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.

SoltoyZ Intimate Helper
Level: 40-100
Location: Fixer Shop
Comments: This item is only found in the fabled Fixer Shop and is extremely expensive to boot for the meager bonuses it gives. If you were going to skip any sort of neck item, this would be the one to skip. The upside though, is that it gives similar bonuses to the lower level token boards.

All-Match Augmented Bow Tie
Level: 20-100
Location: Foreman's
Comments: The bowtie is normaly considered to be a tradeskiller's neck item, and for good reason: it primarily adds points to many tradeskills. This hides the true value of the bowtie because it also adds to Health and Nano Pool to a much higher degree than the Intimate Helper, unfortunately it requires a lot of Psychology skill to use which makes it only really appealing to Engineers, Traders, Beurucrats, Soldiers, and Enforcers who need those skills anyway. This item is made through a tradeskill process and comes is varying QLs, which also effect the requirements to wear and the bonuses it gives.

Collar of Amplification
Level: 80-120
Location: Foreman's
Comments: This collar was introduced with the Biomare upgrades and is sometimes thought of as a lower level version of the Cyborg board because it adds treatment. This primary uses for this item is to boost nanoskills, NCU, and treatment, but this is not so awesome unless you really need nano skills in one area or do not have the CoH collar which adds to more combat oriented areas. This item is procured through a long quest series for a sided benefactor and the collar can be right clicked to change the nano skill it boosts.

Collar Casero de la Cripta
Level: 50-200
Location: Crypt of Home
Comments: This is one of the solid gold items of the Neutral neck item progression and for many character will take them up to level 200. This item is an extremely common drop from the Crypt of Home, so much so that you can go there and kill mobs right in the first rooms without enter the crypt proper and find one. The vast array of bonuses make this item extremely valuable not only the neutrals but also sided folks who need the ini or NCU. The only reason to -not- have this item is if you are too low of a level to get the buffs and implants to equip this item normaly.
