People of appropriate level can no longer get jboots

Yes, I made a thread on it. Vendor is dubious to me on an iksar, but I can sneak. Not sure of his faction. Here is that thread link:

For custom content, would love to see you pay Hasten 3250 gold for a satchel and you combine ring + rapier to hand in. This is definitely a MQ that deserves to go away.

I'm considering getting them on an Iksar Necro. If I had someone share wolf form me, would I be able to buy them straight away you think?

You're a dick, OP. You do not have to have jboots to level. Period. Camp OOT in your 50':s. It's not hard.

Bye bye OP

It's a huge playability issue. Some classes need jboots just to level, like wizards. You can't join the server and get jboots like you could on Live, or here before the 2014 patch.

The 2014 patch made it so that instead of having a fixed spawn, the SRO AC spawns randomly, some place in the zone, at 9pm. (Technically he spawns somewhere along his wandering path.) What this means is that a high level tracker can just zone in at 9pm and if it pops, they get it. It's happened to me twice. After days of camping, a high level druid zones in at 9pm, the AC pops and they run right to it. The odds of getting it yourself vs. a jboot farmer are now basically zero.

Before, there was a fixed spawn that you could time. No matter how many people were hovering around, only I would know the instant when it would pop, and that would let me get jboots at the appropriate level, i.e. mid 30's.

I've resigned myself to not getting jboots until the 50's, when I'll have to camp the OOT AC for them. Until then it's sow potions. I'm not ever going to get extorted for 7k by a piece of shit like the trackers who go to SRO at 9pm. Not ever. These shitbags have basically said: you can't play on P99 unless you give us 7k to use an exploit that's outside the rules of the game.

So until then, whenever I see someone selling jboots, I'm killing Hasten.

It happened just now. Here you go:

If these shitbags can use an exploit to extort the whole server, I don't see why I can't kill a single blue wandering mob. If I wasn't supposed to kill him he'd have more than 3k hps.

This really needs to be fixed. I understand that the change was probably intended to make the SRO AC more fair, but what it actually did was make it impossible to get jboots unless you're a high level tracker. Instead of getting 3k for blocking honest players from playing the game as intended, jboot farmers now get 7k. Instead of helping the situation, the patch actually made these assholes richer.

Hate never helps, bruv.

In all honesty I never seen anyone camping Sro AC ever since the spawn and pattern of how it spawned was changed by the servers devs. It's just way too inconsistent of a pop.

Sadly, this has made it so only the OOT AC can be camped routinely and easily, making the Jboots bottlenecked by neckbeards who sit everyday and all day camping it in OOT.

I agree this sucks. But, just suck it up for a few days, go to OOT, and get on their stupid list, the ones that sit at OOT AC every day and all day. They will gladly let you get in on the rotation of the AC there.

It's the only way. Killing Hasten does not fix this problem, not at all.

What you are doing not only harms Jboot farming neckbeards, but also the innocent bystanders who had to participate in this ridiculous routine of camping the AC, sitting there on a supposed list that the Jboot farming nerds have created for anyone who wants any chance of getting their own ring of the ancients.

Don't punish the innocents, bro. They already been through enough messing about with trying to get their own ring of the ancients!

When my monk was level 44 or 45 i wanna say, i was in oasis killing spectres. Happened to notice that it was 8pm game time so i said to myself "hey, why not zone into Sro and check". So i zoned over. The only other person in Sro was a low level troll shaman or something and there was AC just chillin there.

So saying that getting them in Sro isn't possible just simply isn't true. Also got stormfeather in a similar fashion

Yeah I don't think anyone can honestly believe it's impossible to get the ring in Sro. That being said, I am pretty sure the vast number of people that have done as you did, checked to see if by some chance the Ac was up left feeling disappointed after not seeing him up.

I have watched and ran through Sro many times on many different alts, and never seen the AC up, not once. So I feel it's pretty safe to say he is rarely up, let alone just sitting there waiting for the pickings.

Fair enough

Good luck, OP. Kill all the gnomes.
