Quote from: CondorHero;401951Welder ' plate and coral plates are the two most common plate armor, they're not that great.
As for quest crushing, at level 8,9 and 10, it is hard to make money or get consumables any other way. Since there is always the threat of pvp, everybody wants to stockpile the consumables.
Once you figured out the loot pinata, do you stop swinging?
Compared to full plate found in previous settings they're *absolutely superb*. While I think those who do these quests should be rewarded well, I believe by them selling/giving it to lower levels it screws with the balance of the server.
