19.4.4.9 TINK MCFIERCE WARES

Tink McFierce sells a variety of artifacts and can be found in the gnome aethership, the Starhopper, accessible via the glowing portal in the Aetherplex upon Avechna's Peak.

AETHERSUITS
===========
Aethersuits are the latest in gnome engineering available from one Tink McFierce aboard the Star Hopper aethership. These resplendent aethersuits come in a variety of shapes and serve as armour. The basic suit has two enhancement slots (which are enhanced by smiths). It cannot have artifact armour runes attached to it. Instead all aethersuits can be upgraded with modules that are built right into the suit.
NOTE: You can NOT use masterarmour runes on aethersuits.

AETHERGEARS
===========
For those who prefer to keep their normal armour but are still interested in many of the upgrades to aethersuits, the gnomes have devised gears (also known as aethergears) that mimic the above listed abilities of aethersuits that can be attached to armour. They are slightly more expensive than activating the powers but you do not need an aethersuit and they do not have prerequisites.
