Tier 1 Skirmisher Armors

[Kriegstofu]

Both Craftable and Marketplace armors of Skirmisher seem to be worse in both weight/stats than Recruit Quest Set, thus discouraging new players from even crafting those T1 armors

What do I mean?

Swadian Recruit Vest  Weight: 4, Armor 25/10
Marketplace Militia       Weight: 5, Armor 20/10
Level 2 Armorsmith    Weight: 5, Armor 25/12 (Eastern Robe Blue/Brown/Green)
Level 3 Armorsmith    Weight: 5, Armor 25/12 (Skirmisher Gambeson) - More Mats but same stats as Eastern Robes

Not really a motivation to craft these Armors, is it?

Making them more protective is not the role for a Skirmisher to take, so i suggest lowering Weight of the mentioned armors.

Marketplace reduce weight to 3
Eastern Robe reduce weight to 2
Skirmishers Gambeson reduce weight to 1

I plan to do a full cleaning and rework of personal crafting, as there are a ton of items that I'm not even sure a single person owns. Personal crafting has too much stuff spread very thin, and I'll work towards fixing that after a few notable changes come out. Until then, I'll make a spreadsheet and put that project on standby until the time is right. The Eastern Robe and the Skirmisher Gambeson will be a part of this rework.

As for the marketplace stuff, it's strange that the Swadian Recruit set is that good. Originally I intended for it to be on par with early gear as to encourage people to play quests. I'll lightly nerf it and lightly buff the marketplace armours for skirmisher. Thanks.

I once have crafted a light highlander armor (i think this was in 2013) but it never went into use and the recipe was only available for like a day or so.

will these items still be a collectible (and tradeable) then?

I am unsure on where specific items will go after changes, but I suspect that most affected items will be locked to classes, and ones that are removed will turn into cosmetic items or otherwise unused items.
I don't have any idea what will happen to Light Highlander Armour, but I don't think it will be affected by this change.
