i think that for a ranger the ry'gorr would be better to have because of the stats but the good thing about this one is that on a ranger it looks like a bp and not chain
I believe that this is one of the (2) Plate-look BPs that a Ranger can hope to attain early on in life. The other is the Barnacle Breastplate, a quested item from Erudin.
The Barnacle BP quest is super easy; the hard part is getting your Deepwater Knights faction to high-amiable. Two suggestions: Kobold Molars and repeated slayage of Elial Brook, the necro out by the docks in Toxx Forest.
Yea ok ill admit looks are better on Mithril then Ry'gorr but you still gotta like the stats like what if Mithril was -10 HP and +2 STR. what would you wear then?....Ry'gorr if it wasnt as bad but your right Ry'gorr Looks like a chain...it sux for Rangers!:) Tazain, 18 , human ranger

When I equipped the bp on my half elf rogue, he gained 31 ac overall. So that agi contributed 14 extra ac. That's pretty nice. But that 10lb weight really stinks unless you have good str.

What're you nuts? This gives +15 agility! This gives the most agility that a breastplate can give that isn't no drop. Good for twinking. The hp isn't that big of a deal unless your level 1 through about 10.
This was the bone thrown to angry rogues and rangers who growled and griped about not having any plate-ish armor. :) It's a sweet BP though, and +15 to any stat on a SINGLE piece of gear is extremely nice. The +15 Agi means that all of your armors' effective AC increases, so keep that in mind before turning this down because of 'only' 17 AC. Can't tell you how cool this looks on a half elf female warrior with crafted and scav/serp bracers.
Wait until someone auctions this at 500pp... it happens occasionally, and at that price it's a friggin' steal. Get your Str and Sta up with other cheap gear (jagged bands, orc fang ears, crafted gaunts, BI girdle, Karana's Tear), this BP is nice.
Sure, this isn't the best item in the game but it does look nice at least. It's a pretty good mid level BP for Rogues and Rangers in terms of AC and the HP gains. Remember, those 15 Agility add up to a few more AC over the base as well. The weight on it is a little high for its usefullness but dammit, who doesn't like the shiny plate look for their chain classes? It might even be ok for an Agility challenged Warrior but the AC is pretty low for when you can afford it or hunt it.
