or effort to get it. I purchased it for 75pp on The Nameless in the EC tunnel. I switched from the Drolvarg Mantle to this. I lose a few ac and SvF but the 10SvM is worth it. I'm fighting at SolB currently and having SvM over 40 definately helps resist the kobold shammy spells (slow, root, etc)
Funny, I did almost the same thing. However, I did it for the +3 STR instead of the +6 AGI. The SvM helps too, it puts me over 50. Oh, and I didn't buy it, just looted it in Unrest. Fun, fun, fun!!!
This is a great item for pvp for a few reasons. One reason being that it is so easy to get. You can either buy it for anywhere under 100pp, or if you are around 30 you can get it to drop off the undead knight in unrest without any problems. It almost drops every time. This item is good for many levels, because there arent a lot of better shoulders you can get at affordable prices until the higher levels. All in all- a great pvp item, dispensible, and affordable.
As a newly made blackguard and on pvp server I can tell you this little item is a lifesaver. I snagged mine at lvl 20 and havent stopped wearing it since. I switch off to more ac shoulders if I need.I resist a lot of mr based spells but the other guy is right at higher end its HR and CR that make or break you. LOL see how many IC you can eat w/ low CR. Or live thru 2 or 3 lures and then talk to me. Personally I am going after the Vex Xi Vius a nifty new item for range it offers way more resist than the good ole RBF and is pretty common drop. Add the mantle up w/ BD jewlery, a decient head piece, the ranged item and you in business
See you all in the funny papers !

I looted this off a Magician just last night while searching for the Dark Circlet for the Crafted armor quest. Not only did I get the Mantle, but the Bloodstained Boots, Pants and Coif as well. (Not bad for a 4 hour Raid) BTW, all the items were dropped from Greater Skeletons and the Magicians. (possibly the necromancers but they mostly dropped cloth stuff)
So head over to the most underused Dungeon in the game. I am planning a revisit again tonight. =)
I rate this I item as underated because I did not know how important resist are as a main tank I when playing against caster mobs they try to cast walking sleep and such on me but are resisted and when it does hit is only for short periods. Do u need uber resist at lower levels no but it helps to increase it from base levels. Also I had been charmed twice before I bought this none after. the magic resist on this item is the potatoes and the str is the gravy.
I just bought it off of a vendor in FV for 127pp. Overpaid? Absolutely. Did I mind? Nope. I'll gladly give 127pp for a +3 increase to my STR. All day, Everyday.
Hi, Magic Resist is well mmm kinda useless. Only reason i am posting here is b/c you think at higher lvl's we need MR no we don't higher lvls it's Cold and Fire resist. You go to ToV with a shi* load of MR asnd see if you don't die fast lol. Mostly all dradons either cast Fire/Cold basted Spells/AE's.
you can say that because you don't play on a PvP server =/ MR/PR/DR/CR/FR is needed more than int/wis/str/agi/cha/dex/sta when you are PvPing a caster/hybrid...ok well, maybe not more than all of those, but resists are still DAMNED important tks.
I think some people here miss the point of this item at higher levels, one you get MR for this and the same MR as Imbued granites, but since IBS are RARE (not ultra, but still). And cost a fortune. And not only that this piece is cheap and easy to get. But IBS are better then these cuz they have 10resist all.
Hope you are willing to wait a long time to hunt that... The RS Shoulders require a 2-3 groups of level 50+ to get. It's easier to get the Skyshrine Rogue shoulders.
sorry about all those spelling erros ill re-do hear
a rather good item for its price there arnt to many kunark or vellios shoulder's that can match the stats - price combo but the listed price is low the norm is 50-70p
a rather godo tiem for the cost not many kunark or vellios shoulder thing but i do bleave that the listed price on the site is rlly low the norm is around 50-70
At level 34 I still wear one of these.. i do want better but for a Ranger it is kind of slim pickings. Plus ac is easy to get on other items i am trying for the MR. Well at least till i can afford better.
I have one and i don't get +3WIS...i might have a +3WISH that i got +3WIS but I only get the +3STR and the +10 SvMAG which to me is GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW (lvl 18)! :o)
