Thanks all. It is a clever idea, but surely the armour stat(which is 16, the level is 70 however) should increase. When I compare the item(which I didn't do before posting this) to the boots I was wearing the armour increase was 127 or something, even though the boots look like they only had 16 armour? Well now I know the boots are better I'm happy, and I really appreciate not getting flamed! Thanks again. Gaige

Hi all, I'm level 27 and have bought some level 27 boots off the Light Side vendor. The armour stat is 16 and it doesn't change with the 3 level 27 mods I've added? I'm a bit weary about wearing them, am I missing something obvious? Bioware have certainly made this confusing for newbies like me, if it isn't a bug. Really appreciate a easy to understand explanation. Thanks Gaige
