

Then go to heroics/10mans.

I'm serious here, go to any website that allows item searching. Here's one that is very good wowhead.com

Look through gear, and find something you can obtain. Get it.

Your asking for training wheels. And most of what your looking for is not very obscure information.

Im not looking for basic armor im looking for good stuff, stuff that some of the better pvp'rs use maybe a list of what some of you guys use in your armor sets. Im just looking for some kind of list of armor and weapons i could work towards! with relation to the dalaran sets how do i go about getting those sets, I've been only been playing about a year and to tell you the truth I'm still pretty novice (a NOOB to the rest of you) when it comes to armor sets and attachments and such things! I just need something to shoot for! I know about wowhead and thottbot, i could look through that all day and still not understand what would work best together to become a really good pvp'er! Just need a little guidance!

Go to WoWhead.com and search for Furious Gladiator's Dreadplate.

I believe that's the best PvP gear you can get. Unless you want to go min/max and start mixing PvE gear in there for maximum profit. Don't even want to think how complicated that would be, though.

Since no one else really seems willing.

This 'good stuff' you're talking about, requires some effort. The idea is you need to be on an Arena team and play Arena matches against other teams. This can range from just playing to lose to World Championship competition. The idea is you get points every week for doing at least 10 Rated matches with your team. Arena points. Then you can buy the good PvP gear. Otherwise, you can get the Hateful Gladiator set from normal Honor, in battlegrounds and Wintergrasp. ( http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=-38 )

These Dalaran sets you are referring to can be either PvP gear or PvE Tier gear. Check for the presence or absence of Resilience to find the difference.

These attachments you're seeing are either the green numbers on the gear you've inspected, or the Engineering modifications. Green stats on someone's gloves/boots/etc. are *Enchants* or *Item Enhancements* provided by player Enchanters, Leatherworkers and Blacksmiths. Most people charge a fee for these. The Engineering modifications are the things like a belt that 'Allows the user to look far into the distance' or the Hand-Mounted Rockets that 'Let the user fire a missile for 1586-1784 damage at the target.' It's something like that, I can't remember exactly.

In your future posts, try to say exactly what you mean, or describe it in detail. We cannot help if we don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Smells like eBay to me but....

Nobody can give you a short-cut to getting good at PvP and generally speaking only new players or bad players will consider gear as the only way to be good at it. Gear helps but you need to practice actually playing and get real skill if you want to get better. So here's what I'd do to start a PvP toon at 80:

Start doing Wintergrasp. Every time it's up. There are some decent bits of kit you can score from WG marks and honor. Be sure to pick up all of the quests for more goodness. This open battlefield will give you tons of opportunity to learn how to PvP. Be sure to stick to the group! Going out alone when you're new is exactly what experienced players love to see. You're an easy kill. Stay with the group, pick off kills where you can get them.

PUG VoA. Both current bosses have PvP drops. Be sure to read up on the bosses before going in. Right now you can easily get kicked from a raid if you're completely clueless in there. But it's very easy once you know what to expect.

Do the BG daily. Battlegrounds are a great place to learn as well and offer a decent amount of honor, you should be doing these on a regular basis. Honestly I'd suggest that you do more than just a couple but at the very least do enough to complete the daily quests.

Get the trinket as soon as you can. Very first thing to buy with marks/honor/etc. Nuff said.

Research. Nothing and nobody can do the work for you. Start reading ArenaJunkies and look around for credible information on the net. You have a lot to learn but don't get overwhelmed. Just try to learn a little bit everyday and keep practicing.

Finally, start an arena team. There's no comparison: Arena is how you earn the good gear, sharpen your reflexes and really find out if you're any good. Battlegrounds are fun and all, but Arena is for realsies.

Otherwise, here's some cheap and very basic armor that you should be able to score from the AH easily to get you started.

Good luck.
