As a 54 Human Rnager on Tribunal my str and stam were at or slightly above 200 while dex and agility were in the 120 range. This one piece has made a drastic improvement and this tunic will serve me well till I get LDoN or Planestriders or Velious. The 4k price was awesome, threw in a +5 stam augment, and now my swarmcaller is procing more making soloing easier and more profitable both plat and exp wise. Nice piece for non-guilded or waiting for a Drop ranger ! The stat reduction at 54 is minimal 3 on dex and agi/2 on save and 6 on hp
Same classes, required level 51. Better stats in more important categories (AC, STA and HP, Mana and Wis for the RNG/SHM) and more saves. Not even close IMO.
Almost done with this item. Started saving pieces when I first got to PoN, but I can NOT find the Fetid Slime off the Slarhilugs to finish it up. I need 3 and I can't even find one. After that, just need some crossed fingers and I'll have a nice Chest Piece for under 1k.
Done. Got the Leggings and Tunic. Dark Purple Chain look. I don't need a lot of the stats, but the AC is huge and theres 27 DEX between the two pieces.
I collected most of the pieces myself and spent no more than 2k making both pieces, paying to have the Emblem made, buying Fetid Slimes for the tempers (not many people camp Slarghilugs) and some cash on Midnight Stones. Figure I'll keep it till I can do the Ornate Tranquility Armor, sell it and make a forklift load of plat.
Only failed once on 3 attempts, and you get the Emblem back if you fail, which is nice because that's about the most expensive item.
As a ranger in a medium sized guild I had not won a hate or Kael BP so this was a graet item for me to get! the ac and stats are better than the hate and Kael Bps anyway! And I got it for a steal at 15kp plus about 1kp worth of items!

Posted:Nov 15 2002 at 7:15 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Pretty good stats, but all to all it doesn't strike me as a BP that rangers or rogues will use very often.
I,m a 61 Ranger wearing Tolans BP atm. The lack of str on this is not an issue as my str is maxed at 260 wearing this or tolans. I don't care for the STA loss BUT rangers arent tanks and shouldn't be getting hit much anyway (let the MT take the hits) so the hit point loss is not that critical. Also the extra AC on this baby should make up for that. The added mana and saves on this doesn't hurt either. The stat I like the most about this is the DEX. I have a fleshgrinder in my primary slot so the added dex on this is nice to have (proc 160dd), not to mention the added bow dmg when i'm using that.
All in all I think it's a small step up from tolans. Of course I would keep tolans in my pack (gotta luv that gate).
The decision to me made here is do I want to be a PURPLE ranger with more dexterity that's harder to hit. Hmmmmmmmm.
I'm a 51 ranger and I hjust got this. I am happy with the 15dex. It might not have str and stam, but it does have 40hp and the 12 agil is nice. Plus lets not dismiss the 40ac, which is uncommonly high for a non no-drop Ranger-wearable BP.
Yeah and how long till he reaches 61? I am betting months if ever... only good for a guildless Ranger IMO, since guilded ranger / rogue will have better NODROP.
