Squig Herder - Armor/Weapon questions

[Doom123]

So I just made a squig herder. The goal is to make the path of the bouncing aoe melee git.

My goal is to level him up as fast as possible through scenarios and RvR. However I also don't want to be dead weight during the process, so my questions are these:

1) What armors should I purchase on my way to lvl 40?
2) What weapons should should I purchase on my way to lvl 40?
3) How do you get the squig armor mount? Seems I have to ride around and then get into the armor before combat, saw others run around as fast squigs.
4) Is there a way to pick the color of your armor squig? Saw people running around in different colors.

Please keep in mind that I have no interest in touching PvE, so those armor/weapons are not options.

Thanks!

1) If we are limited to non-PvE sets:
Decimator > Challenger > Devastator > Annihilator

2) The best blue weapons for your level. Aim for melee/range crit, then Weapon Skill then Strength/Ballistic Skill as your mainstats. You can find them at the war crest vendors in the Northeast side of Undercroft (the area in the South of Inevitable city). They are located on your left as you enter it.

3) You can find the level 16 and level 38 mounts in the vendors of PvE chapter warcamps or in IC. The former can easily be found in T3 (e.g. fly to High Pass) and for the latter you can find it in the Vendor that's in the Stables area in the Inevitable City.

4) Follow this and use the Barber NPC that's between the bank and the AH in IC to change your face.
