Thank GOD Verant finally has recognized the Inkey rogue. I'm a bit too high to go after this item now (46) but I'm genuinely thrilled to see some form of reward for players who choose to follow the same path as I. I've been confused by Verants lack of follow up in providing any materials for the class other than the standard fare that other classes can obtain, especially since I found out that the lore of the rogue epic states that it was created by Innoruuk for DE assassins.
This is good armor for the newbie, non-twinked character. I'm proud of VI for finally getting around to giving the newbies a chance to get decent, stat armor. Can't wait to see the other race specific newbie armors.
