For 1-2k more you can get an item which you will basically never regret having. Otherwise, you should probably just use SoW pots.

I find I would regret spending 2k more to save 1.5 secs of my life now and then. I get that it isn't superior to jboots... but regret? a bit of a stretch.

Not about saving 1.5seconds. Can cast while moving, instantly replace when dispelled w/o interrupting attack, refresh spell bar, lag people out with perpetual kaioken aura and more! Saved seconds are not a consideration ^^

But yes, no need to regret ^^

Yea....jboots in general are so expensive....5k?

That is equal to 50 full sow pots....

Which is 500 doses of sow....

Which is 250 hours of sow.....

Unless you are going to go ALL the way to 50+ on a character, it is just way cheaper to throw on a bunch of sow potions. I play lotta alts, so getting Jboots on them is usually out of the question.

I prefer the instant click. There's a lot of oh shit moments where you are glad you can reapply your run speed instantly. Paying a bit more won't really matter in the long run, an extra 2k plat doesn't take long to acquire.

just kill the damned Ancient Cyclops

instacast=2k value difference and worth it.

have these shoes been for sale always? insta cast is swell esp for griefing people with spam but sometimes it's just a hassle to buy the MQ for your 500th Fire Giant Warrior

I just wrote a post about why TBoots aren't a good option for most people in the Monk forums: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...70#post2351770

Traveler's boots are no drop which rules them out for half of the people on the server without heavy faction work...

As an Iksar Monk, I got Kindly with the gnomes in SolA after doing ~5 levels in SolB (I don't know where I started). I expect that most good races start out non-KoS, and my own experience indicates that evil races don't need very heavy faction work to faction up.

My rogue, ranger, and druid can all cast SoW, but they all carry Jboots. Each of them have had their lives saved from having an instant emergency run speed clickie at some point. Every class besides Shaman should carry them.

1.5 cast time kills most of the utility, would not recommend.
