Toxi:

Since green opened the most I've ever managed to get was 6k at one point, I had got a thick banded belt while camping guise on cleric, and the thick banded belt was a lucky roll to win the ONLY high value item I have ever obtained myself in a group across all of classic EQ, all of my years on Blue server, and the couple on green. I am not a very lucky player, I have not been able to farm money or items well. On blue I mained bard and wizard.

Maybe next season of green I'll open up with a shaman or enchanter like everyone else. I took the difficult road here it seems
I'd set up shop in Sebilis on your cleric and try to get into groups and start looting gems and rolling for loot.

You could find yourself in a disco group (or just duo w/ an enc) and looting your own IFS.

Go back to your monk after getting a good chunk through 60 and twink the shit out of it.

If you were on blue I'd ping my buddy just to log on and give you the damn plat.

6.0 wt is nothing to sneeze at. Also slower moar better.
OP is on Green, not Blue. On Blue I agree that Peacebringer in general isn't worth getting due to how cheap IFS is on Blue. On Green Peacebringer is 3k, and IFS is 10k. The difference is 7k. Still not a huge sum of money for a lot of players these days, but for OP it's obviously a lot of money. On Green there is less plat and I assume more competition for money spots too.

From my current play experience on my Monk, getting a 0.11 boost in ratio is going to improve survivability more than reducing 6.0 stones. Quivering Staff has a 0.82 ratio and Peacebringer has a 0.93 ratio. The AC loss just isn't that noticeable, at least when you are below 50. With OP's current armor setup, they can stay under the weight limit with Peacebringer if they want to.

I still can't believe it, I was just trying to parse it but the trance seems to be winning 14/18 vs 21/28.

Also, about peacebringers weight, its not an issue. I haven't bought it, but I will still be far under weight limit. I will have like 11 if I ended up getting it. Wu's Quivering staff is heavy too after all.

Yeah that is a good point. I forgot Quivering Staff was already 9 stone. Get Peacebringer[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bring out yer parses...

I would like to see this. If you can disprove a long accepted damage formula, that would change things up for a lot of people.

Actually, that raises a question for testing purposes.. Do you use a program specifically for that, and is it allowed? I do it manually with a stopwatch and a calculator, which is kind of silly these days.
Edit: Also, to unload the loaded part, i'm not attempting to disprove a damage formula. No way man.

You can even just download something like notepad++ and filter the results by doing a find all. Just move your old log file into a backup folder before you start. You can also mark the start of your parse by /saying something specific.
