I'd get the CoS before jboots. It is significantly cheaper, makes charming much smoother, and will save your ass when you need to FD. A lot of good necro camps are in dungeons where JBoots don't work anyways.

Honestly I think JBoots are way overpriced, and I'd only recommend buying the MQ on those if I had a lot of pp to spare. I'd buy a CoS then go camp the AC yourself when you get into your 40s, especially as player without a level 25 character. SoW pots can get you by until then.

So to put it another way, JBoots run approximately 7k pp. For the same price, you can get 700 casts of SoW from potions. You aren't going to need to use anywhere close to 700 casts of SoW to get you to a level where you can just camp the AC yourself.

I would check out the Halfling guards in Misty Thicket also starting around 29. Bind near the Enchanter pet merchant in HHK. Loot spears only until you can't move, gate back to merchant and sell them all. Can also FD bank in HHK, which is nice.

Whoops, meant to include the math for SoW potions vs Jboots. Did it several years ago but can't find it now.

SoW pots=100p/10dose, 36min duration
7000p for Jboots=70 SoW potions, 700 charges of SoW
700 charges at 36mins each=25200 minutes of being SoW'd
25200 minutes= 420 hours of being SoW'd, or 17.5 days

How long will it take you to clock in 17.5 days /played? For most people this is probably several months of 4-5 hour sessions here or there (4 hours*4 days a week=16 hours/week, 16 h/w*4 weeks=64 hours/month, 420 hours/64 h/m=6.5 months worth of SoW).

Jboots give you a lot more utility than just running faster, so I'd say the investment is always worth it.. however, when you're on a budget, don't feel like SoW potions are a waste of time/money. They're very economical. And half the time you can just bug a nearby druid/shaman for a SoW anyways.

Its funny because there are probably hundreds of them stored on alts just to get around the Lore tag. CoS was one of the original clustercuss camps with everyone panicked over it being removed... Same with the ornate velium pendant, I know people who have 3 accounts with 8 characters each holding on to one.

Just hold out, there's no reason to pay more than 2.5-3k for a CoS.

Would love to see one of those CoS's for cheap if you know anyone.

There's a ton on the server on mules, people are just trying to over charge for the pre nerd one. Just wait until price goes down.
