The only thing I could see that would be better than this for a lowbie would be a TLA (Thick Leather Apron) 8 ac 1.0 wt. I may be wrong but I think thats the stats. It was ubah back in the day but has gotten down to around 10pp now. And for those people who hate it when someone mentions an item and doesnt list where it drops....the TLA drops off the bartender in Unrest. =)
