Rubicite full sets.

[Plowyabeastlord]

Out of curiosity who all has one?

I know myself (fleamarkit) has a full visible set.

-dorfheads
-setpreme (3 full sets+non visible)

[Ravager]

I've got a full visible set with 2 bracers.

[eezl]

Woolyspider has 2 sets, I have collected 4/7 of the vis pieces (missing gaunts, bracer, arms)

[Abominog]

Rubicite isn't as valued on P99 as it was on live in the classic era.

I still want to get it though. If green is a timeline server and I play it, my objective will be to get a suit of rubicite, or at least the breastplate.

[Jenithia]

I have the pants. When I feel festive I wear them with a thorny vine BP and pretend its Christmas in Norrath.

Why was it removed? Doesn't seem like anything spectacular outside of BP which I would hardly call OP.

I am also interested. +3 hp regen per tick? Doesn't even compate to Fungi. Was it the sheer amount of them dropping and everyone had one? Or am I just missing the obvious

[mcoy]

If I recall correctly it was due to the sheer amount of issues from players fighting over it in CT. At least, that's what I heard that one time.

The BP back in classic was deemed overpowered. Think full banded armor and 3hp regen on an item

And then they would go on to release the Fungi tunic... Yeah Good thinking Brad

Remember that it also predated, and was replaced by, class specific armor quests.and temple of Ro quests. So what was good armor for many classes was all in one zone. Maybe it was always intended to be temporary like how jboots dropped in najena.

Again, on classic it seemed to have been much more coveted after it was removed vs p99. Lot of hype about guide and magazines on green but haven't seen anyone even mention rubicite yet.

Yeah basically, it gave Rogues, Bards, Shamans, Paladins, Warriors, Rangers, all of them, the same max AC by gear.

It was replaced with class armor with higher and lower AC distributions for the various types of melee classes.

Same deal with Lustrous Russet armors.

Edit: RE why it wasn't so coveted here, the stats provided by this only slightly magically imbued armor were left in the dust when Kunark came out.

Take the rogue class armor for example.

[Swish2]

Y'all can have your guises, I'm getting some rubicite.

[Jibartik]

Full red plate dark elf shaman that is all.

This is why I remember it being removed. CT was an absolute shit show back in the day.

[beversami]

I have 2 full visible sets + 1 bp.

[Neno]

Rubi was never popular here because we couldn't actually get it at appropriate levels. CT was beyond buggy on blue to the point that barely anyone did it. The people who went into CT to get rubi generally were bored level 50s. IIRC the pathing wasn't fixed until after rubi was already removed. So it was basically just armor you would pick up for your twinks.

If any of you want to sell some of that rubicite Tell bankchan. I also have a pair of greaves I would trade for other parts! Need arms helm gaunts bracer

[Supreme]

Arms are by far the most rare piece of rubicite. I have paid 20-30k for them and not objected.

I traded one full suit of Rubicite for Rubicite Pauldrons about 3 years ago. Occasionally I see them for sale for 150k (as a complete 7 piece suit). Recently I sold one of two Rubicite Belts to Frienda.

The Rubicite Collar and Mask are both on banned accounts and will forever be lost on p99. Which is unfortunate because i had hoped to complete the full rubicite set.

Maybe it will show up on a GM event.

[Izmael]

Got a full visible set. Not sure I'll try too hard for the other pieces.

[icando5pushups]

Still be willing to buy arms bracer gaunts!! But thanks for the info supreme!
