So how do we start this ? is a quest will there be a raid dropped component like in PoP?<div></div>

[Nocifer Deathblade]

<div></div><div>Wow! Godly!  Maybe same concept as SOV quest style of armor huh? That we need 1 no-drop piece and add 3 trade able gems to get a piece eh?</div>

[Lord Montague]

<div></div>On the stats side of things - those are simply beautiful.  I've heard that the NO-TRADE items that we have to acquire drop off of T7 raid content, can anyone confirm this and if so...what kind of raid content?  While it would be nice to have, I'm afraid this may be prohibitive to me acquiring this armor since I rarely raid.

[mikeyswizz]

<div>Any information that can be provided on how to get these items will be greatly appreciated</div>

[Ultimatum]

The stats on this armor set is increadible...but I have 1 gripe with them.  they have bonuses to pierceing/slashing/crushing, but most of an SK's damage comes from SPELLS rather than melee.  I'd really like to see some + to Disruption and a decent bonus to Focus, as a big problem with tanking as an SK is having our spells interrupted while taking damage.  Other than that they look awesome, and hopefully the Graphic of the set is unique....would love to see a screen of someone wearing this <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[espmrred]

<div>You need Relic Plate ______ pieces to get the armor, they're no-trade drops from a specific raid zone (may be more but if so we haven't seen them anywhere else yet). I won't say where, because IMO these things have already become way to common, but if you look around the forums enough you'll find more details.</div>

[Nocifer Deathblade]

<div></div><div>Lol, defintely SOV armor quest style then heh. SOE knew that EQ1 SOV was one of best thing that came to EQ1 so it seems that they wanted to copy some ideas of SOV and brought into EQ2. Here comes Relic armor heh.</div>

<div></div>Always thought it was going to be black...great crap color. Atleast the stats are very good.

<div>Yes, I was really going to post the zone where the situation is already being heavily abused so, even more people can go in and absuse soe's [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]up to make the gear even more trivial.</div><div>As for people linking stuff in guk.sk and then being quiet -- have you perhaps ever sent them a tell? Most of the raiders I talk to in there are more than willing to give slight hints/tips in tells, but won't go ahead and do it in the actual channel.</div>

[Kryptonix]

<div>nice armor but why do we only get 2 pieces that add int?? one of which adds less than 20 int.</div>

[Lord Montague]

<div></div><blockquote><hr>Kryptonix wrote:<div>nice armor but why do we only get 2 pieces that add int?? one of which adds less than 20 int.</div><hr></blockquote>Because not all shadowknights are going to emphasize INT.  Depends on what you're going for.

[Kryptonix]

<div>A good chunk of our damage comes from Int. Its hard to imagine an SK emphasizing Wis more then Int. Might as well become a pally.</div>

<div>How about some screenshots during the day, max out ur gfx when you take them <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>Plant</div>

<div><span><blockquote><hr>Kryptonix wrote:<div>nice armor but why do we only get 2 pieces that add int?? one of which adds less than 20 int.</div><hr></blockquote>I wondered that at first, but I don't have a hard time capping my INT.  Even when solo I can hit the cap without having to swap out any of my armor, none of which has INT on it.  I'm actually glad it is used the least because I'd rather build up those other stats I need.</span></div>

[Tasmai]

<div>Nice concept and while it looks cool, I can see the BP and legs as being the only thing I'd wear, after seeing some of the better dropped fabled.</div>

[Mathe]

<div></div>Anyone know if the helmet gets all flattened and deformed when Iksar wear it?

[Sinafa]

<div></div>All i can say is nice been waitin to get there and now workin my way to gettin the different armor pieces now!

[Kaedi]

<div>Off-topic but whats that little purple floating rune Mor?  I've seen it on folks ingame from time to time.</div>

[Lord Montague]

<div></div><blockquote><hr>Kaedian wrote:<div>Off-topic but whats that little purple floating rune Mor?  I've seen it on folks ingame from time to time.</div><hr></blockquote>It's an affect that comes from the reward for the Mark of Awakening quest.  Personally, I think the floating rune looks a little silly - once I have this item I do hope there is a way to turn this off, presuming it's tied to the show-illusion flag.
