JBoot cost
 

Why aren't jboot MQ's going down in price? I understand that people are more than welcome to camp AC to sell but it sucks that with how often that thing is sold, the price stays consistently the same. I imagine the reason is because there are so many people with SO much money that they just continually pay the price to gear their alts with jboots. Not to mention, I was told by someone that they were on their 105th MQ. I mean... god damn!!

As a Paladin, I don't have a shot in hell unless I just happen to get smacked in the face by AC in some crazy twist of fate.

Yes, when I level up, maybe I'll have more money but 7-8k is still a lot if you're just gearing up through regular channels, and a lot of money generally has to go to your character as well. Since it's a level 30ish Cyclops, mid levels could camp it but it's just impossible atm.

Anyway, sorry, maybe it's a rant. I understand he is a FTE mob which makes it slightly less brutal. Is the AC more common in OOT? Higher level mob so I don't think I can solo that guy until maybe mid 40's I figure.

tl;dr start selling jboot MQ's for cheaper, plz. ;D

I think like 1.5 years ago they changed the spawn of the one in Oasis/Ro one which made it harder to spawn. So, comes down to OOT spawn.

On live, I think the OOT one was level 40, too. Not sure if it's that way here.

Paladin gear is pretty cheap, though. You can get deepwater armor real cheap, and Baton of Faith is under 100pp now.

One time on my SK i ran directly into AC while running through south ro, someone had been camping it too

miracles can happen dawg

Definitely. Probably the only reason I'm decently geared is because Paladin stuff is generally cheap. Doesn't mean I have a lot of extra coin to spare. :p I think I've saved up to 1200pp. I quested my own Ro pieces (Boots/Greaves) etc, to save some coin.

lol, true.

ancient cyclops was immune to fire @ least in sro

Supply and demand.

4 years of kunark means lots of alts that need Jboots.

Pretty much every main on the server needs jboots and every alt. also the price has dropped used to be 8k and I am seeing people sell them for 7k.

I remember that being the case

7-8k seems more than fair to me. It's a pretty kick ass item, and for some classes it is amazing. Find a zone with lots of mobs easy for you to kill at your level, and mow through them till bags full of whatever, sell off, repeat. Given say level 25, it should only take a month give or take to save 7k.

See, this server isn't going anywhere. All that is happening is Velious is coming out but that does not change much, to be honest. Those jboots are always gonna rock, and are always gonna be there waiting. And I am guessing, so will the players. It takes a lot of pressure off. If you can chill and just farm/sell/save, you got yer jboots. Only downside is if you play w/ friends who are leveling at a certain rate but hell, you could all get together and maybe cut a 6 for the price of 5 deal or something with one of the enterprising AC campers.

If you want the boots, take the time and go for em. They make lower levels especially very nice.
