I came back to Vindictus and I have a few questions. What armor is best suited for a Lann at level 34 and what weapon? I use Twin Swords so please recommend me which is best. Also, should I focus on Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing?

Weapon and armor really don't matter until you're past Lv. 61. I'd just run whatever armor you have until you reach Spider Lord. Then upgrade that set to Laghodessa. After that you can go to Sinister Plate Mail, or skip it and head off to any of the Lv. 61 sets.

Weapon wise, use the Blade of Ykesha, and upgrade it to Blade of Ykesha: The Nihility. After that, wait until the Ivory Twin Swords and then go to either Dreamwalker Twin Swords or Raider's Twin Swords.

Expertise aren't very useful in the end, though I'd focus on Platesmithing (as Lv. 56 3 Star sets have some use, while Ivories are just outclassed).

A cheap alternative to the Spider Lord set is Erg River.
That set's pieces are like 4k ea, and the set's 341 STR isn't far off Spider Lord's 358.
It only really loses out on DEF; it has ~300 less than Spider Lord. (But it does have a ton more crit resist 50 vs 32)

Also, it's available at lvl38, so it's usable earlier than Spider Lord.
