Who the fuck is going to even want to get a hierophant's crook, or a dragon bone bracer? The items from Plane of Sky quests suck too, aside from some outliers like the haste belt.

Planar armor can be one grouped, so that doesn't count.

There's really no reason to progress in the raiding game - even if you get those slightly better upgrades, they don't really boost your character significantly. Raid loot only lets you do content you could do previously more efficiently, and at that point why are you even playing the game?

It isn't until NTOV that you see items with significant HP or stat gains. Pretty dumb.

And let's not even get started on the horrible itemization of planar stats. Why the fuck does Valorium Greaves, for example, have INT? Literally does NOTHING for that class. https://wiki.project1999.com/Valorium_Greaves
Mostly true. Puppet strings and donals BP are super OP. Then robe of the spring/rend robe. With the timeline intact, very few people will have epics during kunark.

White Dragonscale Cloak is a minor upgrade from any other cloak available. It provides nothing to player power except more resources to wait. It's not required for progression.

Mithril BP drops from 40's group content and is on par with the red dragonscale chest. https://wiki.project1999.com/Mithril_Breastplate - Also gets upgraded with planar, which is 1-groupable as I mentioned in my previous post.

(Good luck getting either of them if you're not a warrior; they're a hotly contested item, and when you're zerging with 40+ people to kill Nagafen, the chances of you, the common raider, getting that is slim unless your raid attendance is high.)

Bladestopper.. arguably a good shield, but you won't be tanking on a Knight in classic (or ever) to take anything but a death touch. Warrior AC/HP is just superior throughout the era. Good for shamans I guess... but Charred Guardian Shield offers similar benefit.

Shawl of Protection isn't in.

Puppet Strings - this item isn't relevant in this era as it drops off Cazic Thule and only a few select individuals will even get the privilege of using it. Also, you don't need Puppet Strings for /anything/ in classic era, it's mainly for those who want to show off by soloing content that can already be done in a group. Yeah it's rechargeable, but good luck finding two of them and convincing the second person not to use theirs for the lifetime of classic.

Only Sky drops that are relevant are the cleric proc hammer, the FD ring, the haste belts, and the paladin swords. They're not even that great until they get upgraded later in the timeline.

Out of all those items you've posted, the only one that is even remotely relevant is Puppet Strings. You don't need any of those items to beat the content, though, just to do it with more room for error.

as a bard getting your white dragon scales now is huge as we know that is the biggest epic stopgap

bladestopper is an awesome shield that ends up being really useful for the clicky if you can get a friend/mule with one as well. There's a reason they are 450k on blue
