Don't use the Auction House

As stated several times, there is absolutely no need to buy a cloak for 20 gold. Those few stat point don't make a good player. I have several alts and none of them has a cloak. Helm + shoulder don't cost very much on the ah.
Some are high available and some are rarer, because not every item for every class has the same drop chance.

Cloak = 6 Str = (6/5) * 1.5 additional points of ability damage for melee strikes = 1.8 damage. They're **** from a statistical point of view and a perfect example of how scarcity dramatically increases price even for worthless cosmetics.

As for a helmet, there's a mob in the Dwarf/Orc RvR which drops blue ones, but there's almost always someone farming it. I don't know where to get shoulders either, probably random drop.

you didn't realized the irony in my one sentence

of course you can't buy them but my pre poster said something about "buy items from vendor, there are enough" which i think it's not enough to just have vendor items. only with helmet shoulders and cloak you got the maximun dmg/heal putout.
