When using the "Conjure Implement" focus power, under the Conjuration school, can an Occultist immediately wear the armor they conjure without the need to take minutes donning it normally?
Why I ask:
The game I'm planning to join is using Automatic Bonus Progression, eliminating the need for magic armor or weapons with enchantment bonuses, so a plain masterwork set of armor is more than adequate. Thus, Conjure Implement would be effectively giving my character some of the best possible equipment they can use, with other focus powers allowing them to imbue it with any additional abilities (Flaming weapons, Fortified armor, etc.).
If Conjure Implement can be used to immediately don a full set of heavy, full-plate armor, this will eliminate the need for wobbling around in a mobility-hindering, sleep-obstructing heavy metal suit that requires other people to don properly.
I'm not even sure that a Battle Host can use Conjure Implement since their Panoply Bond is the only Implement that they are allowed to have.

Interesting choice. Since they can presumably they could summon a weapon into their hand, I would venture so, but remember, it only lasts 1 min. Also, Gisher is right, doesn't work with a battle host, as the only 'implement' they have is their one item. Better just get a scroll of don armor (or whatever it's called, the spell that lets you instantly don armor) and call it a day.
Well, set aside the Battle Host portion of the question; Say that it was a regular Occultist instead that happened to choose a weapon and armor as their implements at first level. It lasts for 10 minutes per level, which is more than enough for most encounters, or even game sessions. Would they be able to summon armor directly onto themselves?
As for whether a Battle Host can use Conjure Implement, maybe I'll make a separate thread for it. It would be thematically neat if a Battle Host were able to conjure armor, weapons, or shields, since the majority of their skillset deal with those. Though you're right, it's likely they'd only be able to conjure up a second version of their bonded item.

Conjure Implement doesn't say anywhere about how/where the item is conjured. That leaves it up to the GM.
Some might say you are automatically wearing/wielding any implement that can be worn/wielded. Some might say that the implement just drops into your hands or on the ground in front of you.

Yet another grey area for GM fiat.

I agree. I don't see any text suggesting it works one way or another.
