Yeah, I decided over the last 6-9 months that I was getting very bored with the game as it stands. So I haven't been on much. About a week ago I got to thinking - why have an item that is so good just sit and rot? I kicked around the idea of giving it to 1 person but that doesn't seem fair. So after I sell it I'm going to give away 90% of the plat. Remember my 250 person trivia event a couple years ago? Like that, but on a much bigger scale. I'll bank the remainder on the off chance I come back for velious.
I get the principle you're trying to go for with the Leatherfoot cap and true, if they were limited in number the price would be way higher. But you're neglecting the fact that it is useful in a very small number of situations. The staff is much more useful in the majority of situations. I've leveled countless alts to 30 plus, very fast, with merely a fungi tunic and self regrowth.
Also, have you ever seen what a necro (or properly geared iksar monk) can do with the additional self regrowth? Its downright disturbing. That is why the staff was nerfed so fast in the first place. With an 1100 ac plus iksar monk and triple self regen you can solo ALOT. I still think Flippie (back when I had him for a couple years) is the only pure melee on your solo artist challenge list to do stuff solo.
Anyway, the staff can and is a game dynamic changing item in the right hands. Maybe I'll get an offer, maybe not. We'll see.
