First, this is not a web-bbs. Dont change the subject or you fuck up
the thread.
Second, The armor is pretty damn spiffy if you ask me, I'm going to
get a full set for my cleric, I dont care about the stats, the LOOK is
cool.... Nothin like a high elf in light gold armor =)

Clerics have to camp the same bear for our shield, but at least the
rest of your armour (bar the grizzleknot breastplate) isn't too hard
to get, 90% of our quests are either spectacularly tedious (kithicor
stump watch '99) or spectacularly rare mob (someone APPARENTLY saw
Zahal the Vile ONCE) or camped to hell by other classes (Bilge in
Dagnor's Cauldron not only drops the cleric armour icon - for a
spectacularly worthless breastplate - but also drops a +5 wis belt AND
a +18 wis totem, good god, what were the thinking ? oh wait they
weren't that's right)

This is the worst kind of camping - waiting around for hours on end
for something to show up.

If you want the bracers you have to wait around for Zahal the Vile to
turn up as sooner or later he gets killed by the fangbreakers (great,
an 8 hour spawn with a life expectancy of 10 minutes), I can only
assume similar problems exist with other cleric quest mobs - Bilge in
particular, who is constantly being killed by the shamans and druids
for his +wis gear (note, the actual cleric item obtained from the
bilge quest, is a +8 sta chestplate - really useful).
