Noble's Tunic  

i guess lucky for me this thing only 350k on valefor

690k currently on Bahamut.

1.7 million on Phoenix

(Note: As of this post, on the Leviathan Server, Noble's Tunic was going for 5mil at last sale, with prices no higher than 5.3mil in the history which dated back to 9/22/06. By comparison, the Black Cloak was 70k at last sale, prices no higher than 90k in the history dating back to 9/27/06. Vermillion Cloak was at 4mil at last sale, prices no higher and no lower than 3,790,000 in history back to 9/27/06, and Haubergeon was 2,150,000 at last sale, prices no higher and no lower than 2,000,000 in the history back to 9/30/06. Why is Noble's more expensive? Because Shining Cloth is a pain in the arse to get.)

I have to question the people claiming that they'll 'stop leveling' White Mage at or around 68-70 because of this item. How much of that is you actually needing this item to level post-68/70, and how much of that is you actually just wanting this item so badly you won't level past that point without it?
I see this the same way I saw a Haubergeon as I approached level 59 on my Hume Dark Knight. It's an incredible item; it would undoubtably be extremely useful in party situations, among others. But I don't need it any more than I need, oh, a Vermillion Cloak. It's not a necessity, it's a highly desirable item; and as a WHM65, who's just coming off the rebound to bring his subjob up to par, I honestly can say that I have no intention of stopping my leveling process pre-71+ just to work myself to death trying to afford this item.
ESPECIALLY not with the Christmas season rolling in; it's the same every year so far. Christmas comes, the Gilselling sites start dropping prices and offering 'holiday specials', and before you know it, prices are like a balloon filled with helium- they keep going up and up and up.
But I digress. I honestly don't see any item like this as a necessary part of my job unless its price happens to be more affordable; and even then, I'll usually pick it up as a little personal treat. Kind of like a comparison between the icing and the cake; are the Noble's Tunic, the Vermillion Cloak, or the Haubergeon the 'cake', or are they just icing?

Valefore price update: Noble's Tunic ~7 mil, Royal Cloak ~7.5 mil. Umm... Lol noble's got lower than a Royal Cloak. Noble's Tunic is actually not that bad now in terms of price, and is starting to become a lot more common nowadays.

<Warrior in my party> Man I need to get gil for armor next level.
<Me> Yeah I know what you mean, i'm taking a break from {White Mage} because I can't pay for Nobles
<W> Nobles? How much is that.
<M> {Um...} 10 mil, 11 mil? something like that.
<W> 10 mil for a quest?!?!?!?! What quest is that??!
<M> Dow what with the who now?
<W> What quest is 10 mil?
<M> Nobles is a piece of armor
<W> O why not just camp it?
<M> Because its a clothcraft synth?
<W> So level clothcraft?
<M> Its like a level 90ish synth
<W> 10 mil should get you that far
<M> Probibly not if I buy all my materials
<W> O
<M> Why wouldnt I just buy the Nobles with the 10mil instead?
<W> Because then you could make one whenever you needed it!
If only we could all be as innocent as rank 4 taru wars using scythes

i've seen most of those Big Ticket Spells listed here at the magic shop NPCs for considerbly less than the prices your listing. Some of you may wish to check the Federal Magic Reserve in Windurst before buying from the AH.

/sigh 25mil on remora, last i saw... things are going up about a million a day now...

These are 21 million on my server :/

Noble's Tunic is going for about 15,000,000 on Unicorn right now :(

Good news is the price of the vermi cloak is almost 8,000,000 now. I can sell that and *only* need 7,000,000 more! /cry

                  Noble Tunic: 25,500,000 Gil.

wow.... thats alot of money, i might not even have that much at end game =O i have like 5 mil all together in junk, only because my items cost ALOT more then they did when i got them.



[Edddiiitttt] Spelling, i spelled a word wrong, very.... wrong =O

this armor is ranging from 13-16 mil gil on Valefore server ..and is sold quite often. the +1 version was sold once on the AH for 100million by a lvl 75 JP named Pirorin i think his name was.. he had 250mil gil after he bought that too..he showed me when we were in a party together.he speaks pretty good english i think but use simple words.

I know someone who failed this craft and lost the shinig cloth, lucky they did not buy it, it was off of HNM.

The tunic is about 9-10 mill on Fenrir

someone on Caitsith sold somthing to himself for over 99 million... you could see it on AH history... and he STILL hunts all the HNMs with his LS who is just as rich >_<... wich those ppl would give others a chance >_>! he is ALSO the seller of 7-8 Nobles tunics in AH price history... solid 11 million each... >_<

Grats Mell!

Well, it's been exactly 7 months since my first post to this item. I'm proud to say that last night I was able to get my very own Shining Cloth from Kirin! After weeks and weeks of praying for it to drop from Suzaku, the ls felt ready to finally take on the big guy.

Let me offer some advice, Suzaku will disappoint you VERY often if you expect to get a Cloth from him. It can sense your desperation. Heck, it even dropped a venomous claw instead of a shining cloth one time. From over a dozen fights, he was very stingy. If you truly want to earn the SCloth, you'll eventually have to face Kirin. And even then, it's only about a 1/3 chance of dropping.

Anyway, to all you white mages out there, keep reaching for the Noble's Tunic! Get into an HNMLS or start one with your friends! Then get started on those gods! ����΂��āI

ballad I + Ballad II = 3 mp/3 secs also....

this is 19,000,000 on phinox

6 Million gil on Fairy server.

I just drool over this.. i want it so bad. But the question is where am i going to get 2-3 million gil to buy this?

Anyone know if the Cure Potency would stack with a Light Staff?

There's only been 3 sold on my server, all for an outrageous amount. Granted the Shining Cloth is rather hard to get, but jeez, that's nuts. If I were to synth one I'd be damned sure to synth on Lightning day, buffs from guild masters, and maybe even a blood pact with the devil. Like KudomaBooYah said, failing this synth would suck..bad. The cloth takes lots of people, and organizing an event like that is not exactly easy, and the people won't want to try again anytime soon if it's failed.

Hiya, me again! Just thought I'd let some of you know that we finally have one up for sale at the Jeuno AH! Everytime I go to the AH, I bid all my money in the hopes of catching the seller off-guard. Hasn't happened yet. Also, I've now seen two players with this awesome piece on. One guy wears a full jse set. Very nice to see, but even better, another girl player (my twin^^) wears it with a set of opaline shoes and rse female hume pants! She's so cute! I want to be her!

I'm still testing the gardening theory though for getting the Shining Cloth. It takes forever to grow those things :( I have 3 on the go, but I plan to try for more than that as money permits. I'll let everyone know when I finally get some results.

Oh man... what an ordeal it will be to get this item. So, I've got 3 options:

King Behemoth drops the Shining Cloth, but that isn't a certainty, and we also know that he is a lottery pop, so the chances of getting him once he shows up is slim.

New info I just got, Suzaku is also known to drop this rare cloth. However, it's also not a certainty. And before he will show up, you have to fight both a Da.... some sort of weapon NM (forget his name off-hand) and Faust for the Summerstone and South ??? in order to get Suzaku to appear. Oh, and getting a chance for the drop assumes that you survive the encounter as well :)

Lastly, I have been told by a very reliable source that Shining Cloth is an item that can also be cultivated through gardening. As for the method, it's highly kept secret or unknown, seeing as how he that controls the spice, err... I mean, he that controls the recipe, commands a vast possilibity of cash and would more than likely keep it secret.

As of now, I have yet to see either a Shining Cloth or Noble's Tunic item up for any past bids at the Jeuno AH, making me want this item even more :)

I'll monitor this thread regularly, in the hopes of reaching my dream...
