jboots camp vs quest

[Veikuri]

Which do you guys feel is more easier/time consuming to do. The current list camp or the quest that will come out later on?

I think it's fair to say the quest ring is much easier to obtain.

Is there a reason people are spending 10~30 hours on the camp then?

Raid req's and not having to wait.

Expect similar wait times for the AC and who knows when Hasten will be up. 24 hours for a start to finish Jboots is probably not going to be uncommon at all.

Jboots week 2-3 of green was a cake walk.

Now if I had to choose. I'd farm the plat and buy the MQ when it comes.

Eventually the camp should mellow out for it to become substantially faster and convenient to quest/buy. However, considering the current population, the people in hibernation biding their time until Kunark, and the legions of iksar monk raiders that will be pouring out of Cabilis, you can expect the AC to become locked down in short order.

One advantage to biting the bullet now is that you won't have to risk dealing with bad behavior later: guildies passing the camp between themselves, druids and wizards hiding corpsed rings underwater, MQ scammers linking rings from Blue, lone actors killing Hasten and popping Brother Zephyl, KSing the Sro spawn, etc.

Because its the only way to get them if you want them now.

This is why /list is fair.

Rest assured, the AC spawns will be locked down in short order and the vast majority will be sold as MQ's. I'd expect the MQ to start out around 10k on green and will take quite a while to settle down to the 6k it runs on blue.

So the question here is how you value your time. Many people right now feel they could camp 6 - 10k in the time it takes to wait out the list on green now. This has the benefit of being completely on your own schedule, with all the AFK's you desire.

But if you really hate farming plat, or would rather spend it on other things, and the time sink is reasonable for your life, then the list is a superior option overall. Just make no mistake, while this isn't manastone levels of torture it DOES suck and takes a long ass time.
