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

I have 2 60s and a few 50-40s Alts.

I own 0 JBoots and I do just fine.

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.

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.

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

Kill the PH's only to have it stolen from me when I was literally 2 feet away by Ambit of Taken. Awesome.

SRo one or OoT one?

SRo one that's just how that camp goes. OOT one you can get your ring back from Ambit if it was your camp.

It was SRo, I can't solo the AC in OOT, I don't think. I know how the camp works because someone explained it to me. Still though, to me, that was some low-brow stuff. I was honestly in attack distance and his instant "uncomfortable" spell hit first (I think - it was hard to tell because it was THAT close). I realize that's how the camp works but I really hope he feels shitty about it. That's just very uncool and hey, maybe that's how P99 is at the top, I don't know.

Still sucks ass. Some people don't have the luxury of having 60's to camp JBoots with ease. Camping it prevents me from leveling as well, or making money, or progressing... really.

Anyway, I'm not saying he wasn't within his rights to do what he did but it still sucks and it wasn't very nice.

That is the beauty of MQ! You can earn your JBoots while leveling without ever having to deal with situations like this or the frustration, lost time and energy associated with it ^^ SoW pots are vastly more economical too. For me it'd take 2-3 years of normal use to burn enough sow pots to pay for JBoots. The pots are also transferable (if they haven't been spent) whereas the boots are an immediate sunk cost. It's like leasing vs. buying, except there is not maintenance associated with the purchase in this case.... ^^

It's one of those items that is absolutely ruined by MQ, imo.

MQ is great, I agree, but in this case, this is one of those items that I'm having a tough time feeling great about, especially after what just happened. 100pp is a lot of skrilla if I need to consistently replenish it.

Aaaaaaanyway, I'm just bitching and moaning. But I do hope he feels bad about it!~!!

That's why I never buy JBoots.

They cost 7-8k I think.

SoW Potions are 100.

Thats 70 Sow Potions for the same price, or 700 casts of SoW, or 25200 minutes of SoW, or 420 hours or 17.5 continuous days of being SoW'd.

Just keep 3-4 on you and every month visit EC and drop another 300-400 on some more.

SoW is 20% faster and lasts twice as long as JBoots.

this logic is sound...

but hey who am I to say, I get hit by a bixi and I'm clicking a stinging wort pot.
