along with the Farmer's Gloves that drop randomly around the Prydwen Keep area, are the area-specific rare armor that drops off of the low level creatures in the new player hunting grounds. To my knowledge, the game tries to let every character get one of these poor, but still better than what's available for their level, armor pieces.
It is also good to see that new players take a role into the database building, also, instead of all "Uber 1337 players" who are simply Caffeine machines who have nothing better to do ;)
