Strider Boots  

I'm looking for these on Unicorn. /tell Lundar with a price if you have a set for sale.

For those of you talking about this stacking with flee.. LOL is all I can say.. Flee does not stack with any kind of movement speed+%... lawl

My LS got these, we sold them for 60 mil

2 drops in 3 days.
30 million a piece.

<3 simurgh.

I hate myself for what i did recently...i saved up 10 Mil to get either a Peacock Charm:10mil gil or Strider Boots:8mil gil. Being a RNG, i figured i'd get the charm because it was more important to my stats. So i went ahead and got the charm. A week later i got enough gil again to get the Stider boots. there was one pair in the AH so i placed 8 mil on em...no sale...then i checked the History on them...THESE THINGS DOUBLED IN PRICE IN LESS THAN A WEEK! form 8mil to 16 mil on Unicorn server >.< I know that winged boots are better for the dex, and agility...but these wouldve been nice just for status ^^ but now my dream is shattered on ever wasting the price of 18 mil that they are since i just checked last night!

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that speed enhancements don't stack on one another. I may be wrong and forgive me if I am.

these + crimson legs = one fast ranger

If you don't have 6-10 people from a HNM LS to fight for these... don't bother. On Odin there's always 20-30 people camping Sim to get these. We're 2/13 on drops over the past 15 days. They are such a rare drop that it's amazing they last more than 20 mins on the AH.

god i wish i was as lucky as yall on Titan server these go for 9-19M gil ><

thank god for thf if it wasnt for them camping nm to death their gear wouldnt be so expensive and i wouldbt get rich one day

*drool*.... dream item.... im 1-/22 of the way there... damn

cought *lie* cough,
1st if u wanted agi u could of gotten the winged boots or leaping boots that r 16times cheaper ( yea 480k on our server ). these boots are NOT for the agi. its for the 12%movement speed... the agi is welcomed addition but its not the "main stat" of the item. and that 12% movment speed is for HNM fights's and such... or just for the heck of it.

and bout soloing a T at 55
total BS i doubt u can even take a decent challange or even match at that lvl, only bst's can or maby a uber ninja

Main reason anyone needs these:

Pulling raptors slap these on so you don't get raped as much on the way back. You'll still be outrun but it'll save you a few extra hits on the way back.

Anyone know the spawn rate of the mob that drops the boots?

(1) strider boots sell so high because they are very helpful in NM hunting. since NM hunting can have a very high return moneywise (for example, leaping boots, which sell for as much as these on my server but drop from a monster easily solo-able by anyone level 17-18 or higher), it can be very profitable to invest said money.

(2) leaping boots sell so high because from level 30 until 50 or higher they are absolutely the best item for thieves to have because DEX and AGI are multipliers for the SA/TA fuidama stack (dexterity for sneak attack, agility for trick attack). in addition, since these are equippable at low levels if you have either the patience to hunt lizzy and fight a dozen other people for her (usually with flee and widescan and strider boots and other things your low level ass doesn't have), there is a huge payoff either gilwise or boostwise.

(3) liartyler is right, these are all temporary investments. since you can always sell your gear essentially for what you paid for it (bearing market fluctuations), 300k doesn't seem so bad. let's examine: say you have found a way to farm 10k an hour, and you spend 2 hours farming at each level from 15-30. this means that for every 2 hours you farm you are adding 20k to your total investment in equipment. even if you spend this money on lower level items, you will get the money back for those items as you replace them. therefore, a 300k item only implies 30 hours spent farming by this formula. not bad considering that whenever you outgrow the item you can get your 300k back. no risk!

i first realized this when saving up for traveler's mantle - 30k was steep for a lv12, but the eva +3 was a must-have for a thief puller. once i realized i only had to spend 3 hours farming to get the money, and that i was going to have to start farming in order to invest money for the future anyway, didn't seem so bad.

i am a low level ranger and i think movement speed would be good cause pts usaully make the ranger pull cause for the widescan and wide scan plus ranged attack plus these boots...equals a good pull i am buying these once they are on sale int he ah in jueno for 3.6 million gil....agi is alos good for ranged accuaracy i belive

/tell zemo and say hello i am usually on

i am on the unicorn server

I thought these boots were just for thfs. Checked a guy and found out that they are for rngs also. So heres my list b4 i lvl again.

-LuShangs-

-Strider Boots-

Then onto lvl 31.

It will take me 3 weeks to get LuShangs.

Then onto Bream Bluetil fishing.

Hence the money to pay for strider boots hehehehehe so excited.

halfway into LuShangs btw

Do you think that it would be possible to "kite" with a RNG equiping these boots, using ranged attacks?

i'm missing something here: leaping boots, Strider boots & all the other items that are really low level but have superb stat boosts are obscenely expensive but sell quite frequently. Why is this? i can't imagine that +3 to Agi & Dex will improve your chances of soloing toughs or whatever enough to warrant a 300k+ price tag. Can someone clear this up for me. it's doing my head in.
