Iksar Regen BP worth it?

[Jeebo]

53 Shaman, only character on the server. No epic, no JBB (Iksar), no Fungi. Not much money.

Should I bother saving for an Iksar BP? Is it even worth my time at this point?

Not sure what your natural regen is now, but it's got to be pretty close to wearing a fungi now? Think I'd put the savings towards my torpor or epic fund if I was you.

Just get a farming party together. At 53 the camp should be a breeze

I say get either a JBB or an Ikky BP now, because they both can help you get more plat/levels faster. You can always sell them later once you get close to being able to afford your epic or a fungi tunic.

As for which one, I think the extra damage the JBB gives will benefit you more than the 5/hp a tick the BP gives, but I never had an Ikky BP so I can't say for sure.

Any regen is better than no regen. Ikky bp did my sham well until I could afford a fungi (57 I think).

It's worth every penny.

[GreldorEQ]

I agree that its worth the cash - if you were 10k away from biying an epic or a fungi I would say just keep farming, but if youre a long way from those, the bp will help with levelling and retain its value.

While it's probably a decent investment (you won't lose plat by the time you sell it and it will be moderately helpful to you now), Tupakk has a good suggestion.

All you really need is a tracker and a monk to farm this cycle, get a little exp, and maybe more money.

You can also look at it this way... Level 54, you can get Cannibalize III. With the Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate, you'll regen some of that lost HP that was converted into mana.

The funny thing about the Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate is the mob that drops the Chestplate, randomly spawned by killing froglok foragers in Trakanon's Teeth and has 2500 HP. The Froglok Foragers has about 6000 HP.

As I used to say on the original Shamans' Crucible -- your chest slot is way too important to waste on stats.

Regen above all.

this is fucking retarded advice. Let's say you make $8/hr already, why would you want a raise of another $5?

At 60 an iksar has 8 more sitting regen than a non-iksar, and any regen is better than no regen. The extra regen you receive from the ikky bp will be noticeable. You are not losing any plat by buying an ikky bp now and selling it later, the price will never change by more than a few k and at level 60 when you need torpor, that will be pennies.

This isn't the housing market, and you're not betting on stocks.

Edit: I am, frankly, flabbergasted at the incredible stupidity of Lhancelot's post.

[Jimjam]

I picked up one of these chestplates by accident recently while keying an alt.

I was surprised by how noticeable the 5 regen is. I'm sure it would be even better for shaman.

If you buy one for 10 and end up selling it for 7 when looking for a real fungi I'd still think that was 3k well spent.

[mattitude]

Just continuing with the above post, seems like they pretty heavily stay at about 9k to 10k. If anything buy it if you can, then sell it when you're ready to upgrade to a fungi or need the 10k plat for torpor or whatever. I had one until I was about 10k short for a fungi so I sold it for what I bought it for and got the fungi.

[Jeebo]

Thanks for the input y'all.

Since I'm going to try to avoid MQing my epic I think this'll be my short-term goal.

[Troxx]

It's a good goal. Any worn regen is very noticeable regardless of your race. It is exceptionally useful on a shaman even 51-60 (pre torpor). I'd honestly plan on wearing it until you can afford a fungi.

Yea and that's why the OP is walking away, mumbling under his breathe that we don't know what the fuck we are talkin about... :D

I love filbus. I will forever hear the voice of Richard Hammond in my head when reading his posts.
