I understand that once you reach Droknar's the armour available from the crafter has the best AC value in the game, and the other crafters at marhans, granite, fissure and underworld (i am unsure if this has been confirmed?) have armour of purely asthetic and boast value.

However I know that not all the 15k armour had received a redesign. My question is, has the 15k druid's armour for the ranger been lucky and received one? Or maybe, has any of the rangers armour been redesigned at the 15k end. What are the differences between what is available at granite and marhans and what is available at fissure and underworld? I scan the forums and read about "eternal" armour but do not know much about it. (I know about the loopy crafting materials required for the fissure armour and such.)

I do not wish to outlay 15k only to be disapointed when I can save it and hopefully A.Net will add the content at a later date.

Answers appreciated.

I bought frosted armor (Ranger) in Ascalon when fur was 700-900 a pop... and the 15k i bought recently looks strikingly similar at least, if not identical.

I didn't start taking screenshots till after I dumped my Ascalon armor so can't tell you if they're differnt.

I can post a picture (if someone tells me how -- I dont have a server to host it)

I have faith that the 15k will eventually be redesigned for sure

EDIT : Posted picture a few posts down

The most common 15k set for rangers is the drakescale set from Grotto, which does look different and actually appears fairly nice. That set looks like


If you search around the forums a bit, you can find further pictures.

does this 15k armour actually cost 15,000 gold, if so thats a hell of a lot of gold for one piece of armour

Yup, 15K each. You also need special crafting materials so I hear. The only difference between Drokanr's Forge Armor and the 15K armor is looks.

This is also a /bump post, as I'm also curious what the 15K Druid armor looks like for Rangers.

I would like to see what any of the ranger amour looks as I was a it disappointed in my last set. Is there any site that list pics of each level of amour!?

As of right now, only the drakescale looks different for the rangers. The druid's does "NOT" look different.

As I recall, the studded leather set also looks different, but nobody uses it.

everyone says the druid 15k armor doesn't look different, which would have to mean someone has bought it, but nobody every posts pictures of it. i figure it might look the same but dyes differently. the frost armor looks similar but dyes differently, so i figure the druids might be the same. well, once i get the money, i'll buy the druid 15k set and post pics if someone else doesn't do it first. if it's the same, then i'm sure it'll be updated sooner or later or else it would defy the whole point of even having it available for 15k.

I have the 15 Druids chest and it is IDENTICAL I'm not sure about the other parts but I know druids is the same even the dye locations.

I also bought a piece of the 15k druid set. It is identical to the cheaper set. However, once they do update the armors any pieces you already bought will update as well. At least that is my understanding from the patch update notes.

I'll post a picture if you want... but you won't notice anything different.
