Later in the game you'll get all kinds of Elite armor pieces just from loot, I just sell it off or store it in my battle tower.
There is a point in the game where you get Unique armor after killing a certain NPC. That is the armor to look out for as it boosts some of the best stats. Wish it looked better though.
I'm not using any armor now though as I'm pretty much invincible in my human form at level 33 so I'm just running around in my bra and panties using the 5 knuckle shuffle to pound things into mulch. Nobody does me any damage, not even a group of 20 goblins.
My dragon still gets slaughtered so that is good. If I feel the need to die I just go into a area I have not cleared out that uses dragon form. Within a minute I'm dead.
