Scrubby, I was too quick to dismiss your comments my appologies for that. It seems like you are correct, if there is no Ornate Chain then the trivial levels for both Banded Armor and Fine Plate are too low. After me not being able to find any dates on the introduction of Ornate Chain I started t
his thread on EQTraders asking for help on tracking down the date when Ornate Chain came out. The overal consensus is that Ornate Chain was added thru a patch at some point between Classic and Kunark, but before it was introduced the trivial levels for Banded and Fine Plate were alot higher.
So that would put the devs in a situation (assuming they would pursue this) where they need to either increase the trivial levels for banded to close the gap or add ornate chain back to the mix. I recommend adding back ornate chain as banded is too cheap to make and it would make it very easy to reach fine plate.
