As an iksar shaman I can at least use Gate or use expensive potions to move around Norrath, but any iksar melee will really have a hard time sellibg/ buying stuff

What I said was most races are human size. Changing from human size to a human sized skeleton does nothing. Big races have plenty of options to shrink themselves as well. The only time where Skeleton Illusion can play a decent role for size changing is small races (going from gnome size to human size, for example). However, the need for that situation is not very common, and many small race classes have other options to deal with this. Most zones that have this problem can be levitated in. ToV was specifically mentioned, since levitate doesn't work in there. However, Gnomes/Halflings/Dwarfs are rarely doing things in ToV that require absolute speed when going over large steps. In these cases, other raid members can help you out. If you are someone who is a dedicated raid player AND a small race, AoN may indeed be worth it for you. That doesn't change the idea that is is overhyped and overpriced for most players[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Quote:

I am not discouraging people from getting AoN, or any other rare item whose value is dictated more by price than utility. I am simply saying AoN really isn't that great of an item, when you look at what it gives you, and when you look at what it takes to acquire it.

1. Ragebringer has great utility for rogues. It is a good item, even if only one class can use it. It is certainly worth the cost. 2. AoN has little utility for all classes/races. I was simply pointing out some class/race combinations can get a bit more utility out of it due to the "unshrinking" effect. Honestly though, that isn't a very big deal in most cases. For faction, it is much easier to fix faction than getting 200-300k. You could easily fix the faction of multiple characters before you farmed 200-300k for one character in most cases, unless you are very lucky with high value drops. Even DKP wise it is still a fairly high cost item, which means you are wasting quite a bit of DKP on an item with comparatively little value when looking at other raid loot. 3. AoN is closer to Rubicite Armor in terms of Cost vs. Utility. AoN has a high cost and low utility, which makes it much closer to Rubicite Armor. AoN is also fairly rare, which keeps it's cost up. It is one of the rarer drops off of Fear Golems, and there are certainly people who have AoN's that quit playing. I agree AoN has more utility than Rubicite, but it isn't a huge leap. That is why your Ragebringer argument doesn't make sense, since AoN isn't anywhere near Ragebringer in terms of utility. 4. I never said people shouldn't get an AoN lol, or that you are bad for having one. I was just responding to the idea that losing FSI during skeleton form is a big deal for Shamans and Shadowknights. It really isn't, since there is no benefit to being in Skeleton Form in combat. The greatest utility AoN has is faction adjustment, which isn't combat related. The only exception to this is https://wiki.project1999.com/Soul_Defiler , because the Skeleton Form also gives you mana regeneration. But that isn't AoN. Quote:
I never claimed people shouldn't spend money on items if they want it. More power to you. That still doesn't make the item great, just because it is expensive[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Quote:

I honestly do not want an AoN, and I have had quite a few opportunities to get one. I understand how little value it brings to the table, compared to it's cost in Platinum or DKP. If you want an AoN, that is completely fine. One of Everquest's incentives is acquiring rare items that most people only get to dream about. But cool factor is not equal to utility.

Having duoed heavily with an AoN equipped ogre shaman. I can confirm, that on that on that class/race combo, it prolly has the least utility. Whenever I asked them they said they used it only for the cool factor. However, that being said. I played iksar, I would borrow it all the time for faction and pulling purposes. I have ground faction. The AoN is faster. With one click im NOT kos in so many places. When i pull multiple mobs and need one rooted, I can flop and am damn near impossible to accidently target with said root, which saves time and mana. When I've been in groups with multiple chars that look damn near the same. But one serves a more important purpose, such as main tank, or puller, you can pass it around and illusion the unimportant ones. Making it easier to get that clutch target swap for the heal, etc. There are practically endless uses to an AoN, just have to be creative.
