The Swirlspine Belt

[Safon]

16 percent haste, 4 ac. 5 percent less haste than an fbss, in exchange for 4 ac.

Worse than the fbss, clearly, but by how large a margin?

What should the Swirlspine Belt sell for? I can't recall the last time I even saw one

[fadetree]

Well, the 4ac vs the haste is no comparison imo. I haven't seen one either...I would guess maybe around 3k-ish.

It is worse than FBSS by a margin of 5% or 25% depending on how you want to look at it

Speed Kills. Simple as that. You can never be fast enough.

That's what she said

Last time I saw one of these for sale it was before Kunark and if I remember right, it was about half the price of FBSS. I'd say 3k would be a fair price.

I saw one in the Tunnel about a week ago. I am thinking it was 3500 plat. Maybe wrong?

They are a real pita to get though, arent they? I'd love to farm these for my twink army, but the seahorses are like totally MR and hard to single.

Honestly, I picked up a Sash of the Dragonborn for my twink for 9k. 3% haste more than FBSS and 2AC, and at the time FBSS prices were crashing and the Sash was the same price as FBSS's were the month before. I think I'd still recommend Sash over FBSS for the price difference considering the next best haste is on 30k+ items (although the extra stats of SBC and RBG justify the extra expense). But, as already stated, speed > stats.

I spent a good amount of time at the Phinny camp back on live, and I never saw a belt drop. You would think for a camp that hard to get to and pull, the belt would be far better than the FBSS which is comparatively simply to get.
