7-8k seems more than fair to me. It's a pretty kick ass item, and for some classes it is amazing. Find a zone with lots of mobs easy for you to kill at your level, and mow through them till bags full of whatever, sell off, repeat. Given say level 25, it should only take a month give or take to save 7k.

Heh I agree, its like priced exactly as it should be for the difficulty to obtain.

Easy camp, little bit of a journey, lots of lawyering, some mq.. Its got the whole package.

If it were any less you'd borderline have to do it yourself half the time.

I like how its like this steady little economy simulator heh

I'm not saying they're not worth it nor am I saying I'm unwilling to camp them, I'm saying it is impossible with how many high levels camp them. The fact the boots stay so high contrary to how often it is camped is wholly due to the wealth amassed at the top end, not normal economics.

I could have 7k now if my guy was butt naked but unfortunately as you level, you sorta attempt to gear yourself so you're not gibbed in groups and/or can solo ... Sorta.

I'll try later today.

I'm curious as to why OT hammers dropped significantly. Are there that many puppet strings out there?

I never considered Jboots for 7-8k when Sow pots are 100p. Granted there is a mental barrier knowing its 10p each time you click that pot and it is not instant, but its there when you need it / want it.

BTW Any tips for melatite for the Ro stuff. Been trying to buy it without success and don't want to kill gnomes.

JBoots were cheaper before the AC spawn changes. Price is a function of supply and demand and piles of plat at the top. Only way around it is to invest some time, get max level land a couple of high-end drops and then enjoy JBoots and the like on your 2nd, 3rd and and 14th characters ^^

No real tips except try in EC for awhile and if not successful, make a trip to SolA and ask in the zone. I found one being sold in EC and one being sold in SolA. Both were about 15-20p. You could buy them from merchants but they sell for 100p. Not worth it unless you've got the money to spend.

Looks like they were around 6.3k.

Where is my knight in shining armor that will sell me Jboots for 2k out of the goodness of their EQ hearts for a glorious struggle Paladin? I wish I was a chick. I'd have boots for sure! ;P
