The rest can remain as rare as they are now. You don't find chainmails of invul that often. Not to mention anything made out of any other material than iron.

Yeah but check out studded. Do a dungeon and you already have forty/invul set together.

So what's exactly wrong with invul parts having more AR than cloud giants?

Leather armor is best for sneaking, because it's literally made from hide.

Why people should buy cloud giant sets if they can get more AR with invul sets and use magic reflection? If you loose magic reflection you insta cast new one. Ice fiend set? Doesnt have any special effect and has less AR than invul studdeds. Why people should buy that?
Take giant bone armor, i think this one gives more AR than invul bones. That makes sense already. Phoenix bones? same or more AR than invul bones.

That's why I said do the same stuff with leathers and bones and make them equally rare as it is with plates/chainmails.

Don't be so sure on the Ice Fiend attribute, it offers more than just AR.

Best example so far...

Phoenix bone 38-39 AR 300k
invu bone suit about same 20k if someone bothers to buy one

Also you find special bone parts of fortification and invulnerability too much...

i tested with several bone types and guarding is already better than exceptional.

defense, exceptional, guarding, elite, hardening

and as far as i know guarding special hide/bone armours are being dropped A LOT.

I just mixxed some awesome magic studded parts together = 44 AR + some nice elemental protection. Ive found manymany such parts. Should be more rare indeed.

There's no doubt the drop rate of magic hides/bones is broken, but none of us wanted to complain about it. :lol:

It has to go, or become very rare.
