Dropped off a Coterie Scout tonight. They are roamers in Tenebrous Mountains. Con is blue @ 49. Went down pretty easy, never Life Tapping. (A lot easier then the Coterie Assassins in Katta.) He was also carrying a Coterie Short Sword (4/20, 1hs). I have also gotten Coterie Boots off the Scouts, so it seems that the scouts drop the full range of armor as well as the static spawns.
The coterie stuff has a sweet look, if anyone has seen the Coterie longsword/sheild or any other parts they look sweet, but i was suprised to find this inventory graphic, i doubt these look like leather compaired with the weapons, but since they drop off animals it is possibles that these are suppost to be their skin or something... who knows
Bought a pair for 5pp from a merchant in Katta Castellum (sp?), as they're an upgrade to studded leather. :) As for the look, they DO NOT have the standard leather graphic. On my WE, they show up as a much darker brown than standard leather. Not much in the way of texture/design, but it's a nicer color.
