I'm relatively newbie at this game along with my cousin and my second cousin.
Saw my 80k and felt rich enough to go buy stuff (heh).
I bought a Melca/Erg River heavy armor set when i realized that you can get cloth armor and lilght armor too....
What's the difference between them in terms of advantages and drawbacks?
PS: I'm level 20 Kai

There's a weight capacity. Cloth and light armor tends to be geared towards int gear. Characters should always wear the heaviest armor they can unless they're Evies, in which case they should wear whatever gives them int.
Evies have a much harder time wearing plate armor than other characters, and gain far less statistically from doing so.

It's true forever. I can't genuinely recommend WB/E or F sets on non-Evies even if some people like them. They work, but you're losing a lot and not gaining much in return, in some cases just making a character that is straight up worse at everything.

Level up, invest AP in weight endurance, invest AP in your armor type, wear different armor.

Just craft it yourself. At your level, none of the armor and equipment is hard to make at all.

It's actually fairly annoying to craft now that the majority of drops are the non-exquisite variants of Sweetie Bear/Savage Leather. But my reason to ignore it is that you level up so fast you'll be at Blood Prince/Spider Lord/Laghodessa Slayer before you know it, and the time/money wasted on Savage Leather won't be worth it.
And a couple other notes for lowering the weight and such. Enhancing your armor will drop it's weight by a decent margin, so pushing your gear to +3 or +5 (if you can afford it) can help.

If weight is the overbearing problem, it's more than sufficient to get an item to +2, which will knock 15(typically)~24 stone off of a Plate item, and ~20 stone off of a Heavy item. Raising the relevant equipment proficiency skill will also knock weight off of each item of that type, but some people consider that an inefficient use of AP. Simply get the proficiency skill to the required level to wear an item, and then move on. There's a skill that enables you to carry more, but that's not until level 34.
Enhancing to +3/4/5 is useless unless you're enhancing an item for defence; it'd be more efficient to just replace your gear with the next item set up if that's the case. Weight will begin to drop again from +6 onwards.

Weight goes down at 1, 2, 6, 11 and 15. Enhancing armor basically throws it in the void at low levels as it doesn't sell back so well.
