Low level mobs are way to soft here. I remember at level 9 really struggling against blues, even with a bunch of banded armor and a fay mart weapon like mino axes.

Here the same fights are trivial in tattered armor and tarnished weapons. Honestly it feels better this way - that you can keep up with mobs a little longer just in the things you scrounge/craft, but I don't think it is classic.

I love games that allow crafting to be useful but not top tier.

Also faymart is top tier. Thank you for the lulz.

I'd imagine mob AC doesn't work classicly either so maybe that's why he feels the mob's are softer?

I could be wrong here but from what I understand it is the same mechanic but it seems they didn't have the stats for all mobs so they had to tune that. How AC works is well documented on eqemu and it was tested and it works the same here.

I thought it's a well known thing that the way AC works on the client is not the same as it did in classic era on live?

Ranger Gate never collapses. You always go back to bind point.
