Not sure why so many are "debating" grey suede boots, almost every haste item has a place on the firsts thread already and would be strange not to include that one.
You're absolutely right. All haste items have been traditionally included in this post, partially because they were at one time the best single items any player could obtain, and partially to stave off arguments I was getting from people. In any case, I want to continue the tradition, and your use of the word "almost" kind of bugs me. What haste items are missing?

looking at the Server First list, it's hard to say what should and shouldn't (excluding VP trash drops).
Again with the gem-inlaid gauntlets, right? :P
I got those fuckers before anyone could port. It was an achievement!! I swear it was!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seriously - Any items can be added here for many reasons. Most prominent on the list of reasons is rarity, but difficulty to obtain an item and also how it affects the class (best in slot, or highly coveted status).. For instance, Weight of the Gods is neither rare nor difficult to obtain (assuming you're in PoS killing stuff), but I bet most that have dropped are still being worn?

Looking at the past, some random items are up there that definitely got replaced. I think when looking to see what should be added for VP, go with what is most sought after for the time period (VP pre-epics).

definitely add
Robe > Crown > Cloak

Next inline
Dragonborn hammer > Grey Suede > earring

Possibles
Trorsmang > RSSS > Shissar Apothic Staff (whatever it is that gets removed) > best tankerton sword.

I think if one item from a category gets added then the others should be as well.

Everyone can agree on:

Robe of the Azure Sky
Shroud of Veeshan
Hammer of the Dragonborn

My short list beyond those 3:

Crown of Rile
Grey Suede Boots
Shissar Apothic Staff
Bo Staff of Trorsmang
Razor Sharp Short Sword
Robe of Invocation

grey suede boots are the best haste item that drops and isn't a sky quest, they should definately be included.

Robe of the Azure Sky
Shroud of Veeshan
Hammer of the Dragonborn

My short list beyond those 3:

Crown of Rile
Grey Suede Boots
Shissar Apothic Staff
Bo Staff of Trorsmang
Razor Sharp Short Sword
Robe of Invocation
Blood Orchid Katana
Thanks guys, I'll develop a consensus based short list in the next week or so.
