Talk:Ritualist's Tunic

Aren't White Mantle Ritualists Necromancers, not Mesmers?--Life Infusion 12:29, 28 February 2006 (CST)

Rainith, any White--Rainith 03:58, 1 March 2006 (CST) Mantle can drop the tunic, why do you say it is dropped by the Ritualists only? --Karlos 21:46, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * What are you talking about Karlos? What links here. Most White Mantle drop things like Zealot's Armor, Abbot's Robes, etc...  --Rainith 21:49, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * Also I just changed it to state that the necromancers dropped it not the mesmers which was Life Infusion's origial issue. --Rainith 21:50, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * What I am talking about is that ANY salvage armor that is worn by a unit of a roup, like the Ritualist's Tunic worn by the White Mantle Ritualist of the White Mantle, can drop from ANY White Mantle unit. Try it yourself. Go farm the White Mantle in, say, Riverside Province and observe who drops what. You see Scout armor dropping from Svants, Savant Robes dropping from Knights and Knight's Armor dropping from Abbots. In fact, I have not seen that the creature is "more likely" to drop the armor that it's wearing. Rather that ir will drop any armor its species wears. Maybe that final proposition requires more data, but I am certain that the armor type and profession of creature are not aligned at this moment.
 * Therefore, when we say it is dropped by the White Mantle Ritualists, we are misleading readers. --Karlos 21:57, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * I have never seen that in all my research on the salvage items. I'd like screenshots personally.  --Rainith 22:17, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * The Ritualists being Mesmers was a mistake on my part. I must have had Sycophant on the brain.
 * I do not think I have ever seen a class-specific salvage drops, such as Knight's Armor, dropping from priests, abbots, or anything other than a Knight. All the classes do have specific drops however. --Gares Redstorm 03:20, 1 March 2006 (CST)
 * The most I have seen is same profession stuff drops, like the White Mantle Zealot has 3 different drops: Knight's Armor, Justiciar's Armor and Zealot's Armor, but those are all warrior type armor. Never seen a monk class white mantle drop any of those.  --Rainith 03:58, 1 March 2006 (CST)

Here you go:





In the first case, the Herder dropped Dwarven Armor (work by the Carvers), and before you say "well they are all warriors," In the second, the Jade Bow drops Mursaat Garments, which is the outfit of Eles, Mesmers, Monks and Necros, not the Jade Armors and Bows. Is this proof enough? --Karlos 21:37, 3 March 2006 (CST)

Factions issue
Just putting a note here that we may need to move this page when Factions comes out if the Ritualist profession has an actual piece of armor of the same name. That armor should get top billing and this page should be moved to Ritualist's Tunic (Salvage Item) just like what was done with Knight's Armor/Knight's Armor (Salvage Item). --Rainith 03:58, 1 March 2006 (CST)
