Why The Popularity
This particular armor set is in high demand for two very good reasons. The first is that it is virtually perfect for hunting Drones. Second is that this armor set can be upgraded. There are missions you can do that will allow you to create an Adjusted set. The Adjusted set can in turn be turned into a Modified set.
These upgrades have some very helpful defense buffs which increase your Dodge. As dodge is usually the lower of a players two primary defense professions this is extremely valuable. These upgrades also help to decrease critical damage that you take while wearing the set. Anytime a set has the ability to be upgraded it’s going to be more popular than usual. When that set is almost perfect for a certain mob it’s also likely to be in high demand.
Vigilante Armor Vs Drones
Vigilante Armor + 6a Plates is the ideal armor set up for hunting Drones. If you are hunting mobs that do ranged Burn and Penetration damage then Vigilante equipped with 6a Plates is ideal in the vast majority of circumstances. This is why it’s highly recommended by most higher level players and one of the reasons the set is so sought after.
Using the upgrade missions to obtain an additional dodge buff also helps in this situation. Not all items in Entropia Universe were designed with a specific purpose in mind. In this case I really do think this set and the plates that you will want to use with it were specifically designed to help mid to high level players hunt some of the higher end drones and other types or robots you will encounter.
Rarity
This set is only available by looting individual pieces. Due to this there can be a shortage in the market because the mobs that you would need to hunt to loot this armor are not the more popular mobs people like to hunt. In addition there has been a lack of recent drop reports. This leads us to conclude that it has likely been a while since this set has been looted. It could be that there have been drops that were not reported. This is probably the more likely case but the drops that have happened have likely been relatively few.
In addition since the set is popular people try and form complete sets. This can be frustrating. Especially when it comes to the foot guards. When completing a set the foot guards can be especially hard to find and will often trade at a slight premium.
