Specialty Slots...

Anyone able to make "Back" items...I'm like 27 now and still haven't gotten a drop or reward for this slot....(empty = bummer) and I haven't found one from Karma npc's either. Any info on this item, where to get or if you can make it....please let us know. :)

I have seen folks wearing capes but I think they may be a guild purchase.

Someone from guild told me in-game you can get one at level 30+ and it is acquired through doing your personal story :) I'm only a smig away from 30 now when I hit that level will dedicate myself to my personal story and see what pans out :)

Guild Armorers also sell a few back slot items. The lowest level ones are level 35 (I think) and cost 1 gold.

jeebus crust, 1 gold, well, guess that means I'm going to have to save then if I want a back slot item.

Got my first back item as a personal story reward...

It's an invisible back brace. :pinch:

ROFL-LMAO!!!!

I know how you feel, I got a Back Brace as well, I had been hoping for a cape or something Visible that people would see, guess I have to go find one or something, maybe try finding a Guild Armorer and buying one, if it is better than what I have, I mean, if it is, then yeah, I'll buy it, but, if it isn't and it's just for show or something, I'll stick with the invisible back brace thank you.

Anybody got any stats for any capes or what not from the Guild Armorers, very much appreciate it if I could at least see if the capes give any stat boosts or anything.

There are very few back slot items in the game at current, and none of them provides stats beyond a single upgrade slot.

Strictly speaking, the guild armorer back piece is the only non-story reward piece of back armor, which might make it the "best" by default.

So far the best gear I found for that slot would be from the guild armorer, which cost 5g for the level 80 rare version.

Guild Armorer Backpack(s)
Level 35 = 1 Gold = Green Item
Level 60 = 3 Gold = Green Item
Level 80 = 5 Gold = Rare Item

Your personal story Back Brace will give you 4 + 3 stats = 7 total (vs) 6 + 4 stats = 10 for the level 35 Guild Armor Backpack = 1 Gold...don't spend the gold, get the free one from you personal story quest as the stats difference is not worth the $.

At 60 and 80 then consider a Guild Backpack upgrade (if you have that kind of extra $)...I went to level 80 with my personal story Back-Brace with no problems...

80 Rare Guild Backpack with give you (48) total points of mixed states like 14 + 14 + 20 like this or 20 + 14 + 14 etc.

Any idea if there are other sources?
