I made a thread about this some time back, some people agreed and others were like "WTF n00b, you need jboots zOMG!" I like my sow potions. There's arguments that jboots insta-click is good for raid environments, but I'm a tank... I don't spend much time running away. SOW potions for me, I have other things to spend 6K on.

Why not just buy SOW potions?
The other day I was debating on whether or not jboots are actually worth it. All of this time spent camping or waiting for the camp to open, or 6k for MQ. They're slower than SOW, yes? A 10 dose SOW potion costs 100pp. So you're paying 10pp per dose. So, buying an MQ costs 6k... which would also buy you 600 SOW potion doses. So if SOW lasts 30 minutes, that's 300 hours of SOW for 6000pp.
And you only need SOW when you are moving, not when you are sitting on your butt at a camp. I might only travel about 20% of my /played time. So, 6k worth of SOW potions should actually last me 1500 hours played. This is more than 62 days played. For the average person's scheduled weekly play that's 2 years of this game, assuming 20 hours a week. If you are talking about 10 hours a week, double that to 4 years. It takes 4 years for those jboots to be worth the cost if you play just 10 hours a week.

Your mileage may vary. If you are a very active player with lots of time and lots of plat - get the jboots. Why not?
