I heard something about an armour set called "Honour Armour" or something. Specifically designed for paladins. That's all I know. Anyone able to shed some light on this please?

I must admit ever since Age of Shadows (where I really lost touch with UO till recently) I never bothered to catch up with all the items and how they work. Anyone able to give a basic run down of how items are in the game now? I hear things about Artifcats and minor artifacts? I take it these are the equivalent of "magic" items from the old item system?

Armor Sets have some pieces that are available from "normal" named ML monsters, and some pieces that are considered "rare" and are available only from the Peerless monsters, or from the boss monsters in the dungeon Doom.
