New starting area armour

Have really enjoyed the new starting area so far, tried 4 new chars.:) Thanks for the refresh.

A question about the newcomer's armour (and sided) - what level does it top at?
The reason I ask, is that it may negate Nodda Greg and Living Cyber armour missions.
Perhaps they could be rewritten to give other wearable items instead?

Is it really worth wearing for that long? Do the ACs scale that well?

Not really much AC if you just go for the full Set , i wouldnt wear it past Elysium if you expect getting Aggro.

Another question, does Living Cyber Armour still max at level 50?

It goes up to 200. And the overall mods are fantastic for Tanky profs, both paid and froob in terms of cost effectiveness.

QL200 Living Cyber Armour set:

Cold AC: 2185
Fire AC: 2185
Melee/ma AC: 3500
Imp/Proj AC: 3500
Chemical AC: 700
Disease AC: 700
Energy AC: 3059
Radiation AC: 700
Max Health: 1360 (!)
Max Nano: 1360 (!)

While the ACs have some pretty significant holes, it covers most of the usual damage. But those HP/Nano mods. Unf. For an armour that levels with you, costs literally nothing and is available to froobs. It's become fairly fantastic.

Also this. Anyone who thinks ACs don't do anything is severely misinformed.

The Living Cyber Armour used to drop in the Subway , but i heard Org-Mates Complain about not getting any drops after 18.7 .
Not sure if it was just bad luck or if the Drop has stopped / is being patched ... ??

I've been through the subway a few times, I don't know what happened to your org-mates but it seems to me fairly easy to get a full set of Living armor.

I got a full set in under an hour.

Plus you can also do the Good Time Party Mixer quests for pieces.

Has anyone gotten the auto-leveling to work on Newcomer's? Leveling a new keeper and I had to manually level all of my pieces, I thought it was supposed to level with you without taking it off.

Correct. Newcomers Armour you have to manually upgrade with a clicky.

That sucks. And it doesn't level all the way in one click, it still uses the way out of date system where 1 click = 1 level. That's awful, come on Michi.
