No, because you'll want to have a variety of options for different situations (e.g., Storyline levels, Epic Bosses, Arena, Guild Wars, etc). If you are newer to the game, acquire the Big Four armors (attained from lands beyond the Faerie Forest), including: Atlantean Avenger, Crius Armor, Living Flame, and Hydra Hunter. Enhance each of these to lv 20 to release the plus version, then craft and enhance the plus versions to be your core set of armors.

At the same time, continue expanding your Castle and upgrading your buildings. Training Fields are what most people use as they have good production and storage rates w/out having to check the game too frequently. More $$ = more enhancing = greater strength = level-up...

By the time you get to lv 35 or 40 in the game, you should be strong enough w/ the Big Four+ armors to defeat the Epic Boss (using stronger friends as needed) thru tier 15 to collect enough materials to craft it's armor. Once you beat the Epic Boss thru tier 15 the first time, it becomes progressively easier. This should then be your new focus – to obtain, craft, and enhance the Epic Boss armors.

Continue to progress thru the storyline and continue to level up; by the time you reach lv 90 or so, you should be to start going for tier 43 of the Epic Boss to release the + version of those armors. If you choose not to pay to play, then these are the best armors you can guarantee yourself in the game. At max level, EB+ armors will make you a very competitive player.

Good luck!
