You're not exactly in a position of power bargaining with the person who has the gate-keeping piece of your epic.

Likely won't find one for less than 200k.

Wrong. I hold the cards sir. I'm John Wick and you're the three guys in a bar that I killed earlier with a Pencil.

(obviously, but I can still make the observation that 200k for an epic piece only one class uses in a zone that a lot of people frequent is highball)

its rare enough that people will pay 200k+ easy even tho the item is kinda not that great, just to be a completionist . You can try to get for 150 but i promise you wont.

i would just casually farm obscure items needed to craft cultural or exotic high end items and sell them in bulk to some whale with 6 mana stones whos trying to max fashionquest

Really all you need is Swiftwind and SBoZ unless you're trying to solo artist or pull off tough stuff w/o a slower.

I like to solo mainly, but I was going to start getting in the habit of bow rotting with a Tolan's bracer, though I don't know if Talisen Trailblazer Bow makes for a good ranged option, I use it only for the stats.

Presently my Ranger uses dual Lamentation, was planning to at least upgrade to Winter's Fury and Skyfury Scimitar.

You need a woodsmans staff. stat.

There is no other single upgrade better right now within your reach. Woody staff will absolutely crush winters + skyfury.

Especially since you solo...you're tanking unslowed mobs. Fewer mob ripostes = moar gud

And don't tell me you don't like 2 handers. Going on feels is for shitters. You'll thank me later.

Yeah yeah I know the drill, I will get one eventually. But I would be remiss not to say I do like going on feels. I like flashy animations and seeing a bunch of little swings, which is why, if I eventually go Monk, I'd probably prefer AC/SoS over T-Staff.

Does Woody crush SBoZ/BoC or Swifty though? I never figured +30 Attack is that huge of a DPS boost.

Boc is a waste buy sboz and your swift wind MQ, or just get a woodsman staff.

Doesn't BoC have a slightly better ratio? Something like .065 vs 0.61?

I read on their page that Kittens did Sky/Fear/Hate and entry-level raids on the regular, it's the upper stuff like ToV they don't do often.

We do all sorts of stuff, especially on quakes. My comment was based on years of raiding Hate with Kittens. One year we got like 6 SEOC’s including mine. It’s been a bit dry lately but less people needing it so supply v demand. In four years or so I’ve only heard of one sub 60 main getting one on a random Hate raid. When minis spawn people to kill them fairly quickly so not much time to wait for a community event.

SBoZ is 40k. Woodsman is <4k. Your math is a bit off on the ratio and doesn’t include damage bonus which scales per level.
DW mid 50’s with a Swiftwind is probably better but it won’t be huge. Nothing really is once you get to relative tiers and 2h is very strong in recent patches. Plus you can nuke and jolt without watching your dps piddle away.

Also 2h for monks is really good. Anyone not using a Peacebringer or IFS for an AC/SoS these days is having fun but missing out, especially at 60. IMHO but I don’t have a monk.
