Tree Weave  

 

You know.... This thing is really awesome compared to a ry'gorr tunic. BUT I wouldn't recomend this item to any female pally's. I hate to say but it just does NOT go along with plate. I had to re sell this item.

I loved my old look - giant scalemail sleeves (black), ivy etched tunic (green), silver plated leggings. It was a sweet look and I was sorry to see it go.

Managed to pick this up in EC after selling off my Shroud of Nature. Picked up Rygorr sleeves and then my guild sisters helped me complete the Kromrif Military Leggings quest. (::sniffles only briefly about selling the ivy etched tunic she wore for 30+ levels::)

Have added at least 10AC and have gained a completely new look in the process. The tunic on a human looks like the tunic that the female druids at the WC druid port wear. The leggings aren't the most attractive but with the Treeweave, the Rygorr legs, the Ice Forged Shackles (great quest in Iceclad for any melee), it looks pretty nice, and of course, being all brown/gold, I now blend into forests. Heh heh!

The nice thing is that this tunic has 5 more ac than rygorr (been there, wore that, hated the look) but the same STR. The weight kind of sucks, but my STR overall is high enough that it's rarely a problem. AC is soooo critical to a ranger - I weild a velium axe of the venemous brood and a wurmy (well, I'll upgrade the wurmy when I can but oh, the damage is sweet). Recently I tanked for a group in Sol - 3 shamans, 1 chanter, 1 druid, and me - I held the aggro and they DOT'ed/nuked everything to bits.

Rangers don't LIKE to be tanks, but we CAN tank when the situation arises. This tunic is a nice addition to help us do so. :-)

hello all, to all worried about matching sets of these armors or that armor, when your in a plane getting hit for 100's of points of damage, at least youll look pretty when YOUR dead, if you are a tank AC comes before a nice matching ****** set of armor, trust me i gave up my rygor bp, for a treeweave, i looked damn sweet in all rygor, but 7 AC more is invaluable, you can look pretty dead, panzy, ill be alive laughing over your corpse, but certainly admiring your fashion sense, im a mutt of armors, and betetr off for it! oh go to the hole with pretty armor, i know some elementals who will like to smack on your low AC butt, oh and ive noticed, AC is a formula, the 7 AC adds more than 7 AC, take a look, over my rygor BP

I just got one of these for my Ranger and in my opinion it really is best suited to them, we have such a crappy AC the 25 is pretty sweet, compare that to the Ivy Etched Tunic AC 19, Str +3 Wis +3 and some saves. It was a hard choice but 6AC and 7 more Strength is worth the 3 Wis loss in the end cause when it comes down to it we are a melee oriented class and we shouldn't be putting too much drain on our mana anyway. Other Hybrids can wear way better armor but the Rangers choices are somewhat limited, this fills the gap nicely with all the agro we take off MOB's we may not be suited to tank, we may not even want to tank but tank we'll have to. Rangers have a big target on their forehead whether they like it or not so any extra AC is desperately needed. With that AC we can worry a little less and show those other Hybrids the true meaning of damage. People often forget that Rangers are the only class close in damage potential to the Warrior almost even if you take everything into account. You can't expect a paladin to keep agro with a Ranger in the group because the Ranger will do far more damage. More damage=a Ranger punching bag. So don't scoff at this item it will help you be less of a drain on the healer.

As far as how this thing looks (I'm a Wood Elf BTW), I was really disappointed to see it's almost identical to leather which I loathed at low levels. In actuality it looks pretty sweet, at low levels I was in nothing but leather so I was this boring brown looking thing, but now I've got my green blue gloves, black helm and green everything else so when mixed together it's got kind of a neat looking effect. With the Ivy Etched Tunic on I was looking pretty green (it's not easy being green) this tunic really helps to complete a thrown together look that I rather like

Was wondering what this looks like on a female woodelf? Fashion isn't EVERYTHING, but it does count a bit. :)

Anyone know the drop rate of this fine armor? We've camped Gorgul for about a week straight, about 5 hours a day (deep in the night actually), and have dropped him about fifteen times. No luck. I've heard several different answers:

1 in 10
1 in 50 (ack!)

Anybody know? Since Gorg himself only spawns about once every 45 minutes or hour, this could be a hell of a camp.

here it is: If I get my epics as monk, I need a chestpiece, and i can put the T staff away for a while. Still not being too rich, I was looking for an alternative better then a CCS...

so this came to mind.

25 ac 10 str. not too bad. 12 stones hurts though. But with T staff goners, I'll be at 8 weight, and I'd only be 2 overweight wearing this item, which means a loss of 8-10 ac...

Don't forget you get added ac for each piece. For a monk it's like add 2 ac for every 3 you get on a item ( more or less ); so this thing hands 41 AC instead of 15+10 = 25 (robe of the whistling fists)
Okay, I'll lose about 10 AC wearing it so 31 netto AC left over.

I think i'll sell some stuff I still have in the bank and get me one of these till I get my hands on a PSC, fungi, PoG chestpiece or Kael quest armor (darn faction)

Basically it comes down to this: As a monk, if you have the weight spare, this item can be a cheap solution.
If not, watch the AC it takes, and see if it still doesn't come out better then that dull CCS or whatever ;)

just my 2 cp

This is one of the nice pieces of armor that I could easily afford or get myself but IT IS TO BIG!! why are there so many things that dont fit small races? being a dwarf i can't wear Treeweave, Hero Bracer, or NICE Imbued Granite Spaulders someone please show me something high quality that only us shorties can wear. I am tired of getting the once over

This item was made thinking of Rangers =)

The thing about the rygorr is that you can get a nice full set, wait you can get a matching set of treeweave...leather!

Don't make me laugh! this piece is WAY better than Ry'Gorr and honestly the only class that really needs to worry about their chestpiece being too heavy are monks and purecasters. Anyone who can wear plate will tell you that most of the high AC armors weigh around 10 stone anyways so the 25ac +10str is a huge improvement over EBBP for instance which is 25 ac no stats and only 2 stone lighter. For the classes that can't wear plate....stop complaining this item is virtually a blessing for your classes with the same AC as some good plate you better be willing to take the 12 stone which isn't killer anyways. This is however totally not a monk item but would make a great chestpiece for any of the other classes that can wear. As for rogues...you guys are supposed to have a bunch of str to backstab for more dam anyways.
