New to server, rolled a monk, FBSS or IFS?

Aye, you should focus on good weapons prior to haste. A good weapon is often better than an okay weapon with haste. Do some math.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a TBB?

I went with IFS, got a good deal at 2k, also bought up a bunch of other stuff to resell, when i save up 4k, i will sell IFS for 4k (3.5k lowest), get FBSS, downgrade to WQS, then buy another IFS first chance i get a good deal.

TBB is really nice, but its not haste, and at 4k, i might as well take the plunge for FBSS. Hopefully i can get a good deal on the FBSS...

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Would NOT buy FBSS because it would seem that the Velious release date will be announced in Sirken's stream tonight. FBSS will likely see a huge plunge in pricing because of the haste gloves from Velks. This will be even more true with the sash of the dragonborn. The only items that will retain their full value are probably regen items because off the top of my head, not many regen items were introduced in Velious.

I also managed to get my weight down to 20 stone, picked up robe of living fungus, (hell of a deal at 375) and went with cured silk slippers to replace 3 stone burynai hide boots. Once i replace my purity belt (1.5), and lumberjack cap (1.5) i will almost be there.

I think FBSS will retain most of its value, its the only affordable haste for newer players. How much do you think SCHW will be worth once they are first introduced? 20k? 30k?

People will be camping that mob 24/7 for the bracers since every melee will want them. They might be expensive but i cant see 20 - 30k.

I'm not so sure. Frenzy is on lock down currently and there are thousands of FBSS on this server, price has not fluctuated much. It will take years to reach that many SCHW, so I predict for the first few months they will be worth a fortune.

But perhaps Dald or someone can chime in with their prediction

If Velious is indeed right around the corner, i will hold off, but if its not till mid summer or so, well, a 3-4k hit might be worth it.
