Seahorse + hiero or seahorse + maelstrom if you want to save a bit more pp

I believe OP is intending to rock the pimping wearing your wealth look. Wouldn't be seen dead in a maelstrom cloak (and rangers are often seen dead!)

So much "passive aggressive-ism" in this thread.

Mostly from the OP!

When one creates a thread with a question the OP can't really gatekeep the thread; sure it is important to get to a conclusion that gives a satisfactory answer to the question. Consider, though, it is also important to remember that this is a public forum and other young Rangers in similar, but not identical, circumstances might stumble upon the thread. With that in mind, it is courteous to consider the needs of these readers In addition to those of the OP, especially once the initial question has been answered.

Likewise, many people will have been in similar circumstances to the OP, and as such have experience of where those circumstances might lead. It is considerate of said posters to highlight these issues to the OP, even if these issues are outside the explicit scope of the original question.

I hope this explains why you might be feeling your thread isn't being treated entirely seriously; behind the veil of humour it does seem to me everyone participating in this particular thread has been trying to help you, even if that help has sometimes been received somewhat dismissively.

With all due respect I've tried to keep this post devoid of my usual playful sark in light of your previous objections.

Sirens Grotto belt is just an all around great item; imo best value amongst the top tier tradable haste items. Good stats/saves and a strong 34% haste that gives you a functional performance rate within 1% of 36% worn haste for all times you don’t have strong enchanter haste to push you to 100%.

Remember also that at lower levels your total haste is capped:

1-30 haste capped at 50%
31-50 haste capped at 74%
51-54 haste capped at 84%
55-59 haste capped at 94%
60 haste capped at 100%

At 34% worn haste this means shaman celerity will put you at the haste cap until you dong 55. Until you hit lv 51 lower shaman alacrity haste will have you at haste cap. Functionally until you hit 60 any level appropriate good ench haste will have you at the cap.

Imo it is the best value. For the stats alone it is worth wearing.

Stats aren’t that big a deal in EQ, haste is though. Seahorse belt looks deceptively good with all the numbers, but +4 core stats 25/25 1vsall makes no functional difference in reality.

That’s why CoF sells despite having pretty bad stats. 9agi / 9dex / 9 svf is not a selling point for anyone. 50 hp and 36% hp are why you’re buying it, the rest are just incidental numbers.

Big Effin LOL to this! Guess tanks should stop asking shamans for str/sta/dex bc stats aren’t that big a deal lol!

I remember myself as a new player being super excited about buying a serpentine bracer because it had a lot of stats, too.

Hmm so
4 str slightly increases dmg and average hit
4 dex slightly increases proc rate
4 sta gives roughly 20hp
4 wis will give roughly 20 mana

This shit adds up
