Has anyone else seen "good" grade armor

[philthymcnasty]

After the main armor update, some of my armor was imported as "good" grade instead of standard.

Has anyone seen good grade armor in the stores?

IS it in the construction set?

the stats on it are absurd. I take almost no damage from cutting weapons when the hit on the chest.

i looted it off someone.
but don't see it for sale.
or see it being craftable. least in my game, but i also don't have all the armour techs researched either.

[PnzrNorm]

I have almost every bit of tech researched since 0.65.0 came out, and I have not seen anything craftable higher than Standard Grade.

I have also looted a piece or two of 'good' armor, but haven't seen it for sale or been able to research it. I'm hoping there comes a point where having enough research and/or armor crafting skill will allow you to craft grades above standard.

[philthymcnasty]

who did you loot it off of?

[Hatsune_Neko]

dust bandit boss for mine.

[Danzigsam]

I got some off of a Dust Bandit boss early on after the base attacks were implemented, but nothing since then. I think it was taken back out.

I made a lot of armor after that, hoping it was like a random thing that might happen, but nothing.

I have been finding good grade armor on the Bandit bosses that have a bounty of 5k. The lower wanted once just have the usual armor.

i know its a month old thread but i think other people may be interested in this so i'll shed some light on this... so the "dust boss" is a unique npc that attacks your outpost the first time(the first dust raid) and he carries "good quality grade" armor. He is flagged as unique and wont re spawn if you kill him. the only "good quality grade" stuff in game currently is mercenary plate, plate boots, and a headband. This is from digging through the construction set to figure out where i got my own set of "good grade stuff" currently he's the only npc that spawns(that ive found and i was pretty meticulous in my search) that has good grade gear.

I have got two different sets of Mercenary Plate, one of which is the standard grade, whereas the other is not graded, but definitely higher in quality, but lower in value. The standard grade set, I'm sure I crafted it, but I can't be 100% sure that I crafted the other one as well. I have seen the 'Good' graded ones from the unique bandit boss but first time I'm seeing this ungraded one.

[Zeal]

That mercenary plate isn't crafted. It was made via the duplication bug.

I have everything reserached to maximum, and there is nothing I can make beyond Standard quality.

[Ben]

Ah... that would explain it. I have been manually removing the armour to the storage and therefore plenty of putting things over one and another, and triggered the bug this way.

[Azumazi]

The only good grade armor I have is from the mobs I gave it to that I took it from. The Sand Ninja in my game have good grade armor along with the Samurai Lords, Paladins, and Sand Ninja Jounin. I did this mostly to make them harder to kill along with their high skills in the 40+ range and the Lords having 55-60 with the Ninja Masters having around 75-80.

It also gives me something to go out and farm considering I can manufacture the best weapons, so why not have something worth farming off those uncommon groups like ninja's? When I am done tweaking my mod I'm going to post it up for others to enjoy since I also changed weapons quite a bit with damage and also adjusted certain armors as well.
