Traveler's Boots vs J-Boots
 

So, that gnome in Sol A is selling Traveler's Boots:

The effect appears to be the same as j-boots (+35% run speed). 5k is around the retail price if I recall correctly, so much cheaper than j-boots MQ (average of 7k).

The only difference I see is a 1.5 second cast instead of insta cast.

Any reason NOT to buy these instead of j-boots? Only reason I can think of is j-boots gives you a nice junk buff (due to insta cast) during certain encounters in outdoor zones or when fighting dispellers outside.

Anything I'm missing? I haven't gotten my j-boots yet, so would rather buy the 1.5 sec casting ones if there is no serious drawback.

instacast clickies also instantly refresh your spell bar (instead of having to wait 1.5 seconds or whatever between casts).

wha...what the @#$%!!! This would have been stellar to know prior to many gaming sessions at AC for my necromancer. Fairly certain these are not in game? Or maybe they released with Velious?

Buying J boots is for the weak, camp your own ring and J boots are nearly free (minus the RNG of the turn in that can make you want to /wrists, cant put a price on sanity)

I dont think people are aware they existed. I wasnt, good shit though. Ty

Traveler's boots are no drop which rules them out for half of the people on the server without heavy faction work...

Traveler's boots are about 5k too, i would rather pay 1 - 2k more and get jboots.

these are in game, have considered trading in a tinker bag for some.

very cool THank you!

They are definitely in game, have seen them when buying my latest Tink Bag.

I am not a caster, so refreshing spell bar I don't care for, and I'm not quadding or anything where I need my sow up always.

I'm also not wanting to deal with drama of camping a ring, so if I'm going to buy... no reason NOT to get these?

Maybe can see it as a service of removing plat from the server. There, I feel better about myself.

For 1-2k more you can get an item which you will basically never regret having. Otherwise, you should probably just use SoW pots.
