How can you get A grade clan armor?

Somewhere in the changes of C5 they say that there are new D / A grade clan armors..I know about the D one. But how can some1 get the A grade armor? Any ideas?

Its all about clan quests, reputation points, and endgame content...far from reachable for the average lvl 5 clan.

looks like A grade armor SETS are too difficult for the "average" players :/ ... Even with this addition.. Anyway thank you

Still anyone care to share some info (maybe a link?) about the A grade clan armor quests? Where to start, what to do?

ty

Please take a look at this page (http://www.lineage2.com/Knowledge/quest7.html) for a list of clan-related quests. Thanks!

The apella set is available only as off Noblesse class for LvL 5 clans and is gotten with reputation points:

Clan Apella armor sets may be purchased by using clan reputation points. The related NPCs are located in the Town of Aden and Rune Township. An Apella set can only be worn by the Baron class and above.

Based on the titel system only a Clan lvl 8 can give it's membersthis armor without the clanies needing to be Barons themselves. At least that's what I get out of the information.

What are the set bonuses for the Apella set?

Heavy
Set Bonus: CP +232, CP Regen Speed +40%, when attacked 80% chance of debuff on attacker
- Body: P.def 278
- Gloves: P.def 46
- Boots: P.def 46
- Helmet: P.def 69

Light
Set Bonus: CP +195, CP Regen Speed +40%, when attacked 80% chance of debuff on attacker
- Body: P.def 209
- Gloves: P.def 46
- Boots: P.def 46
- Helmet: P.def 69

Robes
Set Bonus: MP +665, CP +177, CP Regen Speed +40%, when attacked 80% chance of debuff on attacker
- Body: P.def 139
- Gloves: P.def 46

- Helmet: P.def 69

From message boards here I read that the debuff should be Windshackle.

On a side note my clan recently finished the clan lvl 5 quest. We did not recieve any rep points for doing so. I am wondering if this is because we started the quest before C5 but waited to finsih it after c5 came out.

I dont think you get reputation points for that, atleast i've never heard that you did.

Actually, now that I think about it, i know you dont. I have a friend do the quest after C5 and he didnt get any either. The clan quests that give rep points involve certain raid boss's and thats it.

According to this
http://www.lineage2.com/Knowledge/quest7.html
we should have recieved points for doing the lvl 5 clan quest.

Cool. Does that mean everyone that did it before C5 gets them as well?

Well problem is that we finished the quest and we didn't get any points for it. SO either that's a typo on NCSoft's part or the rep point system is bugged and not awarding points for the quest.

don';t even bother, they are useless armors. total waste of rep points.

It doesn't say that you get rep points for completing that quest. It says

Clans can raise levels, earn reputation points, battle against other clans for control of a clan hall, and obtain special clan items through clan quests. A list of available quests is below.

This is the same reason you'll not gain a clan hall by completing your level 5 quest. The list is simply telling you what rewards are gained by the clan quests as a whole. If you look to the right of the listed quests, it tells you what rewards are obtained.

"Clan-Related Quests"

It's not quest to lv up to next clan lv, it's quest for clans.

And

That Lv 5 quest is just to get repurtation score, your clan need to have it, the guy who deal the most damage to the raid boss gets an quiest item, that you can turn in to that guy, that item is worth like 70-150 points from what I've ben told. Thers just 6 raid bosses who drop the item thoght, never seen em alive.
