My lucky paladin scored one of these off of a Hatebone drake two days ago while we were trying to obtain a sorcerer's signet . . . guessing a knight of hate didn't walk up to a hatebone and hand it over, and the only way this makes sense is if a hatebone ate a knight of hate, but I have it and don't care why the loot table is screwy :)

I know this is completely irrelevant [is that how you spell it?] but what in the world does STFU mean? Hehe, newb question, I've just never exactly learned what it meant...

uhh.. that stuff is better then the war hate armor, becuase palis rangers and druids might not want to kill in PoG (plane of growth) so they made the ranger pali and druid stuff drop in 2nd floor of hate. the normal pali plane armor is from fear. if you look up the pog armor, its all on par with this stuff.(not to shoot u down, but u can preech about lvling and getting up there around 60+)

Just got one today and I must say I was unbelievable lucky. We all died zoning in, then they broke zone and got to camp, I was rezzed, and I see a Knight of Innoruuk coming out of the ceiling, and thinking "ooh pally armor", then I realise im the only pally rezzed at the moment, the mob dies, im thinking if im lucky he drops like guants or bracer, but nope, someone shouts out pally bp, and I was on that thing in less than a second =)

I am now the proud owner of this piece of equipment. It dropped off of a knight of innoruk, and it was the only piece of righteous that dropped. I have gaunts and greaves from my guilds trip before last, and now im starting to look like a dark, dwarven bard, lol. This gear drops, this bp drops, and it is worth the wait to get it. I am currently a 55th pally on the vazaelle server, and I have gotten my 3 pieces of righteous all while lv 55. Good things come to those that wait, lv up, and conquer.

Some people mention the time to clear hate. My guild had been on the 2nd floor for quite a while. This bp dropped after about 45 min on teh 2nd floor, and I still had a aegolism that was cast on me when we started out on the first floor. From the time we entered hate, cleared the 1st floor mobs, and played around for a while on the second floor, took less than 2 1/2 hours. If your guild cant do the same, then concentrate on lv'ing up, so you can.

This gear isnt meant for lv 5's, lv 20's, or even lv 40's. This is armor that is almost as good as the deepwater counterparts, and some of the righteous gear actually even beats the dw, in my book. This armor is rare for one good reason, compare it to the warrior hate armor, indicolite. Notice the difference between the armors? Almost every piece of righteous is superior in every way possible. The same goes when comparing righteous vs many of the other easily obtained armors. Righteous is better than those other armors, and it requires patience, good friends to help, and the time to enjoy my favorite planes zone, hate. And trust me when I say this, when a piece of this armor drops for you, you wont think, " about time" u will think, WOW, this stuff is sweet, I look cool, and now I can run around impersonating a bard.

Have fun all, that is what this armor is for. You look good, you can brag you can play instruments, and you can just enjoy the life of a paladin.

You got a pic? I would LOVE to see what a dwarf pally looks like with the greaves and bp. Especially with the new mods. Send it to allak's to put on the fashion table. The dwarven pally's would thank you!
This Thing never drops
# Sep 27 2001 at 9:49 AM Rating: Decent
You are all wrong. Paladins did get shafted in their righteous armor. Look around...have you ever seen a paladin in full righteous armor...ok how many shadow knights do you see in full noctivigant...or at least more than one piece of noctivigant. The answer is lots. It is much much much easier to get the shadowknight armor than it is for the paladin to get this righteous stuff. The problem is not that people arn't waiting till they are high enough to get this stuff it just isn't dropping. Has anyone checked to see if it has been taken out of game? There is also another problem time. By the time a raid has cleared the first floor of hate and done meistro, most people are tired...the raid begins breaking up and paladins are stuck with no breastplates. I couldn't even tell you if there is more to the set of armor because I have never seen anyone on luclin wearing it. I can comment on the ease of getting shadowknight armor versus getting paladin armor because I have both a lvl 50 shadow knight and a level 60 paladin. plains equipment for paladin's drops much much much less than plains equipment for shadow knights, but deepwater pieces drop much more frequently thank blood ember pieces. So I guess it balances out in the end.


Why it doesnt drop from yard trash at 1st floor
# Jul 15 2001 at 9:01 PM Rating: Decent
My dear pally friends:) There is a reason why high end armor is not dropping from orcs at EC. Getting a piece like this is deserved and if it would drop at the 1st floor it wouldn't have the status it has now. My guild has 5 active pallies. 2 have this, one has DW Bp, and the other 2 are getting theirs someday. We work as a team and these are the rewards of the work we do. There is no jealousy over pally items. Everyone gets his/her when it's time. I personnally don't think the time is at 46, grats for anyone that got some that early. It could even be at the 3rd floor. Just thank Erollisi they didn't make it drop from Inny as a ultra rare:)

We pallies get our gear the hard way so we are used to that and happy if any one of us gets some.

BTW, now the Shining Bp from Kael quest is really something to drool about.

I have never known jealousy to be one of the paladin's greatest virtues, of other classes or even worse of other paladins! It is called teh Breastplate of the Righteous because that is what we paladins should be! With persistance and determination (those are good paladin qualities) you may some day yourself become Righteous enough to wear one of these.

I think verant has to be VERY dumb. The new paladin armor drops on the secand floor of hate, wich is very hard now =(. Now all new armor for the classes except Druids/Rangers/Paladins drop in PoG wich can be done with 3 groups! Why does verant make it relativly easy for other classes to get their new armor but make paladins go to the secand lvl of hate? I think its BS becuase i am never going to see any new Righteous armor =/.
RE: Armor drops
# Aug 14 2001 at 1:47 PM Rating: Decent
Aye its hard to get..what do you expect to given away. This a game for roleplaying and having fun. Not who has the biggest and best stuff at lvl 1. Its not going to happen plain and simple. I enjoy being a paladin and I find it very trying at times, but thats what its all about trials and tribulations. As for it being more difficult than other armor I dont think it is. One has to have several groups for any class armor in the planes or high lvl dungeons. In fact in the velious armor portion on this site says that this is one of the easier pieces to get. I have worked very hard to get what I have so far. I have full Ro armor which took quite awhile to get..lots of planning went into it. I must say 90% of the paladins dont even bother with it. For the life of me I dont know why. The lvl one can get it its worth the added xp, ac, and it looks great. I have the soulfire quest completed as well as ghoulbane.. now I will soon work towards getting fiery avenger. So just hang in there and it will happen for us all. Just takes patience and good planning and friends. Simple as that. I don't think Verant gave any class an easier time than the other, some of the items may start off easier but after getting further in it becomes very difficult. We are one of the best classes in the game, we can get some of the absolute best armor/weapons of anyone. So if one thinks its unfair well then go and play the class that you think has an unfair advantage over the other.. I think you will find that its not so easy for any class. As for me I would love to get ahold of this armor, and I will get it eventually, especially since its class specific.

Aye, very well said. I know myself, I have spent what others would deem an excesive amount of time helping others when I could be getting into xp groups and going on these raids myself. But alas, I am but 45. Now all I have helped are in their 50s. I started playing a Paladin not because I wanted to be biggest and best equiped person out there, but because I wanted to be the rock upon which others could count on. If someone is having trouble, then I go to help them as best as I can. If things go sour, I stand and die to allow my friends to escape, even if it means using my LoH on the healer to get agro back on me. As it stands, I always have guild members willing to help me when I need something whether it be take Lucan out again because I turned in items for soulfire incorrectly or attempt to get into dragon raids to get the book of scale for me while I am not able to play. So in the end, when I am able to get these Items I will feel better about myself for having earned them with my selfless service to those who were then willing to help me as well as having the respect of those around me for doing as a paladin should instead of only thinking about myself. Those 'virtues' are for the 'lesser' classes and as was said by you Aamadanae Whirlwind "This is a game for roleplaying and having fun. Not who has the biggest and best stuff at lvl 1." My hat goes off to you and my sword is raised in Salute!

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 03 2001 at 3:49 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Am I the only one to see the bs going on with pally armor? Yeah its great but lets look at reality raid starts 8pmish on a week day if everything goes as planned 2 to 3 hours to get to maestro's are then tiem to kill maestro and both hands and clear a way to the second floor now it is close to midnight one am. Over 50% of the raid leaves you regroup and head upstairs if you still have enough to go upstairs. Then the stuff is such rare drop you will be lucky to even see any drop. After that you have to roll for it with 2 or 3 other pallies or hope you are desrving enough that the guild will give it to you. What about the other armor pieces

For what it is, this armor an awesome addition to a paladin's options in terms of questing or farming spawn for drops. Nothing more or less needs to be read into this armor. Enjoy it for what it is and get on with the game.

I saw a lvl 48 Pally wearing this BP in Thurdigan and needless to say I was crushed. However, speaking to him about it I was informed that his guild raided Hate for 2 weeks straight and the only piece that dropped was the BP, no arms, legs, boots, gaunts no nothing. Just the BP. So it seems that this is ultra rare and drops from 55+ mobs on second lvl of hate. What ticks me off is you have to be in an uber guild now to do anything, no chance in hell for an average guild to accomplish anything on second lvl of hate and now that they upgraded Fear you cant hardly break in the damn zone. Not to mention that Royall Velium Frosted Armor is better than Valorium and wearable by all melee classes but monk. WTF is up with that, now our planer gear is worse than what I see lvl 12 twinks wearing in EC. Give me a damn break here. Quite frankly I think Verant is full of BS, the put all this cool stuff in the game but make it next to unattainable except for a few lucky people who happen to roll high while their uber guild conducts a 2 week raid on the planes. As far as I'm concerned Verant can take this armor, and the planes and stick it up their ***, cause I sure as hell wont ever get any.

I know exactly how You feel. I don't say it's right or wrong but You feeling is not jealousy it's frustration. In a situation like that You have to change something. You cant change the place the armor drops. Maybe you change something else. Get more high level people with you to the 2nd floor ... get your guild seek for a 'guide' to help you out there. To pull and such.

Im sure some 'UBER' guild could even give you guys one group of them to go with Your guild if You let them have the Blue Diamonds, Diamonds and other gems that drop there... armor they hardly need from there anymore... Let them take control of the raid and You sit back and learn. Fight and become more skilled.

No one is going to come and hand you the items.

Stop whining and do something about it.

Just got this Breastplate two evenings ago with a roll of 99 from the first knight we killed. Am totally jazzed and hope that all pali's get this or something similar.
#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 16 2001 at 11:56 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Although the guild attending the event would be stupid to give it to a paladin level 46-48.. but in theory now Paladins can cast Shield of Words before clerics? Ok gonna go check fear section now. Better have some comperable BP there heh
RE: ?
# Apr 29 2001 at 7:47 AM Rating: Default
You are going to have to explain why a level 46 to 48 does not rate this BP as much as ANYONE else there? I didn't know that planes rolls were weighted rolls by level. All the planes I have visited....unless you are on last piece rule....it's even-steven. You don't rate that BP anymore then the level 48 guy next to you does just cuase you are 54 or 55. So you roll and 98 and he rolls a 99....guess what....you lose. Suck it up and live with it. And I hope you go on one of my raids. Really do. Would love to drop you from the group and evac out. Man.
