Explorer's Tabard (Why?)

[Mister-Wonderful]

Tortoiseshell Scale Mail :: Dex : +6, Attack Power : +8 (HQ:9), Pty : +7
Cobalt Haubergeon :: Str : +6, Attack Power : +6, Accuracy : +6 (HQ:7)

So 3 beneficial stats on hauby and 2 on tortoise, 1 of which (piety) you'll more than likely meld to cap on this body anyway.
