Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

[Queen Uma]

The ultra uber level 45 armour set for those of you who don't know its the HQ version of the Alumine set;

Head:Luisant Salade
Body: Luisant Haubert
Hands:Luisant Moufles
Legs:Luisant Brayettes
Feet:Luisant Solerets

I am finding it impossible to get one. Parts of the armour haven't been on the AH for months and the aluminium sheets needed for crafting have only ever been sold on the AH 4 times in the history of the server.

I know a high level crafter who is capable of making the set, I am also capable of mining (with a friend) the items involved but is it worth my time/effort to do so?

It is a really nice set and would be a great luxury to have. If I get it, how long is it likely to last me and what are the chances I will be able to sell it on when I am finished, although I would probably keep it given that you don't see many of them around.

It is a really nice set, but it's not really worthwhile to get all of it unless you just want it for bragging rights. The body you'd want to trade out for Haubergeon at 59 definitely. I'm not so sure about the other parts.

I mean, if you have the gil to spare, sure. But it seems like an awful lot of gil to spend on something that no one actually needs.

if you can find it and afford it, go ahead, but for the short time it will last you it is NOT worth the trouble you're making of it.

Im sure it will sell very quickly too rich players wanting bragging rights when the time comes to dump it on AH.

Re: Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

Now, I used to have a friend who played DRK from about 45-55 with me. Luisant is FAR beyond bragging rights.

Check the AH history for Aluminum ore most likley the crafters will buy that and make the sheets and the armour, the ores drop from BCNM 50's in monarch linn so yeah they arent all that common considering most ppl do the 40 cap ones their for a chance at woodsmans ring.

Re: Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

to make that more clear, he had a full set of the stuff. Apperently he's been playing two years, and puts so much effort into making gil and being his best, that's as far as he had gotten.

Anyway, he could put out numbers that, as a black mage myself, were awe-inspiring.

Re: Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

I ~WISH~ I could have gotten my mitts on a few of these for my WAR, and my SAM. But the Body piece is like 10M right now, I'll just stick with the Jujitsu Gi for my SAM, and I'm pass this stuff for my WAR. If I had it to do all over again, and I had 25M to toss on this stuff, I don't think I'd buy more than the boots and legs.

Legs would be good until Lv.55 Breeches, and the boots would be good for DRK & WAR until Lv.67 when Rutters are an option. Fuma's may be a better option if you're going to drop this kinda gil on your feet for SAM.

Body of course couldn't take the place of a Hauby at Lv.59. I found that the Ryl. Knight's Mufflers would be better for TP build, and any of the Gigas bracelets would be better for WS than the hands. And unless you have your hands on the Voyager Sallet the head piece would be O.K. option until AF Helm. I would probably still stick with my Valk Mask though.

But that's just my 2 gil worth. Would look AWESOME if you got your hands on the whole set, and you'll probably notice a difference. STR+6 DEX+6 AGI-6 Acc+8 Atk+8 Eva-15 isn't bad for Lv.45, but again, Valk Mask almoust out does that Attack all by itself.

I love the Valkyrie's Mask but I have been unable to get one so far. Many Quadav have been killed in my quest for one but I rarely have any luck with NM drops in Beadeaux, spent a week killing Bi'Gho Headtaker when I wanted a Plantbane before I took my warrior through the jungles.

Might go and have another crack at it.......... Ga'Bhu Unvanquished here I come

Re: Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

AFAIC... that set is by far the worst investment one could make for a DRK. I think even getting a demon harness (DRK JSE) is superior (When considering the options of purchasing an SH, Haubu or Hauberk or even any of the new ToAU gear)


I'm pretty sure I was going around in RSquires gear and was satisfied with it. I mean, seriously, there's nothing much for DRKs at those levels and I'd rather focus on the ringslots and the waist before getting too caught up trying to purchase something that runs in the millions...

Re: Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

This seems pretty impossible now. The mining spots in Newton Movalpolos are botted to hell. I might just get my friend to craft me a set of mythril +1 instead because you don't see many of those around and I did a rework on it a while back.

I probably won't use the full set for an xp party because I have a few better pieces (R.K gloves for example) but it would be nice for sitting around Jeuno/Whitegate or when I am helping friends.

Edit: Found a pic of the mythril rework I did. Its had the silver changed to red, the straps are now golden and the visor is now has proper transparent sections. I started doing a damaged version a while back, maybe I will finish it if I get the set.

Makes you wonder how SE placed those spots. Considering everything there should aggro a 75...

Re: Luisant set. Is it possible to get one?

Getting this Mythril +1 set is proving harder than I thought and my level is slowly increasing whenever I get the chance. I have most of the ingredients (enough for everything but the boots) however my friend who was going to craft the set for me has gone away.

Maybe I'll just go back to getting a Pluto Staff until he gets back......

On a seperate note, how is the new Jaridah Peti set working out? I think it looks awful but the stats are pretty nice so I might grab it when I get that far.
