The problem is we're paying 6 gold for 1/2 a point of Piercing protection. That doesn't seem a bit off to you?? I don't mind paying a premium for high quality equipment, but usually it's worth it.Exanima rounds the values in UI window to the nearest 0.5 units (half a circle). So the difference between two stats, that are nominally the same, could be up to 0.5 points. Still what's the problem? I'd say you are getting a pretty sweet deal.
Also better coverage. The better coverage for the exceptional quality basically reduces the "weak spots" the piece of armor has and so it has better overall damage reduction.The problem is we're paying 6 gold for 1/2 a point of Piercing protection.

With all due respect - I think you're looking at this from a 'power-gamer's' perspective. Same as I usually do. At first this seemed to be off and a bit unbalanced. I mean, yeah, 6gp (which is, what, ~600% increase?) for ~17% increase in coverage and ~3% increase in protection is insane.I don't mind paying a premium for high quality equipment, but usually it's worth it.
Don't forget humble and gracefulOnly the poor complain about prices. I allways buy the most expensive even if they have the same quality, thanks to my skills.
Sometimes is hard to be so skilled and rich...
Wow, personal reply from Madoc. I have to say, I have almost 500 hours logged in the game... I took almost a year off, and I've been amazed at the great updates you guys have been releasing. I can't wait for the finished product.Indeed the most fundamental difference between the two pairs of vambraces above is not the quality modifier, but the craftsmanship and design of the object. At the same exact quality level, the vambraces on the left are already over 4 times the price, and they are commonly found in superior and exceptional quality. The latter cannot be found in top quality variants and are intended as a cheap functional design.
