Of course, it depends a lot on what APL your character will be playing, so including that info would be helpful. There is, however, an alternative.. dragoncraft armor. And I've seen such a breastplate, though not in the most recent mod. *cough*

awroe 04-12-06, 01:51 PM	I've played a core module this year that gave access to "a mithril shield or suit of armour".
solbergb 04-12-06, 02:35 PM	When looking for special materials like mithril, look in blurbs for stuff that occurs in mountains, mines, around dwarves or around elves. At least that's my experience. Elves are more likely to just give access to specific armor, rather than "any item". Mines are more likely to give "any item" type access. It isn't a sure thing though, and not having a blurb like that doesn't mean it can't happen. My archer got adamantine access by finding some weird metal in a lab and eventually trading it to a merchant...
