Why is JBoots MQ so expensive?
Just as the title states. I'm reading up the quest requirement on the wiki and it seems like you just need to catch an ancient cyclops spawn and make sure you tag it first. Is the mob incredibly rare and therefore warrants the 5Kpp price tag?
Thanks!

There's only one reliable camp and one RNG spawn that is usually won by druid, bard, or Ranger. That drove price up.
Platinum is also easy to come by at end game economy. Many ppl are happy to shell out 5k to j boots their fourth Alt. | ||

Thanks for the quick responses - that makes sense. Reading the quest requirements and weighing that against 5kpp as a new player drove this question. I'll give the camp a shot when I get to that level. Cheers.

I've seen people spend 7 hours on the spawn with no ring, and I've sat at it with 2 cycles and get 2 rings (one for me, and one for the next person in line).
The camp can be nice to you or horrific, plus you should be equipped to kill the PHs fast so you can get the maximum amount of changes on the ring. Good luck!

I've never camped the AC in South Ro, but the one in OOT can be a very rare spawn. The placeholder pops every 6 min and I've spent as long as 14 hours once before Ancient Cyclops pops. I know of people who've spent 16 hours and more, sometimes giving up and never seeing the AC pop. The one advantage imo OOT has is that when it's your turn and your camp, you will get a ring if you stick it out. I've never had the problems about lists and camp ownership some have experienced with that camp and I've probably killed him 40 times or more. The average time for an AC in OOT used to be around 6 1/2 hours. I've not camped him for some time so don't know if anything has changed.

My shaman makes SoW potions for all my alts and it's worked out well. Even at 10 plat a charge it's still a good deal. SoW potions are faster run speed as well. Running across large zones, I always have to stop and let my friends with JBoots catch up. It's definitely a noticeable difference in the run speed.

Yes, SoW pots are underrated. I use them now on my alts. The only time you need the Jboot insta-click is if you're a kiting class and have your speed buff wear off mid kite. Otherwise, just strafe run to the zoneline and resow pot.

Using the SoW pots has never been an issue with my necro. It's a non issue for fear kiting, and for agro kiting I've only had to FD a couple times in the life of my necro, where I couldn't cast the potion fast enough and had to flop. The bulk of the time it just means having to cancel a DoT cast to get the SoW off. IMO with agro kiting, the extra run speed is well worth the hassle. | |||
