Armor cannot be worn until level 22.
Mandalorian Armor is still be restricted to Master Bounty Hunters and Master Commandos.

Jedi are restricted from wearing armor.

Entertainers and Traders may wear armor.

All armor hindrances have been removed. There are no more penalties for wearing armor.

Please note that this makes all 3 choices of armor available for Wookiees and Ithorians (The 3 sets of Wookiee armor and 3 of Ithorian armor that is available for their species).

Armor Loot Drops

A wide variety of clothing (with protection) and armor has been added to the game for all players, including Jedi exclusive clothing.

These new armor loot drops have a wide variety of attributes and protections.

The armor protection will be proportional to the Combat Level of the creature or NPC.

PvP Enhancements : Change Duty Command

A command is now available so that anyone can declare from “Combatant” to “Special Forces” in the field. This change in duty status will take 30 seconds to complete. Changing from “Special Forces” to “Combatant” in the field will take 5 minutes.

This command is used from the toolbar. You can find the toolbar button for this ability in your command browser (Press ";" to open your ability window).

PvP Bounty Hunter System: If your character is killed in player-versus-player combat (PvP), you have the option to take out a bounty on your attacker.

If you choose to take out a bounty, you will be asked to set the amount of the bounty. The amount that you specify will be deducted from your bank account or from your cash on-hand and added to the attacker's bounty.

At the time you take out the bounty, your attacker is immediately open for Bounty Hunting.

Bounty Hunters will now be able to use the /bountyCheck command on players (as well as NPCs).

You can find a toolbar icon for the bounty check command in your command browser under the combat tab (Press ";" to open your abilities window).

Bounties placed on a player will be cumulative so if multiple bounties are placed on a player, their overall bounty will increase. The total bounty is claimed by the Bounty Hunter that kills them.

A bounty hunter has a 30 minute cool down after getting a successful check for a bounty.

For example, a Bounty Hunter can run through a city checking for player and NPC bounties. If the bounty hunter finds a target with a bounty, they won't be able to use the bounty check command for 30 minutes.
