Studded Hopperhide Tunic

The Studded Hopperhide Tunic is a NO DROP percussion instrument that provides AC 9, making it an unusual hybrid item that combines armor stats with an instrument classification—a quirk of early EverQuest's item database that limits its usefulness for both warriors seeking actual armor and bards seeking functional percussion weapons. This curiosity piece is primarily encountered by collectors and completionists rather than seeing practical use, as players could equip actual tunic armor or proper percussion instruments that served their class needs far more effectively.
