Why was it removed? Doesn't seem like anything spectacular outside of BP which I would hardly call OP.

Remember that it also predated, and was replaced by, class specific armor quests.and temple of Ro quests. So what was good armor for many classes was all in one zone. Maybe it was always intended to be temporary like how jboots dropped in najena.

Again, on classic it seemed to have been much more coveted after it was removed vs p99. Lot of hype about guide and magazines on green but haven't seen anyone even mention rubicite yet.

Yeah basically, it gave Rogues, Bards, Shamans, Paladins, Warriors, Rangers, all of them, the same max AC by gear.

It was replaced with class armor with higher and lower AC distributions for the various types of melee classes.

Same deal with Lustrous Russet armors.

Edit: RE why it wasn't so coveted here, the stats provided by this only slightly magically imbued armor were left in the dust when Kunark came out.

Take the rogue class armor for example.

If I recall correctly it was due to the sheer amount of issues from players fighting over it in CT. At least, that's what I heard that one time.

This is why I remember it being removed. CT was an absolute shit show back in the day.

Rubi was never popular here because we couldn't actually get it at appropriate levels. CT was beyond buggy on blue to the point that barely anyone did it. The people who went into CT to get rubi generally were bored level 50s. IIRC the pathing wasn't fixed until after rubi was already removed. So it was basically just armor you would pick up for your twinks.
