Missing items?

Hi.

I was wanting to buy or craft hempen robes, cowls, or even halfrobes for my caster classes. But they're gone! Do those items no longer exist? Why?

Gear was dramatically altered as part of the recipe simplification so those items are now 'Dated'. They technically can still be made, but are much harder to make since they use the original, complex recipes.

Check out the new weaver recipes and look for mage gear among those on Mooglebox.

Thanks for the information, and the helpful link.
