Uhhh are you remembering what this thread is actually about? It's about erudite-specific items. You'd have a point if the Narandi Crown was an erudite only item, or at least not usable by 'ALL'. That thing should never have been brought up in the first place, it's completely irrelevant.
Ice Forged Shackles aren't Erudite only, but I don't see you complaining about those. Sliver Chitin Hand Wraps are All/All, and Guardian Armor is basically All races.

Just for clarity, people don't generally refer to "race specific items" as items that have 5 specific races listed on them. https://wiki.project1999.com/Greenmist is what people would call a "race specific item", because it is Iksar exclusive. That may be where some of the confusion is coming from. It seems like your definition of "race specific item" is items that specifically list the race on it, even if there are 10 races listed, and "All" isn't valid because the item doesn't list "ERU". That is not a common interpretation.

Technically true, I didn't anticipate being thrust this far under the microscope, but I would say the shackles, while not erudite specific, are still very much in the spirit of the question as they're not usable by ogre/troll, and they indeed ended up being PHENOMENAL fashion.

Nice try making me look as bad as possible though, I really appreciate the sheer effort put into derailing my thread, being told that I can't be satisfied when I am, and suggesting I should probably just leave EQ.

Real classy stuff. Really makes me want to join a guild with like a hundred you's and maybe give my cell number to them, who knows.

I am not doing that at all. I am trying to help you understand what happened. If "off topic" posts really bother you, you need to be able to craft your questions with more details next time.

The only person making themselves look bad here is yourself.

HAHAHAHAHA... ME get an item like THAT? That's a good one. Like I said, this character is 100% absolutely positively not going to raid. It's not gonna happen. I have to work with what I can realistically acquire as a solo, or at most, as part of a group. I main a 59 necro so I can access quite a lot, but obviously I'll never be in a position where I can take down a level 65 mob with 285k hp. Absolute fantasy.
Why act like an asshole to Crede when his suggestion literally fits into your requirements as written? We are not mind readers here. You could have been polite and simply said you didn't want to spend that much money, or clarified your position.

I didn't mean anything bad towards Crede. It was just a self roast.

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Here is another post, the one I originally responded to:

lol @ people in this thread near universally recommending raid shit. It's not happening. I would rather shit in my hands and clap. You guys have fun treating this game like a full time job, that just isn't me.

Also lol @ people in this thread recommending I get this completely unrealistic helmet. This helmet costs about as much as the total platinum I've earned throughout all of my years playing EQ since 2002. "Oh it'll add up eventually", my ass, add up when? 2040? It's bad enough it takes hundreds or even thousands of hours to get to 60, I'm extremely disinterested in being a slave to a guild that I don't care about.

I have to be realistic folks. If I can't fight to it on a 60 necro, I treat it like it doesn't even exist in the game, because for me it might as well not. Period. Stop insisting I raid, and stop recommending I buy hundreds of thousands of platinum worth of items. Neither are happening.
The issue here is you sound angry and aggressive. This is confusing since your original requirements as written allow for a Narandi Crown to be suggested.

I understand that is NOT what you wanted, but that was simply a misunderstanding on the communities part as to what you meant by "Erudite Specific". Since you are wearing Silver Chitin Hand Wraps (All/All) and Guardian Armor (Basically All Races), I don't think anybody was assuming you meant "Gear with ERU specifically in the Race section, even if there are multiple races listed".

You also don't want high value droppable raid loot suggested, which can be acquired outside of raiding. This wasn't mentioned either.

My goal here is to hopefully enlighten you on some of the P99 jargon, so you can formulate your next post more concisely. I don't blame you for not knowing the jargon, but it does rub some people the wrong way when you sound angry for no apparent reason.

I tried to help, but you clearly have this attitude that everybody is out to get you.

Next time people simply won't bother responding to you, because you will just randomly start shouting at people about "being off topic", when the fault lies within your formulation of the question.
