There are a few awesome lowbie shade pieces I've been able to pick up from the bazaar though. Mostly in the 50s-70s range. They cost peanuts, and have relatively great base stats for the price I paid for them.
Now if only I can IW more consistently (IMG:[

Interesting to know. I've only ever bought 1 piece of shade from the bazaar, and it wasn't that great for the comparative price to others stuff I've bought, but it was usable and served me well. I find fantastic phase and shield/power for much less all the time.
For a lvl 50 guy though, and lvls less than 100 in general, you should be able to find plenty of shade in the WTS for say 1500c to 5000c that fit the needs; you'll never get that price from bazaar. Even the shittiest fair shade drops i've gotten sold to the bazaar for 1500c, and that would be for 15,000c if bought from bazaar.

Would those just happen to be mine if you visited them recently? I just sold all of my unneeded equipment (since etothex was nice enough to remind me of the WTS forum (IMG:[

You are aware you can wear much higher level gear w/o ramifications right? You need not concern yourself w/ level too much for shade, since its burdenless. Considering your level, just look at stats and price. Until you're ready to start forging pieces, longevity is also not an issue.
