I will tell you what I did and maybe that will help. At LVL 30 you should be able to farm some Goblin parts in the goblin area. This armor with any luck will last you for a a little bit and also has decent stats. After that if you go out to the KO site you can look under items and see that the stats that are needed for armor are listed there. I would think Ideally you would want to shoot for Chiten armor. so look at the required stats and start putting your points into those areas till you meet the requirments for what you wish to wear.
Not sure if this will help you but no one else seems to be answering the question so I thought I would through my 2 cents in =)
