Although he did know what they were, so maybe he had seen them in passing before? Dunno.

I liked how plain her clothes looked before Kirito gave her that new set and you could really tell they were good clothes just from how fancy they looked. Very colorful and intricate compared to what she had on before. Same deal with her weapon, the dagger she used in the beginning of ep4 looked as plain as her clothes with a grip that was nearly half of the blade's length and a blade that looked like iron or steel that had a very odd shape. Later on when she was fighting the plant mobs her new dagger it looks amazing. It had a very sleek and elegant look with the thin dark metal that had what looked like a steel edge. It also had a crossguard, unlike her old dagger, which is very important for protecting your hands while wielding a weapon. The blade itself had a very sharp tip for thrusting and with how thin the edges were it would do equally well for slashing. It even had a small inlaid red jewel.

I'm sure Silica treasured those items she received from Kirito not only because of how they looked and performed but also because of.. ahem.. some reason in her heart that she "can't explain."
Yeah, Kirito really gave her some excellent stuff. If like he said it made up for 5 or 6 levels that just shows how damn good the equipment is. Probably good enough on its own for her to keep using for quite a long time. On that note she's in pretty good shape since she won't have to even think about spending money on equipment for a long time.

Agree it all looked very nice and a real improvement over what she had. Though wonder how hard it might be to get into a good group since if she was seen as a cute mascot before then she just got even cuter with that equipment .

But yeah in the end nothing can quite compare to the emotional value of that equipment and who gave it. Even if she does manage to find better stuff that equipment should stay in her inventory permanently.
