Igqira Weskit  

Lucky for me I read all these posts 2 days ago and looked for the armor in AH on the Sylph server and to my surprise..... 20k!!!! Lol for those who spent 1mil for it sorry!!!

I am reading all these posts about the price of this thing... Sheesh! 1M+ You gotta be outta your mind! I just bought this tonight, not even 30 min ago, on Bahamut and guess how much I bought it for? 10K! That's right! 10K! idk wtf is up with the prices on your guys' servers but it is really cheap on Bahamut...

I just bought one of these for 20k on Gilgamesh....my BLM is only 55 tho ^^...figured I'd buy it now b4 pricw went up, cant wait to wear it

I'm only a 58 BLM now but saw 20 of these up on AH and got my for 26k.

this is 80k on siren now =3

900k on lakshmi was 4-5mil when i went to bed and i get up and i see they are 500k i was like WTF then it hit me all the BLM's sold all they had b/c of the so called BLM nerf i dont got 1 still but i will get 1 ASAP now. :)

Got mine for 12m on my server (Asura) and then I saw it increase to 18m... Yes, I know how to make gil, but I think that's way too crazy (why? Because it went from 5.5-6 mil to 18 mil)... It'll drop eventually... but wow. It rarely appeared on the AH as it was. I had my sights set on this for over a month and then it went from 5.5m to 12m... and then like I said 18m. Heck, prism cape's 12+ mil too on my server now.

I'm just glad I finally got this thing for my blm. Now I just await the tells for things BLMs are very popular for >.>

This things really expensive on all servers the best thing to do is farm the ingredients and ask a local 100+ bonecrafter to make one for you but they are soo rare these days.

Igqira weskit: 9.5M and climbing on Remora. Good thing I bought mine a few months ago, it was only 2M then and I thought that was high. I watched it go from 700k to now 9.5M, it doesnt stop rising ever since we got more immigrants (majority from Asura)

Don't feel bad, on Ragnorok the price went from 5.5 million to 10 million in exactly 3 days.

That taru is so cute I want one real bad

Just gotta sell some stuff and I can by this awesome looking body piece!

Did a BCNM 60 "Wild Wild Whiskers" a lil while ago with my ls buddies. we had ninja, whm, blm. we did awesome. did it 3 times. won everytime and got the pents rope drop everytime. lucky i guess. anyways what im getting at is that im a 70 blm and i have wanted this gear since i first saw it in the ah (btw im broke and usually have about 800-1000k at 1 time). i hate farming and spending money, but in my opinion im not gimped. if i see that i can get an item off a drop rather than buy it i will camp the NM or mob for it for weeks. i was standing at the ah admiring this magnificient piece of perfection (which is 2.8 mil on asura) when i got discouraged and started look at other prices. went to pents rope and it was up to 3.2mil. so i got up my courage, sold my pents rope and bought this, the manillas, errant body, errant head, errant legs, and errant feet. i thought that it was a great deal myself. wondering what everyone else thinks. thanks

Ugh, I'm sorry, but I gotta say the fashion shot for this is just horrible. Not only can you not really see the armor scrunched up on an ugly little midget, but it's just making the stupidest face and I want to dropkick it. I mean he's probably just going to overnuke and get one-shotted, look at em'.

Anyway, this is a great armor, geared right in the center between resist and damage concerns, as well as the highly underrated Conserve MP stat. Extra Dragon Talons can come from the relatively untouched Ash Dragon (yes, it drops something!) if you have a skilled enough group.

heh, im on Seraph (worst server ever..), but its about 3 million gil here, so, is it cheaper to synth, or buy?

First of all I have to confess that this is my first post on this site all though I have used it like crazy since I started playing. I've had this armor in my inventory along with all the other blm gear I'll need till lvl 75. Unfortunately carrying igqira weskit, along with spells from 70-75, Snow Rings, Demon Helm and other bs stuff can sometimes be more of a downfall than you'd think lol ( GET MANNEQUINS ) Anywayz, I bought my Weskit armor for 2.6 mil (yes you heard that right .... 2.6 mil on Bahamut). Since then I let a good friend of mine borrow the armor because he wanted to compare the sorcerers coat, Weskit, and Mahatma to see which is truly best, about a week later he showed me pages upon pages of info and statistics that he had written down ( what a geek ) but clearly had shown that weskit is in fact better than sorcerers coat and the best blm body armor in the game. So I must say that I'm proud to have it and all the people who say that they are more pimp cuz they have sorcerers, well to put it kindly, congratz on getting an extremely hard to obtain body armor.... but in the best gear department, I got ya this time : )

I guess that in about 82 more lvls of bone and about 120 in alchemy and leather combined I will be able to make one.....hope I can do that in the 40 lvls I have before I can wear it! ^^

Bonecraft 99
Alchemy 60
Leather 60

i personally would rather have both.
it may get slightly annoying or what not, but once i get to 73... im going to have macros where i equip this and my af hat whenever i use a nuke, and then when the nuke is done, hit a macro to change back to my black cloak for the refresh effect.
might get kind of annoying, but much better then just using one.

Just wanted to post my experience about this amor since I have read some of the comments made and I am actually happy I have this armor; when it first came out I spent over a million gil to have it made for me (have it signed by a well known bonecrafter on Asura) and have not regretted it. As far as the stats, I constantly use my Black Cloak, my Errant Hauppelate (sp?), and Igqira and find that this piece of body armor nets me the most damage. Granted on exp mobs (VT and some IT at 75--Golems mostly) at times the damage difference with the 3 different armors is minute, but I seem to outdamage other taru blms using same gear as me minus the Igqira by an average of 30 to 50 (seen more than 100 difference at times--Also, I made sure that when I tested my results vs other taru blms that I gave them Melon Pies +1 so we ate the same food) for the same nukes. The conserve MP effect is truly very random, I have gone fights where using the same nukes I seem to be near full Mp and at other times I seem to be low on Mp.

From all the battles I been involved in for HNMs and Dynamis, I actually find that Black Cloak is better (sometimes Errant/Mahatma for the additional -Enmity) as the constant refresh helps out a bit. As far as endgame Blm gear, I find that the only body piece I want to get is the Sorcerer's Coat as the stats on it are pleasant enough and I like having the Refresh effect on; though once I obtain the Sorcerer's Coat I will once again test out my results in nuking vs mobs and against fellow taru blms to see what gives me the best results as though I do not have the best gear yet, I want to keep trying to get it (mahatma legs are my next item to obtain, etc)

I just like how it looks all together. I seen a few people wearing the full set with a deamons helm that looked awesome IMO. This armor is pretty much the only thing fuling me to continue leveling BLM. ^,^

This is definitely better than both Dalmatica and Blm AF2. Heck, it might even be better than a Mahatma Houppelande!

Dalmatica gives a Magic Atk Bonus of +5, 55 more MP, and Refresh; this gives a Magic Atk Bonus of +6 AND Elemental Magic Skill +5 (thus more damage), and although reducing the cost of all your spells by 2 MP might not equal Refresh and 55 more MP, you get to keep 55 HP.

Sorcerer's Coat gives Elemental Magic +5, 12 MP, Refresh, and Emnity -2; this gives Elemental Magic +5 AND Magic Atk Bonus +6 (thus more damage), reduces the cost of all your spells by 2 MP (which is arguably as good as 12 MP and Refresh), and Emnity -2 doesn't mean so much compared to the wide variety of items that give as much or more.

Finally, Mahatma Houppelande gives INT +11, MP regained from resting +6, and Emnity -4; assuming that INT affects Magic Atk in the same way that Strength affects regular Atk, Int +11 would be roughly equal to Magic Atk +6. Conserve MP +2 is better than MP regained from resting +6, and again, Emnity -4 isn't all that much compared to the extra damage you'll be dealing and all the Emnity Minus gear you have in your other equipment slots.

Thus, I hereby proclaim that the Igqira Weskit kicks more *** than any other possible Blm body equip.

omg the scarecrow comment! lol!! It's sooo true. we blms sort of got shafted in the armor dept. here here for cool looking stuff! :D

I may not be a BLM, but this looks like the best BLM body piece in the game as of yet. Even the AF2 body and Dalmatica seem to be overshadowed by this piece. Right now it's going for about 800k on Quetzalcoatl (because one guy jacked up the price of Dragon Talons, apparently).

This stuff is uber cool looking... if only it wasn't going for 1.5 mil on Pandamonium server. -.-
