Hmm, this one could also use possible symbiant setup for trader, both leveling and end-game alphas. Still I have got my to-be-ts-slave(dd engs aren't best option for ts, nerf eoe without TS skills) trader on quite a speed with this

Can anyone please post the stats for a Tier 1 trader armor?
Here's a list: http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search...st+tier+trader
Ah, thanks for that post. I'll switch all the links to AUNO links.
[EDIT] Here ya go bud :)
The only thing I miss on my trader, the awesomest looking T3 for social ever!
Thanks for the link. I noticed that Tier 1 does not have any head gear. I am still using an advanced salesman's hat and looking to upgrade. One option I have is Predator Armor facemask. Can someone suggest alternatives?
Get someone to hack the Facemask if you want to use that, as it makes a universal item (instead of an Agent-only version). It's fantastic for the +1 crit, but if you don't want to use that, Barter Helmet/Omni Steel-Ribbed Helmet work great. Remember, we're not too fussy on armor, just so long as it has decent ACs, good mods, and adds evades, HP, NP, or a combination thereof. :)
Found the info. Requires 600 B&E.
I would like to ask at what level can the Corporal Ashley Winstead quest be soloed? If it were a team that would do the quest would each member of the team get the dogtag to complete the quest?
Need some trader advice if you don't mind. Been 174 for ages and gotten a smattering of ofab stuff. Should I stay a bit longer just to get my 300 set and a higher shotty? Pretty tired of waiting at that current lvl, but dont have nearly enough money for ai armor or anything. Weapon wise I am planning to use that upgraded salabim, but I'm not sure how I'll be set for armor. Any advice is greatly appreciated (should I stay 174/what other good post 200 armor is there)!
I stuck with Barter for quite a while. OFAB Chest can be pretty spiffy for the extra Shotgun, but quite frankly as we're not expected to take aggro and our nanopool and nanoskills are never low, you can walk around in Barter, Azure, Merlins, what have you and still hold up well.
As for weapons, ignore the Silverback and keep going with either FSS/KP1 or Kyr Shotgun Type 1 until you can acquire the Greed of the Xan.
There are 2 decent armor options if you don't use alien armor. At 216 you can use enhanced dust brigade armor. And when you can get 1001 agi and str, you can also use http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=267317 (drops off dreadloch bosses and it can't be worn with bracer's or other armor pieces).
The ofab armor you would want for endgame is the backarmor, ring, shoulder and helmet. The rest is kinda "meh". At least compared to Enhanced Dust Brigade armor.
At endgame for chest you can get the Mystical force shirt for defense setup (and use enhanced dust brigade shirt for offense). It drops in chests in SL dungeons and missions.
Whether or not you farm ofab pieces at 174 depends on if you want to be able to twink them on before you reach level 210, where you can get faster VP from 210-220 BS.
Silverback MK6 shotgun is only good for PvP. Or rather, there are better PvM options than Silverback.
Thanks for all the advice! Don't get me wrong, I love bs; but after being there for a while I'm ready to move on up. Atm I have 200 ofab; with the back and shoulders bought and a 200 silverback Mk 5 (better for pvm since I have like no conceal). Hoping this will hold me up, but I really appreciate hearing about the other things I can get. Was thinking of a good type-1 ai shotgun eventually but can't seem to find any type 1's (made or biomaterial) anywhere. Of course as mentioned earlier, endgame I was planning on using the super salabin (do not have xan yet unfortunately). Once again, thanks for the quick response time
Keeping tradeskilling ability and combat abilities (some PvP and PvM) requires some serious sacrifices and lots of items for hotswaps but it is possible (my trader is example of that). Weapon choice for that setup is shotgun due to lowest IP cost (You can have Aimed Shot Maxed and enough Fling Shot too). Maxing out all tradeskills isn't necessary- half of the IP bar is enough except psychology and of course computer literacy- but it does require carefull planning and set of tradeskilling gear.
I recommend carefull IP spending all the way up to 220 (or full IP reset at lvl 220) and spending IPs into tradeskills once You get tradeskilling gear ready.
Tradeskilling traders are a dying species.
