jboots MQ = a waste of money?

Honestly as a melee without gate, if your net worth is 6,001 pp and a MQ costs 6,000 PP, i'd snap them up in a second. Why spend $1k on sow potions when you're inevitably going to buy them anyway? Now you've spent $7k on being faster with the same result.

Kind of irrelevant though, right? Do any sub 45 mains legitimately have thousands of plat?

My highest character is 35 and my net worth is 17k =)

Part of my personal reasoning is I will eventually spend time on Seafury island, so I expect to camp AC in the course of leveling...

I had about 1k in the bank until around level 48. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Jboot = instant. Having an instant click sow is always nice. It is only 8% or around there slower than sow so you will not really notice. Also another advantage of haveing them is put your jboots buff up last so if you fight a mob / person that diapells they get your instant cast jboots buff that u can put back up and not your cleric buff or clerity lol. Just my two cents. Do what u want thougth. I think they are worth it. Now don't get me wrong even with jboots I always like to get my sow lol.

Sow potions are most definitely a legitimate alternative. You will only ever use them if you are outdoors and traveling alone. When you are in a group (as melee usually are) chances are you have access to sow in your group.

Of course anyone who has spent 8+ hours camping AC or their entire savings on a pair of J-boots is going to poo-poo on your logic but your logic is sound.

I don't recall the last time a melee was expected to junk buff themselves on a raid, and against Naggy and Vox you can't use j-boots anyway. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We still love ya Dantes... But ya. Boots. Pots are a nice novelty item. Gate pots really should be your push.

Sow potions taste like wolf piss.

I think this should be your new motto.

Buy JBoots MQ. Because SoW potions taste like wolf piss (TM)

Bullshit. I had jboots on live and they never did anything except for grant me MEDIOCRE run speed that barely outran anything. After Kunark release, it was even worse. The fucking things were practically useless.

*downs a sow potion*

IT GIVES YOU WINGS!

Now if only they made Deadman Floating Potions, I'd be all over that.

Interesting point... are j-boots faster on this server than they should be?

I always thought it was a set run speed percentage (35% I think). If the run speed is scaling like SoW then it's not working the way it should.

Blood of the Wolf potions work like this:
Increase Movement by 34% (L9) to 55% (L50)

In other words, SoW potions are up to 20% faster than J-boots... or at least they should be.
