Dippy, what happened to your armour? Did you lose it or was it destroyed? If the latter is the cause => try repairing it at the BF traders. If you lost it - do you recall where?
Not sure if this will work => could you kill an attacking guard in lvl 10 and try to wear their armour? So, you won't get attacked in lvl 9? Try luring one of the soldiers at the cook away, one by one and hoping to get an armour.
As for Marzy's tip => it's very good - just use enter/re-enter BF as often as you can - you simply need to be near the traders and then look into their inventory, until they finally have one.
Edit @Marzy - no need to be sorry, I should have checked if you're online and were repeating to this thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
