Barding: Where to get it?

[Anarch]

Am I missing something or is it very rare drop-only gear?

[JustSmile]

I think I found the first one somewhere in the camp in act 2.

I think I found my first set in the Grey Garrison and then shortly after another set near the start of Act 2.

Yeah they are pretty rare I believe the first one you find is in Act 1 somewhere near a cart if i remember and some can be bought from merchants too

I've had barding appear in chests
There is one hard to spot chest with 2 barding in your camp in chapter 2, where the horses are stabled.

Act 1 very rare, you can get it by doing a puzzle (light barding).
Act 2, less rare, mostly light/med
Act 3 I think first heavy appears, still somewhat rare.

The first suit you can get is behind the statue puzzle in the Grey Garrison. And its magical. Also two rooms away from there you'll find some mount only 'gloves' (Heavy Paws)

After the garrison you can find two suits of barding in a box in the commander camp. You'll need a decent perception to spot the box, but its near where the other horses are parked.

Thanks for the tips, all. I would've thought at least basic forms of barding would be purchasable. /shrug

I've found 3 peices and believe I'm now in Act 3. Of course I don't have a mount in my party.

I'm sure when I go to use a mount in a different playthrough I won't find any.

The pets can still get the benefits from them even if not used as a mount too
