I fought SCA from 84 to 2002.
What kind of kit are we talking about?
How protected do you want to be?
How mobile do you want to be?
What time period?
What culture?
What is your budget?
How accurate do you want to be?
Is being accurate more, or less important than looking how you want?
Is being able to fight well in it more important than historicity?
Ect.
I've fought in 14th, 15th, 16th c European kit, 1 c Roman, and 7th c Irish ect.
You can spend as little as $60.00 depending upon the above questions and thew rescources available to you through the local SCA chapter.
1. Just normal armor, something that would at least be decently protective.
2. Decently
3. Very mobile
4. 9th-11th Century
5. Viking or Norman (leaning more towards viking)
6. around $700
7. decently accurate, just not swinging at air
8. mobility and accuracy are very important to me
9. yes
