Throughout the game, you'll find some npcs wearing "special" armor that players can't buy.. The textures on these armors look very detailed and much more crisp compared to player armor......makes almost all 15k look like crap imo.
Check out Duke Barradin's special set of Knight's armor.....extremely detailed. I heard the reason npc armor looks alot better cause it had something to do with the player models and the fact that they can switch armor pieces.

Looks a *lot* like canthan 1.5k ranger armor to me, try green, green, grey (mebbe silver or white) or something like that. Max armor is available at Kaineng Center. You may not get exact dye coverage as the nPC, but... really close
