What is the 15k Armor?
A. Armor that is bought at Marhan’s Grotto and Granite Citadel costs 15,000 gold per piece, along with a huge amount of crafting materials. Generally, they have the same armor level as the 1,500 gold armor bought at Draknor’s Forge, but are cosmetically different in some way. Thus, they are more of status symbols than anything. There is also a forge in the Temple of Ages dungeons (Underworld, Fissure of Woe) that crafts even MORE expensive armor, but I have no idea what that armor looks like. As of the July 13th update, the Druid’s 15k armor now has an improved graphic, where previously it looked identical to the Druid’s 1.5k armor set. With the release of Factions, there are multiple additional sets of 15k armors, including three different non-Sided 15k armors, a 15k Luxon armor, and a 15k Kurzick armor.
