To be fair I was spending a fair amount of time on Seafury Island, but the point is if you're patient enough (and maybe settle for short lines instead of holding out for no line) it will happen.

Regarding the comparison of sow pots to jboots, perhaps from a cost perspective it would take a long time to get your money out of jboots, but the thing is there's many advantages to having an insta cast runspeed boost. IMO they are worth 6-7k. Camp it yourself, or buy the MQ. The jboots never need to be bought again, it's a nice convenience to not have to constantly buy sow pots, or make them yourself. I got a 55 shaman, can make the pots myself and on toons I really enjoy, I still buy jboots for them. Jboots can be used as a junk buff too. Regarding players selling jboots: The people doing Jboot MQs are too invested to "take you for a ride," basically if they got a guild tag and are high enough level to farm the pieces needed for jboots, they aint trying to get suspended off the game. 1. Buy from a guild tagged seller. 2. Ask to see the ring, rapier, etc., if you feel something isn't right. It's not as dire as you make it sound. If you simply can't be assed to monkey with a jboot camp, just find a way to get the plats to buy them. Many sellers are selling for 6k now too, so that's a plus! | |||

Don't bother with sow pots. Camp the gazughi ring, sell it, buy jboots. Eventually they will pay for themselves over the pots and the convenience/insta clicky/junk buff factor is way better. As far as I'm concerned, sow pots are only useful for long bits of traveling at higher levels.

I'd just use SoW pots and ignore jboots for now. I always viewed jboots as a QoL/luxury item. Saves the trouble of dealing with item charges and having to hit up EC frequently, instant click for when you need another junk buff outdoors, using it when you're only running a small distance before you can just get a SoW from a SoW class (the run from HH->ramp in OT) etc.
I don't know what level you are, but levels make plat farming exponentially easier. You can also make a lot of platinum while leveling. I don't know what class you play, but leveling by killing guards from 25->40+ should give you enough money to buy a jboots MQ or put you very close. However, I'd advise against buying a jboots MQ and putting that money toward SoW potions and high impact items like a weapon, haste item, focus effect, or clicky.

The game is very playable without jboots.

SoW pots are a work around to an overcamped item, but don't under estimate them. They're still a great item to have in your bag of tricks. | |||

If you really enjoy the character, buying jboots is worth it. They will eventually pay for themselves over the long run compared to sow pots which are a plat sink over time.
Is game playable without jboots, yes of course it is. Is it more enjoyable having a clicky runspeed boost item that can endlessly be clicked, that also provides you with a junk buff and spell refresh affect too? Yep it is. | ||

I don't see why people just don't click their SoW Katana. Yeah, yeah it has a cast time, but it's way faster and lasts longer.
