Speaking of Jboots - stop camping AC in sro, it's not going to happen. just gain 2-3 levels to get your 39 spells and head to OOT.

end.

Your welcome.

Given the ample amount of people willing to camp jboots and sell them for 6k, i'd rather just pay for them i think. I could make 6k faster than i could camp them so...

Lvl 35 - ~1kp. Such is the life of a monk.

That being said. Just because you are getting Jboots doesn't mean you don't need SoW. 1) It's a click buff, like many have said. 2) For the times you DON'T have access to SoW, it could be a life saver. 3) As a puller for the group, I want to cry when I don't have a SoW, and JBoots will solve this issue.


Long story short. If you have 6k or the time, it's well worth it. I plan on camping for mine however, since 5-6k is way outta my league atm.

I have camped 1 pair for myself and 3 other pairs and I have yet to spend more than 6 hours there...hell second and third one took me 2 and 1 hours respectively.

Like Shiftin identifed above, Kunark outdoor dragons are a perfect opportunity to flex your insta cast Jboots/Spyglass.

Almost worth it solely for that reason.

1. SoW potions take time to cast. Warriors (among other melee classes) can't channel. Jboots are instant. If you're running for your life and you aren't SoWed, jboots will save your face.

2. You can still outrun most mobs with jboots.

3. Instant clickies are useful for all manner of outdoor dispelling fights, as noted above.

And if I can raise 5-6k as a warrior, you can do it too. Takes time, but you're playing anyway, right? Go farm spectres for a bit. Go farm a Ghoulbane and sell it. All of these things add up.

I wasnt gonna post this but ... if the "night" timeframe is crack of 9pm to crack of 7am, and the ph spawn timer is 30m40s, and an hour in game is 3m, THEN - is it not the case that you can only get one chance per 72 rl minutes to get an ac? and with a 10% spawn rate that works out to 12 hour average camp. The 3 ac i killed popped around 9pm, never got one to pop during the 7am hour. People seem to think they can get two chances, but that seems wrong. Thoughts or anecdotes? this is obv the sro ac im talking about.

Well anyway, the OP is correct in the sense that you don't NEED them. Are they nice to have if you can afford them or camp them for yourself? Sure they are! But they are not essential.

Potions take 4 seconds to cast but are cheaper and 20% faster. Both are useless indoors. Investing in 10 dose sow potions are a perfectly viable substitute.

Yes, there are a few instances where having the insta-click of j-boots will save you but these situations are much rarer than people let on.

In summary:

J-boots = great tool
sow potions = perfect economical substitute for most situations.
