New armor designs from Cantha have begun to influence armor crafters in Tyria. Existing armor sets will not be updated yet, but a means to upgrade existing level-20 armor for free will be provided in the near future.
This is from guildwars.com this is great news for anyone that has armor that was lower than the ones in Cantha. Now they will be even. Ex. Dragon armor: now provides 90 base armor +10 armor vs. physical damage.
Platemail armor: same as Dragon.
This is great but what about FOW armor? No mention of that yet. I have 15K plate with a FOW helm. I hope they will update it soon to 90 and +10 for phy. One more thing they upgraded, they upgraded sundering hafts to 20/20 up from 10/10. Now does anyone know if they seen anyone selling these yet? I need one for my hammer
Upgraded Sundering weapon components to provide a maximum Armor Penetration of +20% (Chance: 20%).

6 weeks and still my armor is the old stats...wonder why this is taking so long. It would be nice if my 15k dragon's armor was equal to the chap 2 stats...

(This change does not affect armor crafted prior to this update.) i'm guessing they mean the same thing when it comes to armor stat changes.

also, i've never seen that quote from the OP before. i can't find it on the site, either. can someone give me a link?
