I bought mine for 40k in July of '05...the price has doubled since then, but it's still nowhere near the outrageous prices on some servers, apparently O_o
On midgard these go for about 250k, Well I was in Jeuno, doing god knows what, some level 75 paladin was selling what he had equipped...
I went up and checked him noticing two pieces of armor I was going to need soon with paladin. It was obviously the Knightly Mantle, and the Iron Musketeer's Gorget(200k).
He ended up selling me both of them, K.M.-100k and the I.M. gorget-100k, I was pretty happy, so If any of you see Skovey give him a nice /cheer. ^^
This is a awsome peice for pld or the boot-leg tank war. When it first came out on lakshimi it was very expensive aroudn 800k then it went to a steady 450k. And the time it took me to go 55-58 it was down at 150k. which wasent that long.
Boot leg warrior????? excuse me but i hate to tell you, Warriors were ment to tank... what do you think people did back before zilart came out???? without a warrior sub paladins would suck as a tank... becareful what you say man!~
no its not the best back for a pld , actually no where close , shadow mantle is the best but there are others out there that are equal to this mantle is some sort of way , weather it adds HP and vit or more def and vit or str
Bought this like a month ago, it helps alot..trust me..and I payed about 100k on Siren, definately worth it and I'm San d'Orian so this kicks @$$. So anyways, the extra VIT(+4) does help alot it seems, rather than the Beak+1, and I wonder if you could use this in a synth and make a +1? Would be worth a try.
These mantles are excellent for all us Paladins out there. I bought mine for 171k on Ramuh about a week ago. They fluctuate in price from 140-180k depending on availability. They evened out at around 150-160k recently.
Several of these have sold on cerberus. they started at 1.5 millon. I sit and watched it a few days and got it for 200K while there was 12 on the ah. This is probally the best back armor a PLD can get.
