Iksar velious plate

[demokatt]

People always say that iksars get to wear plate in Velious. Just curious.. what armour is it? Are there quest ed armour sets, mob drops or raid stuff?

Also, what is the definition of plate, the looks or a certain amount of ac?

[jolanar]

Most Velious raid gear that is meant for warriors/sks is also equipable by Iksars. Thurgadin quest armor for example.

It's just the graphic that makes it plate, although plate gear typically does have more AC. Iksars do technically get a plate graphic, although it pretty much just looks like reskinned chain armor.

Ok thanks.. So Sebilite scale is not considered plate altough it looks like metal? Atleast the helmet does.

I noticed that those thurgadin quest drops of some mobs around 50 level? Are those killable solo or duo for a player around 50- 55? Or is kael too hard for that?

You can probly get a plate house group in kael if those are still a thing

Only plate drops there, so you could theoretically get a full set in an evening

If you want to min/max I think Kael armor for SK's is technically "stronger" vs the Skyshrine set:

Kael SK Armor:
235 AC, 39 STR, 25 DEX, 11 STA, 32 INT, 8 AGI, 150 HP, 120 MANA, 3 FR, 6 DR, 4 CR, 17 MR, 3 PR

Skyshrine SK Armor:
206 AC, 36 STR, 25 DEX, 32 STA, 28 INT, 12 AGI, 230 HP, 190 MANA, 7 FR, 8 DR, 8 CR, 38 MR, 8 PR

However, it ultimately comes down to your choice in which faction you want to grind. There's more AC to be had with Kael, but the Skyshrine set gives more HP which could arguably be more useful?

They're both better than Thurg armor so...:
155 AC, 31 STR, 12 STA, 11 DEX, 1 AGI, 29 INT, 155 HP, 95 MANA, 13MR, 4CR, 4FR, 4PR, 1DR

*Addition: I used the stat metrics for SK since they're close to warrior excepting the need for Mana/INT. I'm not sure of the stats on the Warrior quested Velious armor but all the stats listed here were ctrl+v from the Wiki.
