Post CC, fulginate is crap. non bp/legs: 202 mitigation per piece. treasured (dropped ebon/rubicite) is 242. Visit the broker and buy treasured pieces before everyone gets wise and the prices jack up through the roof. <div></div>

<P>Thanks Will do.</P> <P>I was almost tempted to splurge on some ebon for 1.6plat.  But the prices should drop as more rares hit the market.</P>

T5 Ebon is and will always have better Mitigation than T6 Common (Indium) Ide say get as much Ebon armor as you can and save up for T6 Rare cause spending any money on Indium is throwing it away.  Armorers have to be really [Removed for Content] atm. </span><div></div>

I dinged 40 on Monday and did some shopping that night. Pristine Imbued Ebon was selling for 1.5p, clusters for 1p. Being poor (2p or thereabouts--no sugar daddy twinking me <span>:smileysad: </span>) I bought some fulginate (3g per piece) and figured I'd wait for ebon prices to drop. Big mistake! Yesterday Pristine Imbued Ebon was 3-5p per piece (and less than 6 pieces of armor total on both brokers!) and clusters were selling for about the same amount! I hope the market catches up to the better rare drop rates soon cause fulginate sucks. -Will

I was referring to treasured drops, not the fabled crafted stuff.  I've got pieces of treasured rubicite, ebon, and orc lord, and they all share the same mitigation (242, non-bp/legs)  Stats and resists vary greatly though.  Pre-combat changes, these treasured pieces were selling in the 4g-10g range on butcherblock.  Post changes, I paid 11g for a bracer to replace my fulginate - you may be able to find similar deals before people realize the treasured drops are now superior to the crafted. Armor mitigation appears to be strickly based on tier, and quality: Handcrafted->treasured->legendary->fabled Crafted feysteel (legendary t4) is marginally better than treasured t5. Treasured ebon/rubicite is equipable at 38+ and better than fulginate (has better mitigation (2ish) than the t6 handcrafted still).   Crafted ebon is legendary and better than treasured. so....mitigation wise: crafted t5  < t6 crafted ~ treasured t5 ~ legendary t4  < legendary t5 I'm not positive where legendary t4 fits next to t6 crafted/treasured t5 (my only t4 legendary is legs)....The t6 gloves have less mitigation than t5 treasured though.  I think though that legendary t4 is a hair more mitigation than the other two.  there are much bigger jumps between crafted t5 to treasured, and from there to legendary t5. if t6 is similar, then: crafted t5  < t6 crafted < treasured t5 < legendary t4  < treasured t6 < legendary t5 < legendary t6 The piece or two of treasured t6 I've seen has much better hps though than the legendary t5 stuff.   Didn't see the mitigation on it though, but I'd assume its very close to legendary t5 if it follows the previous pattern. <div></div>

<DIV>But the stats on those seem less, including the resistance.  At least the ones I saw.   So I'll stick with my fulginate till I get some ebon.</DIV>
