Hello Michael.
You get armor and weapons and things from enemies after you kill them. Armor can be bucklers (shields that you wear on your arms), clothes like leggings, cloaks, body armor, boots, and others, things like that. After you win a battle, press g to pick up the enemy's stuff and press enter on an item to pick it up, then press e for equipment menu. If you want to organize your equipment into categories, press tab after you enter the equipment menu. This will organize your stuff into categories like, weapons, armor, throwing weapons, and various others. Press tab to get to armor (the category might be called something different but I'm pretty sure it's called armor) then select an item. It depends on what your selecting, but you put the armor on the appropriate part of the body. Helmet on the head, bucklers on arms, boots on feet, and so forth. You can put armor on in a battle if you want to, but if I remember right it loses you a turn.
You get trade coins by selling things in the bazaar. You can't get trade coins anywhere else. The bazaar is an online store where players sell to each other, and you get trade coins in return. You can't use trade coins anywhere else, only in the bazaar.
No that's right, don't train the armor skill, it doesn't actually do anything. Just wear the armor, it will protect you enough. Use your skill points for somethings that will be more useful to you.
