wizard gear quests...

[guineapig]

Getting Fear gear for a wizard is a huge pain in the ass, it's nothing like getting geared as an enchanter or mage.

There are very few Frightfingers in fear (maybe 5?) and you are lucky to get maybe 1 wizard item per raid. Now multiply that by how many wizards are still looking for items from that zone and... well you get the idea. (At least wizards can use cryosilk which in most cases is a valid substitute for carmine.)

Now compare:

Carmine Pants
Slot: LEGS
AC: 5
STR: +3 STA: +3 HP: +15
SV COLD: +10
WT: 0.7 Size: MEDIUM

Tishan's Kilt
Slot: LEGS
AC: 5
STR: +4 STA: +4 HP: +20
WT: 0.8 Size: SMALL


Unless you are on a Vox raid, Tishan's kilt is a better item. More strength stamina and hitpoints, and it fits in to a small bag.


Also, some people enjoy doing quests.

So while some quests really aren't worth doing anymore with Kunark out, it's not always the case. And planar wizard gear is a pain to farm unless you are willing to settle for Cryosilk.
