User blog comment:Loganh/I just started playing Oblivion and would like tips on important things such as the guilds./@comment-2104743-20101011210752

The Best Armor is armor you make yourself, if you join the mages guild and complete all the recommendations, you gain access to enchanting alters, so you can design your own weapons and armor with abilities that suit you. All you need is an item you want to enchant, a filled soul gem (grand soul gem with a grand soul level is the best.!) and money!

PS. if you need help finding tons of soul gems, just find one and use the duplicating glitch to make about 20 of them.
