Mithril Breastplate  

 

Sounds like a bunch of Guides poking fun around Gfay. They tend to do stuff like that from time to time, but usually they just buff and hand out cookies and milk.

Nah.. I decked out my rogue in full visible plate no problem. Mithril greaves and vambraces being the cheapest... Engraved Royal Velium Field Plate being the most expensive at 2k, a steal because it normally sells for about 3-4k... also Crystal Chitin Boots for 2k.

Also Mrylokar's is all plate too. Its not hard, you just have to know where to look...

lol I remember getting laughed at for offering well over 1k to buy one.....

I dont know Crustation armor is pretty good, just depends on the class, shouldn't even think about it for a bard but on like a warior its good, I made an ogre war and at lvl 1 i had 237 stamina and 197 str, and when i put lammy and centi short on i have 243 sta and 202 str

Your right... BPs are usually the Best pieces of the set, but there is no exception here. This is part of a small EQ Mithril Set. Found in the Liars of Solusek, Mithril BPs, Greaves, and Arms drop off of various monsters. By the standards of ToV, these stats are not good at all, but by standards of the ToV Drops, the "True Mithril Breastplate" wipes the floor. Check the stats on it, you Will see it is clearly superiour to other peices. It looks like EQ put out the Mithril too early, and then wanted to make Mithril something very strong, but had already made these parts and needed to Make a BP for their set, simply calling it True Mithril Breastplate.

There are a couple problems with your point system.

First, there are no points given for HP. AC is the number one stat for a warrior, and HP is a close second.

Second, stamina is only importent up to 100. once you exceed 100 stamina, you can run out, and the only effect is that you can't jump.

Third, strength is not as important as ac. If it were, brigandine tunics would be a popular warrior choice, at mid levels. The reason it is not chosen over crafted is that high ac is much more important than high strength. An increase of 10 strength only adds one point of damage to your max swing, and while it does increase your attack, it doesn't have a noticable effect on a battle's outcome.

Fourth, Dex is only important if you have a weapon that has a proc. Otherwise high dex is relatively unimportant to a warrior. Also, strength dex and agility can be buffed a lot by a shammy, while ac can only be buffed a little, even by a cleric.

Would depend on what race your rogue is. If you are a barbarian rogue then the mithril bp might be a better choice seeing as you will already have a relatively high STR for a rogue. Possibly even the same for a dwarf depending on what your STR is at. STR is a large factor in the amount of damage your backstab will do, something that is not only flashy (you will amaze all with your backstabs sometimes, hehe) but very important to your effeciency in a group. Not to say that the agility and dexterity are not important to a rogue. If you can't land a backstab half the time then all of that STR not doing much good. Keep both of those stats up for sure.

the formula for converting Agi into Ac is 1 ac for every 3 agi i believe. So this really had 22 Ac. Im an fairl sure about this and correct me if im rong but i remember figuring out on my rogue

Yea ok ill admit looks are better on Mithril then Ry'gorr but you still gotta like the stats like what if Mithril was -10 HP and +2 STR. what would you wear then?....Ry'gorr if it wasnt as bad but your right Ry'gorr Looks like a chain...it sux for Rangers!:)
