This is also good for MPs who are pairing up on the Temple skull weapons that deal fire and cold damage. Overall though, the Collar gives better all around bonuses. | ||

Comments: This weird little item drops from level 100ish Mantai in the Smuggler's den and presents an interesting choice for a Soldier.

This drops extremely randomly from Anun mobs just about anywhere. As far as bonuses go: while the treatment bonuses is very nice, the other bonuses are surpased by using the CoH Collar. | ||

Comments: This item is truly awesome for a NT just crossing into the Shadow Level range since it adds scands of health over any other item, the only problem comes in when compared to the new Smuggled boards: do you pick up the extra health or do you pick up the nano damage add. Obviously this is a personal choice, but a well prepared NT can have the best of both worlds if they have enough Intellegence and Psychic to hotswap the two items. | Comments: This item is truly awesome for a NT just crossing into the Shadow Level range since it adds scands of health over any other item, the only problem comes in when compared to the new Smuggled boards: do you pick up the extra health or do you pick up the nano damage add.

+ | Comments: The Booty is not only a cool pirate item, it is also a major buffing item for Engineers wjho specialize in Grenade weapons. While the bonuses on this item are ok, many are out classed by the advent of the Smuggled boards, but this item is still very valuable for engineers trying to get on their huge grenade weapons as early as possible. | ||

+ | Comments: An excellent neck item for Neutrals that drops in one of the craziest raid areas of the game: Pandemonium. There are a couple major benefits and problems with this item. First, is that it gives more health and nano than any other neck item, including the super spiffy top sided ones. Second, the down side is that it requires you to not only have extremely high intellegence, but also have tons of Matter Creation. This basicaly relegates the item to be used by Traders, MPs, Engineers, Crats, Doctors, and anybody else crazy enough to get their skills that high. The other problem with this item is that even though it is stated for level 175 and above, since the Pande raid area is perpetualy locked down with raid bots, there is almost no chance for a team or anything less than a giant org to get a hold of this item before level 205. No doubt though, this is a staple and the bonuses are well recieved. | ||

+ | Comments: Another fantastic board that drops in Pande but the same problems apply to it. The positives though are that the Sigil adds NCU, a good Treatment bonus and some Run Speed on top of the large health. It also adds some Armor Class but by the time most players get to Pande they have maxed out their AC into the category of 'redundant' so the AC bonus is not going to be a game breaker. Some people have problems with this item because of the high Computer Literacy required to equip it, but it is one of the major choices for end game items so it is best to start thinking about that early. | ||

Neutrals are often mistakenly assumed to have no good items to wear in the neck slot. While this is generaly true when compared to the power of higher level sided Token Boards, it some times means people assume that they have no neck items. This list is a compilation of the items that Neutrals can wear in their neck slot with some short commentary as well as locations where they are found and level ranges they should be used in before finding something new. This is not a comprehensive list of every single item though, and only covers items that characters might be expected to wear in the course of normal play. Some of these items are marked with a SL tag, which means that you must have the Shadowlands expansion to use them.
