It doesn’t look like beginner gear to me. “Master” even said that it had a whole lot of resistances imbued in it. I saw Wyvern boots, mithril earring, etc. those aren’t typical beginner items. Also, the size auto adjusts to the person, so great for people to grow up with, like her. Like others have said, the economy does seem slightly bloated, but it does seem to be pretty special armor.
