There are some peices that could be argued for even at 50. Yes the defensive stats are pitiful that far along but the +acc +attack +m.acc are pretty darned potent. If im not actively tanking or in serious danger of taking collateral damage, darn Skippy i would be rocking my darkshell mail. and heck the night hawk visor is serious competition for the skull eye patch and even the silver tri-corn.

though to be honest, as a player who grows his pile of gil via crafting and gathering. the only thing that worries me in the slightest is the "Consolation prizes" that come from them. the poor Goldsmiths are going to get there profit margins wrecked.
