  • Level 38 DRG +4 Acc to Jumps boots... Worth it?

    Given that the new 2 hour skill will concentrate on bonuses to jumps, outside of that, are these things really worth getting?

    Right now, they are pretty much priced at +700k on Midgardsormr...
    Which is almost as much as Leapings pre-patch.

    Is there really a huge benfit to these things? Or just a nice to have, but not something to spend loads over?

    They're good to macro in as it makes your free attack a little more dependable. At level 34, however, you can get ACC +4 on your feet for areas under your nation's control. So depending on where you're leveling, those legs may be a better investment since they apply jump and regular hits.

      Ya that was my initial thinking... 700k seems a bit unreasonable for something that happens on occasion, but figured maybe acc might not help jump for some strange reason. Getting other opinions before I purchase something.

        The Volan's Greeves actually piss me off.

        What annoys me about them is that they come like 14 levels before AF boots which will obviously replace them. In the meantime, if in area nation controls, you must as well have the republics like stated before. It would seem that if S-E were smart, they would've made this Volan's Cuisses instead so that they could work WITH AF boots instead. this is just one of many mistakes S-E made with DRG equipment.

          Yeah...
          Lesse...
          Spend 30k for +3 accuracy NQ or 300kish for HQ +4 in some areas, or spend 700k on jump period which will last me 16 levels but only effective when I jump...

          I'll spend 30k on +3 acc and work around it with my leapers actually.

                  I might be missing something here, but how much good is a pair of greaves that increase your acc by 4 for move you can only use every 1.5 minutes.......

                  Aside from that, I personally haven't had the hardest time landing jumps, 4 acc may help some, but not 700k worth by a long shot. And AF boots usually put my Jump up there with my WS damage, I can outdamage all of my 1 hit WS at lvl 60 with AF boots, I don't see how 4 acc is better then added damage, and even if you'd perfer the acc, 700K is a pretty crappy price for acc instead of damage.

                  You can use it earlier then AF boots, but unless you can get them yourself, I would do without.
                  Learning > Intelligence > Experience. Weak minds are subject to experience before realization. Inteligent minds understand quickly with minimal experience. Learned minds excersise knowledge gained from study, and do not require experience to reach realization. Which is your claim?

                    We werent compairng them to af just asked if they where worth the time to get em or 700k are they worth the gil no but they sell alot on ifrit. And we camped them because we where board on night and got the pop. Yet it is always nice to have like the one thing SE gave us for lower lvl armor lol

                      If you have the spare money, then they're always good to have. But they're not an essential.
