Leaping Boots

Re: Leaping Boots

I met at least 40 players that were RNG, THF, NIN, and DRG all had claimed to of been kicked from a party because they didn't have items like leaping boots. I've even witnessed a party leader kick a player before because he thought the player to be horribly equipped, all he would state is that the guy didn't have Leaping Boots and Emperors Hairpin treating it like it was a necesity.

believe it or not as a dark knight between lvls 30-36 i was kicked out of groups repeatedly because i didn't not have leaping lizard boots or emp pin on ragnarok. it was crazy
i got them at lvl 37 the EX versions and now at lvl 40 i'm being kicked out of gorups for not having 2 sniper rings

however i can't go camp the archer rings any more because the EX version has no way to be upgraded into an EX version of sniper rings. *insert sad face here*

*Sigh* It's things like this that makes me wonder if I'm playing the wrong game sometimes. Thinking about moving to Fantasy Earth if it ever comes out in the US. Though knowing us we'll probably ruin that game too...

Re: Leaping Boots

i never got kicked, and i don`t think i would kick someone not having 2 sniper (or at least one)

i got my first sniper with lev 46 and only becaus i got lucky with crafting results. otherwise i could not think how much time it will cost me to farm the money.

with some other job lev 75 sure it is easier to get equip i need for another job i like to play..
maybe thats one of the reason why some will kick you for not having the best

i dunno

i`m happy to play and to party, and as long as my pt is the same meaning, we`ll be ok

Re: Leaping Boots

Oh I wish I would have gotten kicked out of a party for not having hairpin or boots. HOW I wish. (...But i'm usually starting all my parties anyhow...so, I get to kick all the other DD's!)

...Gear is nice, but having the top notched BEST gear is really not going to affect too much of anything in the long run. I'm currently THF 54/NIN27, Galka THF mind you, and I have yet to grab Hairping or Boots. (I figured a whopping +1 DEX for boots and +2Dex and +2Agi to pin is the ultimate factor that makes me the best THF in the world! /sarcasm off)

And yet, why is it that I'm hitting 500-700 on SATAs? DEX - 59(+31) AGI - 52(+20). I guess with Emp hairpin and boots, I'd be doing a lil bit more in DMG...(And this is with Captain Mrc. Headgear and Noct Gaiters +1)but I don't find it worth my time or money, and if I did have them, I'd probably sell them to some starved-idiot who just has to have THE ultimate gear.

So yeah...Unfortunately, when it comes to gear, I don't care too much as long as you've got something useful for the PT. Know your role in a PT, and you'll be fine. My only concern is when you don't know how to MB or open up a Skillchain at 50+....then we have a serious problem...especially after the BLM has asked you ten times repeatedly to open up the SC. ("Thank you." "Take care." /kick)

..Guess my point is....
Gear doesn't make a good player.
Good players make use of gear.

Re: Leaping Boots

Yeah, I never been kicked out of a pt for not having certain gear. If I did I would have a protest for gear racism. lol

Re: Leaping Boots

Gear discrimination not racism.

Re: Leaping Boots

Oh back in the day I ran into people with that mentality. You had to have a Life Belt as a melee when you lvled and if you didn't people looked down their noses at you. But this was back when Haubs were like impressive if you had one. So I had been trying to ge a chest in Fei Yen but was not having much luck against the thfs. So I lvl and have no life belt, the leader of the pt comments on why I don't have one, I explain, and 15 mins later a drk strolls up and the leader tells me that I've been replaced and kicks me.

Next day, I get a pt, gather my stuff together and hustle to the homepoint in Jeuno. When I get there I have a couple people in the pt check me and next thing I know I'm kicked. I ask the leader and he said that people were complaining I had no life belt.

So ya I've been on that side myself and its so silly. I dont bother checking people's equips unless they show up to pt with a fishing tunic on. LOL
