Brown Chitin Protector thread
Hey guys, I have a question. I was wondering if I should buy a Brown Chitin Protector for my druid. Here are the stats.
Slot: CHEST AC: 12 DEX: +9 STA: +9 AGI: +9 WT: 10.0 Size: LARGE Class: DRU Race: HUM ELF HEF HFL ... Just kidding. I would rather wear a chest item with wisdom, mana, hp, or resists that weighs less than 10 pounds. My real question is: why are people trying to sell this for 2-3k? Is that its actual value? Has someone ever bought it for that much? And if so, are people playing melee druids or something? Is this is Diablo II expansion with a Fury werewolf build? Is this World of Warcraft with a Guardian druid tank build? Or is this EverQuest, where druids don't use AC nor agility nor dexterity and don't want to wear 10 pounds of garbage on their chest when they could have wisdom there instead? *pants heavily*

I wondered this too. Is it just for fashion quest? Because if I see a Druid wearing this I just chuckle.

I completely agree. I have some guildies (level 30+ druids) looking to buy this. This is almost a worthless piece of gear. I get that in early levels you are meleeing, and hey if you have this, more power to you. I just don't understand the value and post 20 you are barely in melee range anyways. I will stick with +wis gear chest.

I remember buying this for my druid in 1999! I was a very casual player and never got to max level on the druid, but I really liked the idea of having all those random stats and the plate look on my wood elf, I seem to remember it costing more like 500p though!
Didn't really know it wasn't good but I liked it a lot, anyway.

Just a fashion/ nostalgia item. The tints don't look right to me though so the BCP looks yellow and the BCL look greenish so I don't really care for it.

Fashionquest, nothing more... unless there's some roleplay melee druids out there tanking somewhere.

Because it makes you tankier and looks awesome. WIS not worth looking like 99% of other druids with tree pajamas.

it's a fashion quest item to pair with other plate-appearing items like:

Looks too good on a wood elf druid.
Don't be a moran. | ||

You had to be there, I suppose. The height of druid fashion back then was the Brown Chitin Protector, Black Chitin Leggings, Golden Efreeti Boots, and a Runed Falchion.
