where?? i want one :)

TLR dungeon. On bodyguards.

What is TLR?

Forman's dungeon also called TLR - It's located on your world map when you zoom in, up by "_T_he _L_ongest _R_oad"

Actually, the real name of the dungeon is Biomare, but it's also called Foreman's, and it's located in the zone The Longest Road

The stats are rather crappy even compared to a GTA, but it rocks nonetheless as it can be kept in the inv and still be used to benefit from the absorb by a mere right click. Enjoy! :)

Does anyone know the dro rate of this one?

I killed about 26 Bodyguards and got it. The drop rate is around 3-7 % I think.

I've heard there's a doctor version of this, but is there a soldier version too?

No.

Are the bodyguards only at the Lab Director's office?

no theyre in the two big circular rooms before him, and also in some passages leading to it

Anyone knows where/if this thing drops outside of biomere too?

Also drops from Rik Rik in Biomare--in the hall between the two round rooms below the Lab Director, on the way to TIM. However, if going after the Lab Director, I believe there's a pretty good drop rate from his bodyguards too (I've seen it drop twice in two kills--but maybe just lucky).

Somewhat crappy AC, but outstanding 2000point absorb ("Assault Screen"). If you don't wear it, at least USE it!

BTW good guide to Biomare on AO Froobs: http://www.aofroobs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7

LIFE SAVER!!!! Id be dead without it so many times now =)
PW borging, doc dead, your dragging the gang of borgs away from team, hit this, rage and mongo, very high percent chance of living. Beware of the duration on the shield though, its not until its hacked through, its time that kills you. Plus takes awhile to recharge.

exactly what skill does it lock?

Skill locked on use: Duck-Exp

Anyone seen this drop lately on bodyguards? Haven't seen a single drop since the revamp.

Wait.. you can hack it?

no u cant Jedii

Where does it drop now? I heard it's dropped on one of the high-level outside uniques like Diamondine Soldier/Trainee, Fiery Soldier, or something. I forgot which.

some ppl say that it drops from OE (obidience enforcer or something) in EFP... but i cant personaly confirm it... ive onnly heard rumors, i need it also on my enf....

if any1 gets one from OE please post here....

Jedii.. If you got confused by PeteFox' comment, he meant hacked through the absorb this item gives if you right-click it. That means that you stand in front of a mob, hit the tank for the absorb, and wait until the mobs hits on your hp bar again instead of against your absorb shield. A mob "hacks" through the absorb once it starts hitting again while this is up.

Seems odd seeing a clanner running around OA in this

In about 20 kills, i've seen this drop 3 times. Not really that rare. The first was on my second mob. I guess it all depends on how lucky you are.

I have it on first kill. Just time for loot it before the second bodyguard kill my enfo 58 :)

What level are the body guards? Could a non twink level 60 enfo take one?

I got one the other night, Can this be Overtuned?

if non twink then no... twink could take him...

they are hard ><

ok... not that realy.. :P

armor drop 100% from nasty RikRak... almost imposible to solo him...... idk prolly can resist these defenders but i tried with GAIV fixer... RikRak dont hitting you .... just i cant hit him ><

Seems like FC nerfed droprate off bodyguards or smth... I killed over 100 of em and still no drop

I don't think it is nerferd. Out with friend to get one last night dropped one after maybe 30. Circle room guard.

I got mine after about 40 kills and after that it dropped all the time.

exarch robe is better right?

Exarch would be a better backpiece. This item is useful to have in your inventory for its special.

Especially with an agent using that dmg type changer. he'd be no chance

This also drops from Ljotur the Lunatic at Drill Island in Deep Artery Valley

Is that a confirmed drop Jihla?

I've gotten it a few times, so indeed it is!

can confirm the drop from Ljotur the Lunatic

(06:02) [Neutnet3]: [Nodrop] FFA Assault-class Tank Armor @ Remains of Ljotur the Lunatic, Pos: 1087.9, 723.1 Deep Artery Valley. No warp, not holding loot - come get ur 2k absorb you forgot to pickup in foremans [Rawte]

When you right click this you get 2000 absorb, which is VERY nice for a lvl 41!
The absorb don't last any long, so mobs won't even hit that much at that little time either, but Im lvl 200 and are still using it in duels etc, a very nice item!
