I use them

Oh those are nice.

I'm probably years away from getting those.

I currently have a Seahorse Belt (34% haste) and I could see the Sky Cloak in my near future.

Yea was just more on the lines of crede suggestion. If ya can get trips loot you can do vp.

Hosh boots don't really fit budget ranger, cos while they may be cheap for dkp(?) they do involve acquiring a VP key, which isn't exactly cheap in terms of time to farm or pp for mq. Trak's teeth sometimes get a bit pricey for dkp depending on how meme vp keying is at the time.

That Lucy link has 1h dmg bonus too. It caps at 11 regardless of delay.
I recall the Jade maths out better (2x damage + dmg bonus) / Delay) in the high 50’s. At one point I carried a Wurm on the ranger for tanking and damage shields but it was a very short window.

The ability to proc slows without saddling yourself with a terrible statless 29/41 weapon is pretty nice, but only relevant when you actually want to slow the mob. Playstyle determines how often one cares about this. For some people, it's never. For others, it's everyday routine.

Swiftwind, while not strictly BIS, is a "good enough" off-hand forever. It's your haste item and it's 30 ATK as well, which is quite nice. You never really have to get another off-hand or haste item, so you can spend your DKP on other shit. You can basically think of Swiftwind as also having whatever stats you got out of some other upgrade you were able to get because you didn't need to spend DKP on an off-hand or haste item.

Swiftwind is also straight BIS for archery, so when Luclin launches in 2036, it's the best off-hand for that expansion. When that day comes (and it surely will!) everyone's gonna roll a ranger and those epic MQ pieces will cost a fortune, so get it ahead of time.

Doubt swiftwind is better than earth shaker for archery.

Yea for plunkquest no way Swiftwind beats the 56 damage bonus instead of 11. I don’t know the effect of the attack but it’s not 45 extra per hit.

Quick bows are better with a 2h too but the number of arrows you need to last a disc let alone a long raid fight are insane. I only bow down Lucan with my Dagarn since he’s has low hps and almost every hit is a damage bonus one.
