>Well I just want the armor of ro to reflect the amount of work we have to
put in to get it, ranger/bard and shamans all have ALOT easier quests and
their armor is alot better, which doesnt make sense.. Just make the armor
reflect the difficulty of the quests is all I want.. Oh btw I finally got my
smithing up to 101 after MANY hours of tedious work in the forge, not sure
if 101 is enough though, anyone tried making ro armor with 101 skill? Anyone
FAILED?
