    I have found leather and even studded leather in large size. But can't find any better.... anyone got any suggestions. I have tried many shops but they never seem to show up for sale... was not wanting to hack the game to get it to show up though.

    Well you can build a large Feather-Weight Chainmail in the Smithy discipline. And I bet you can buld other better armors whith other shematics also.

    Armor for Elfs/Humans is commonplace; but I have had trouble finding large and small form factors too. From the beginning, I stash stuff and monitor the condition of all equipment subject to damage. There may be more than the following places to store items; but these are the ones I use:

    1. The first two barrels at the crash site cave.

    2. The chest in my BlackRoot room at the Inn (after completing the Inn Keeper's quest).

    3. Down the sewers of Tarant there is a room with chest a short distance from the entrance outside the train station.

    Armor spawn appears a bit fickled at times, meaning a particular size can become very difficult to find. With a Large Leather Armor PLUS a spool of Heavy Wire you create Featherweight chain armor. Add Dwarvian plate/metal and you get a Large Elite Plate, so saving a couple sets of Leather Armor until I can create better is what I have done.

    need to find Nasrudin on Thanatos, you can find some large plate mail on the two Ogre Destroyers. They are in the pub in Black Root standing guard for the master gambler.

    If you have a good ability in Tech you can make the regenerative leather armour. I think it requires leather armour and an electrical harness.

    Here is a good question. If you are making armor as a techie, is the armor you create sizable to your character, or only normal size?

    the armor you create i.e. Large feather weight chainmail would require you having a large leather with the wire, regardles of your size
    edit: and the regenerative armor was bugged for me, it never worked

    jinxed,
    Were you carrying charges while wearing the electrical armour? Most of that discipline's items require power including the armour.

    I know, but at the time I had the magnetic aversion chapeu. and always kept some batteries just in case it should require charges, but strangly it never used any. and it worked without any in my inventory. but the armor was bugged.
    2. WOW!!! First time I see you out of the roleplaying forum!!

    sogg without any speed penalties with a pyro axe.. yes! strangely he never needed anything more than the leather since he always has an abundence of hit points. and I always made him carry heavy stuff. so In order to get maximum effect no heavy things untill really necessery 1200 stone armor is really not necessery for him.

    Just give him the most damage resistant armour you can find, throw on Shield of Protection if you can (just thought of that now :smile:) and let him tank and kill for you, really quickly. Oh, also get him an arcane great sword...

    is he dies even without armor, it probably means you need to leave the fight for now, since it's alittle too hard
