One more thing... Fabled costs the most to repair. And repair bills scale down from there.

It was 2 tanks who were doing this. I haven't had a chance to log into the game and check on my own toon. I don't remember what the level requirements are for those items.

I don't see how the level of the mob could have made a difference because we weren't fighting anything. They were putting on armor and holding their mouse over the mitigation number.

Because it compares armor level to a mob equal to your level. Chances are, your two testers were level 70. Level 70 armor is equal to a level 70 mobs so the numbers you see are true. Level 67-68 armor is less than equal to a level 70 mobs so the the numbers you see on its mitigation are false compared to a higher level mob.

This is why tanks wearing "uber" Courts raid drops to tank T7 content are not smart. They don't know how armor works, they just look at stats.
