quest armor for the most part isnt meant to be "uber".
the way i see it...were just all spoiled these days. since folks sell stuff like theres no tomorrow and you can kill rats and bats til the cows come home and buy it. i remember when banded was "uber" and if ya had a bronze BP and a lang you were god heh. this armor sucks because we're not playing the game the way it was meant to be played
i prolly wont be doing any of the luclin armor quests for any of my characters because it aint that great. but what were you expecting?! look at crafted for god's sake....its a joke
just my 2cp
flame away =)
